Sound: I had a Fender Deluxe RI 22 watter used in conjunction to my Marshall 50 watt Vintage Modern rig. I loved the clean of the Deluxe but I kept wishing that amp had some serious gain and distortion on another channel. This Supersonic 22 filled the bill nicely. I don't need or have the Marshall anymore. I can't wait to pair the Eminence Speaker on the Fender with a Celestion Vintage 30 Loaded 1x12" cab. 22 WATTS LOUD ENOUGH- I SOLD MY PEAVEY JSX 2X12" COMBO WITH 120 WATTS.. because Heck yeah it's loud enough. I and my listeners enjoy the tone more, now. The amp tone guide that comes with the amp stays on my amp..very useful. Feature: It has everything I need. I sold my huge pedal board of Distortions and overdrives and kept the Line 6 X3 Live,..BECAUSE I'M EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE DISTORTION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SUPERSONIC. The pedal board supplied is great. Ease of Use: The amp comes with manual-how hard is that? I keep the amp setting placard on my amp for quick settings tweaks for different styles of music and different tones. Very useful.-Thanks Quality: I've owned Fender for 48 years From Blackface, Silverface ,Evil face, Red Knob,Rivera, M80's,with JBLS, WITH UTAHS, WITH JENSENS. THE AMPS ARE STILL SATISFYING SOME PLAYER out there in the world. This by far is my favorite Fender amp. My Silverfaced Super reverb is my 2nd all time fave. it took Years to find My favorite amp. Thank You Steve Vai. Value: ZZ ZOUNDS MUSIC WILL MATCH WHAT COMPETITORS ADS ARE BUT WHEN SUPPLIED WITH THE RIGHT INFO DOCUMENTING THE ADS..ZZ ZOUNDS DID DO BETTER THAN THE ADS. I SAVED SOME SERIOUS MOOLAH ON MY SUPERSONIC as with ALL my PURCHASES. THANKS ZZOUNDS..You Are My Mates. Manufacturer Support: I've used them- The Fender Corp. Support.. for my Strats.. getting Guitar info on my resale purchases. Very quick and courteous in response.-Thanks mates for the great info over the years. I've not had to use them on amp problems. The Wow Factor: Private on sex Appeal. I'ts a practical addition to my rig for sure. Overall: I would buy it again for all reasons.

Overall: First, believe the hype, it sounds awesome and is VERY LOUD for 22 watts. The good: All the fender clean tones from black face to bassman. The 2 gain stages does away with and tube screamer need. The re-verb is perfect. The look, perfect the foot switch, awesome. I can go from any clean I want to More gain than I will ever use. The bad (for some of us): there is no bedroom volume here. I can not get the volume over 1 in my apartment. 22 tube watts is a gross understatement. I went with the 22 hoping that I could use it at my home. It will take an attenuator to accomplish that. Not really "a bad" but, the only thing I wish I could change.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: The Super-Sonic 22 came to me with the reverb not working. As a amp tech for a Fender authorized repair facility, I troubleshot the problem as a bad reverb tank. Upon opening the reverb tank I found the ground wire for both the input and output connectors broken off. I solder them back in place and the reverb worked fine. My boss will be filling a claim with Fender because I called and registered the amp for the warrantee coverage. This amp has a characteristic Fender clean channel and great reverb. The fat feature on the clean channel really packs a punch for the haevier blues/rock I like and the burn channel has a great range of tones and distortion with the two gain controls and post tone controls. The only thing it did not have that wass part of the "65" Deluxe Reverb was vibrato/tremelo which I fixed with the Eric Clapton pedal's Leslie effect run through the effects loop, just turn down the output control and it work well in both the clean and burn channels. Feature: The amp came with a cover and 4 button foot switch. The foot switch does it's job very well and it's heavy construction should make it last for a long time. The only feature I would have like to have had was tremelo but I got around that with a pedal through the effects loop. Ease of Use: This amp delivers a good range of tones and was easy to learn how to use and change between them. Quality: Even though Fender has gone to using plywood (birch) in it's cabinets, the Lightning Bolt speaker has a great range of tones with a solid bass for a small (22 Watt) amp. Value: I think this amp is a little over priced and I bought because I got it at areduced price because it was used. Manufacturer Support: Yes, I registered the amp with Fender even though it was used they accepted my registration becuase zZounds is a Fender distributor. I repaired the reverb tank wiring. The Wow Factor: It is a very practical addition to my gear, 5 amps & 3 cabinets, 4 guitars. Overall: I have a tendency to stick with and improve my amps and build my own cabinets, so I will probably keep this one for a while.

Sound: This is the workmans dream! True Fender Classic sound. Out of the box it needed time for the tubes to burn in. Easy to dail in a good Rhythm & lead tone with my Strat & Tele. Low end need a boost so I added a Roland 4x8 Cab and there it was the sound I needed to create the Baseman & Vibrolux tone. I love the way you can kick off the effects. I run a Boss Delay, EQ and Noise gate through the loop and now I need to sell all my other Amps. Feature: The floor switch pedal is built to last and the design is first rate. Ease of Use: It extreamly easy to get a great tone. My two fenders guitars have been modded by Pro's and this amp brings out the best in the Classic Strat & Tele sound. The Manual is basic but if you have been around you don't need it. The Boss EQ is not needed to get a good sound but this Amp like it and brings out the Bells & Punch when needed. Quality: I just received this a two days ago so I can really comment on reliability yet. I will not treat this like my Road Amps but will use it live on special events. It appears to be what I have been waiting for to replace all the heavy Mesa Boogies, Twins, Marshals that I own. After playin for 30 years you need something light that Kicks out tones Smooth as Silk & Breath Fire when needed. Value: I believe it is worth it! But then again I'll earn money with this amp. If your a Pro or just want to sound like one without breaking your back. This is it. All my friend own the Fender Blues Jr. and had them Modded. I cant wait to see them when they kick themselves for not waiting for this. Manufacturer Support: I've own many Fender Amps and only standard tube replacements was needed way beyound warrenty. Never had to deal with the Company. The Wow Factor: I have the Tan color it looks great with my VHT extension Cab. Overall: This is the keeper. Need different tones, it handles pedals with out loss of feel. I just wish it had a low Z output & a hard shell case. I will buy this again as soon as I sell all that heavy gear.
