Fender Super-Sonic 22 Combo Review

In 2006, we saw the new Fender amps, dubbed Super-Sonic, with 60 watts under the hood and available in head or combo version. In 2010 we see a combo version of 22 Watts, sharing characteristics of its older brother. It sounds very clean and Fendery, with also saturated and high gain tones as well. Focus on the Super-Sonic Combo 22 today... Read more…

    OVERALL OPINION

    IN early 2013, I was in the space of two weeks and 2 Supersonic my adventure with them lasted Altogether 3 weeks!
    The first Supersonic:
    - A lot of breath (yes, I know a tube amp it blows But there huffs and puffs!.!)
    - As soon as you pushed the reverb more than 2, it produced an internal feedback (even unplugged guitar -> it was not a return induced by scratching) obviously transcribed by a huge Larsen on HP that only the extinction of the device could interrupt - microphonics problem, I think.
    - Same with the volume of the clean channel: volume above 3-4 amp déjantait and went into monstrous Feedback! exactly thesame problem with the reverb

    This amp, a week after purchase, I was therefore exchanged by the vendor.

    All happy I get my second Supersonic ... Hahahahaha:
    - It was not the wind, but a real tornado on channel 2! Accompanied by snoring + sizzling making this channel unusable
    - Same problem internal feedback that the first Supersonic, but this time with the loop! totally unusable since he began to make feedback as soon as the volume effects were no longer connected to 0!
    - An explosion sound (I do not not exaggerate the "cluck" more or less strong we hear on some amps!) To change the channel.
    - Creaking noises from the clean channel volume 3

    Discouraged, I take this second supersonic saying: never Supersonic! But this said with a twinge, because ultimately:
    if this amp was able to function,
    would have been a dream amp!
    Hahahahaha

    And traditional control labels accompanying the amp made me laugh. Fender controls are the next morning evening of great cooked?

    I have read a lot of forums French, American, German and opinions regarding the Supersonic are very mixed, very good but also very many testimonies of troubles with this material.
    In principle, this combo is attractive. But it seems to suffer (from what I've read, but it remains to check: what I say is not proof) of a design flaw on the one hand and quality conditions very random production.
    I suggest you try a long copy you purchase from every angle in order to uncover any defects. ;-) For example: An attempt to do: put the reverb at 5 with a low volume amplification, scratch your guitar, unplug it immediately and simultaneously increase the volume on the amp.
    Maybe Will you be one of those buyers who met swear by the Supersonic? This is not my case!
    Instead of this super Supersonic, I offered a Egnater Rebel Combo 112 (close enough in my opinion the spirit of Supersonic) and everything works! Owl: it was not my brain that produced internal feedabcks in Fender! hahahahah

    UTILIZATION

    RAS Everything is childish. The manual is not necessary, really can not get any easier. For my part, I put all the knobs at noon to try it and it already sounded ... It remains only to turn a bit the buttons to get everything you want.

    SOUNDS

    It's very simple, this amp sounds what we do. 2 ultra clean sounds are complementary (although there is a slight increase in the level of the clean channel by engaging the Fat mode).
    The 2-band EQ is absolutely not a problem and the range of clean tones is quite impressive. Play Funk? OK. Blues? No problem. Reggae? Without worry. I bet jazz it also works.

    As for the Burn channel (saturated so) it has 2 gains waterfall and a 3-band EQ. The hardest? Choose from the available sounds ... You can go to a blues sound becomes clear that the volume of the guitar to sound ultra saturated, very stoner, metal if you want ... anything is possible. Strictly speaking the ultimate metal fans will probably go through an external pedal but I'm not an expert of style.

    Anyway I do not put "only" 9/10 because I now a SuperSonic FSR 22 with a Celestion Greenback, which sounds even better!

    OVERALL OPINION

    The trouble with the SuperSonic, this is not the sound, it's to make it work ...
    The construction is really sloppy, but especially electronics is really light. Still happening on the "natural" breath of the amp. While it is light but annoying (hear his tremolo modulation in the loop while the guitar volume is at zero ...)
    The most problematic is especially the "POP" to change channel (saturated to light) which is unacceptable ... 2 amps tested 2 different years and the same problem appears. With a delay in the effects loop, it was downright pop in the delay ... Unbearable.
    However, I must be lucky, my amp reverb working properly ... Anyway, direct back to the store and finding the presence of the same problems on several SuperSonic in stock, new and used. Fender must ABSOLUTELY react.
    In summary, if you want to buy this amp, go for it for the sound, but TRY IT BEFORE YOU ABSOLUTELY!

    on the other hand too distortion generates breath, so I recommend to those who want a very saturated sound.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I am very happy with this purchase, only problem I encountered, was heard a thump when changing light saturated channel (now almost inaudible), so I advise you to pay attention to this detail when buying This has happened several times (do research on the net), so do not buy this amp online, but occas or shop in any case try it before. It took pronto I refer to it finds a faulty lamp.

    Test to be performed, you're in the clear, you scratch an agreement, let it ring for a channel change, this is where the trouble is heard, if he worries there's ... there not necessarily think while trying to shop, and it is, unfortunately, seen at home.

    For the rest I love the sound, weight (it changes the twin), being able to use it in all configurations.

    Fender Super Sonic 22

    Fender Super-Sonic 22 ComboPublished on 02/20/11 at 15:00
    This is the Super Sonic 22 blonde combo amp by Fender. The amp puts out 22 watts of tube power into 1 Fender Lightning Bolt 12' speaker made by Eminence.

    The amp has 2 channels: vintage and burn. Across the face of the amp from left to right we have: Volume, Normal, Treble, Bass, Channel switch Vintage/Burn, Gain 1, Gain 2, Treble, Bass, Mid, Volume and Reverb.

    The tubes in it are 2 6V6 (power) and 3x 12AX7 and 2x 12AT7 for your preamp.

    Basically Fender wanted to build and amp that could give your a great fat vintage tone as well as a high gain modern crunch.

    I bought this amp locally used for $650, brand new they are $1000. I picked it up because I was looking for a small co…

    Basically Fender wanted to build and amp that could give your a great fat vintage tone as well as a high gain modern crunch.

    I bought this amp locally used for $650, brand new they are $1000. I picked it up because I was looking for a small combo to gig with. This has plenty of power and tone I can live with.

    I love the vintage blonde look and the cool knobs. Looks like I'm playing through a vintage amp, but in fact it came off the factory line probably less than 2 years ago.

    The tone is great. It is like having a clean amp and 2 dirty amps in one. Classic sounding Fender reverb, not that new digital crap.

    Really no way to improve. Maybe a little more power so I can get some more headroom on the clean channel, but that is just me being picky.

    I'm always impressed with Fender's build. I believe this is a USA built amp. The blonde finish was applied well and the knobs are easy to move and read.

    It's like having a clean amp, a dirty amp, a vintage amp and a modern amp all in one without any kind of fake digital modeling. I love this amp!

    View other records for data sheet, I will not repeat or visit Fender. The one I will mention is 22 watt lamps that appear 30 or more.

    UTILIZATION

    The setup is so easy for the clean channel: EQ bass and treble EQ. This is the gain (distortion) channel that has the most to work with 2 sound gains to the second compressor remember that anything else. You get what you want easily, not need the manual.

    SOUNDS

    The sound is very variable on the channel gain (several possibilities) the clean channel is super friendly. The distortion channel is perfect for rock 70's 80's 90's ... beautiful bass emanate from this amplifier. It's warm again (compared to my Traynor YCV 40) but it …

It's warm again (compared to my Traynor YCV 40) but it can be nasiard if we push the treble already present at the base. If we rule around noon and below the clear, fine. Otherwise, ouch ears!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for some time but I do know in amp and it is my amp of choice for my Jaguar with humbuckers ... As the Jazzmaster with single coils going well but I have to cut the tone control on it because the amp delivers such a dose of acute ... The only problem with the amp is too much background hiss his "present" in my opinion. The lights work almost open plan ... they could have better close the rear of the machine. But it's part of my collection and it is not ready to leave because it is so distinctive, he brings out the best of our guitars even more waste. This is an amp that has character and personality I think.

    Amp any lamp Fender, 3 channel with reverb spring.
    The clean channel is based on the normal circuit Deluxe Reverb, the clean channel adds body fat and low, and finally the channel distortion can shape the sound very gradually through the two gains.

    The clean channel has a volume equalization treeble / bass and a switch normal / fat.
    The distortion channel has 2 gain, treeble, middle and bass and volume.
    The reverb is common to the two channels.

    The switch on / off and stanby are positioned at the rear of the amp, not practical at first but it holds fast which does what.

    The switch on / off and stanby are positioned at the rear of the amp, not practical at first but it holds fast which does what.

    The back of the amp provides the connections for an external loop (without adjustment, it's all or nothing) for external speaker and the loudspeaker.

    The power delivered is sufficient for the average person unless you play in a stadium. I never went beyond 3 / 10 on the clean channel and beyond 4 / 10 on the channel distortion, even in outdoor concert.

    The footswitch that came with the amp is very comprehensive as it controls the switch normal / fat, changing the channel, effects loop and reverb.

    UTILIZATION

    Super simple setup, and all settings sound good.
    The manual is zero but the bed? For there are plans against the power amp.

    SOUNDS

    To be honest I changed the HP for a Celestion V30 in the first hours of use, the original HP is very (too) medium and it comes out that vintage sound of the amp. With the change of HP you can play with the EQ to give a vintage or modern coloration to the sound and the clean sounds are still growing.

    For the clean channel is Fender's, hyper dynamic even at low volume, beautiful, very far ahead of what I heard. Lens of the normal and fat on fat mode. Do not compare this amp with the little 5 watt amp that is beginning to find anywhere, this is not the same range, it is well above the SuperSonic.

    The presence of two gains of the channel distortion makes all the difference. The first for the determination of gain level, the second adjusts the compression level and combinations are almost endless. It comes out of the light crunch (https://www.youtube.com/user/MrFixcool?feature=mhee p/a/u/0/F_5uz1cZl5Y #) to the SRV to a very heavy distortion typical rock / hard rock without giving into the metal.

    The spring reverb is beautiful even if it is drowning in excess of 4 / 10.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this amp for 6 months and tried many amps before making my choice (booogie mesa, marshall, orange, blackstar, peavey, etc.).. I was looking for a Fender clean sound and a typed channel distortion with a very wide range, all with the opportunity to spend the next vintage of force.

    What I like most about this amp is the dynamic clear sound and the combination of two gains of the channel distortion that allows me to cover all styles of music I play.

    THEN WHY ONLY 5 / 10?
    The less and less what .... it is the breath of the amp without any instrument plugged in and with all the knobs to 0. A real shame for an amp of this price, which tarnishes a balance that would have been perfect. I changed all the lights for WA but without success, the breath is always present.
    It seems that some models are quiet, buy the store in order to try it before!
    In any case, the amp for me a life (when I have found a quiet)!

    Let me explain: you can get everything from slight crunch to the creamy overdrive.
    I have an American Start and a Les Paul Standard, and it works great.
    I read that some complain of a breath souffle.effectivement ago, having said that it is very light and it does not interfere at all when playing.
    I've been trying other amps, and there is always a little something, if not be taken with a digital amp sound rotten and no breath!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 6 months, and I am very happy.
    I tried the vox, laney, orange, ... and that was the most versatile, and above all better equipped.
    The big advantage is boosted channel, for a fender known for its clean sounds it's nice!
    value for the price is right.
    with experience, I would do this choice because to play blues and rock, I have not found better!

    Classic Fender

    Fender Super-Sonic 22 ComboPublished on 06/26/11 at 21:46
    This is the exact same amp as the oxblood over wheat tolex amp. You get the same great features and tone as that, but this is is classic Fender amplifier look. Even the speakers are the same. This one looks obviously more classic with the black tolex and original Fender silver grille cloth. Either way this is a fantastic amp.

    This is one of the very best modern amplifiers that Fender has put out. This is more of a high gain amp for Fender but still keeping the vintage clean tones they are so famous for having.

    * Deluxe Reverb power platform,
    * Vintage channel contains pre-gain tone controls and two switchable voices
    * Burn channel contains dual gain controls and post-gain EQ

    * Amp Type: Tube
    * Output: 22 Watts, 8 ohms
    * Speaker: 12", 50 Watt Fender "Lightning Bolt" Speaker by Eminence®
    * Channels: 2 (Vintage and Burn)
    * Controls: Vintage Channel: Volume, Treble, Bass, Voicing Switch (Normal/Fat). Burn Channel: Gain 1, Gain 2, Treble, Bass, Middle, Volume, Master Reverb
    * Effects Spring Reverb
    * Covering: Black Textured Vinyl


    SOUNDS

    I like this amp with all kinds of guitars, but mostly I like it with a Fender Stratocaster or a Charvel San Dimas or Socal. I like the light to medium tone of the ash and alder body woods. This compliments the nature of the amp quite well. The clean is very Fender sparkly and jangly. Then you go to channel two and having two gains is almost heaven. This is something you see on several boutique amplifiers. Suhr amps like the PT100 has a similar thing but theirs acts like another channel. This one just gives you deeper and juicy gain distortion.

    OVERALL OPINION


    If you need a good clean tone and a hot rod gainy distortion channel then this is your amp. The clean is remarkable and the gain has so much variation with the dual gains that is makes this amp a lot of fun to play.

    I have spotted this amp out and about for the new price of $1399. That is on the high side of Fender amps especially the deluxe amps.

    Having two channels and both are exceptional is a big bonus. I would recommend anyone to go and try this amp if you get the chance. You may or may not like the voicing but it is a solid amplifier.

    This is a gorgeous looking amp. The tone alone is enough to get excited about but the coolest looking tolex cover I have seen on any of these amps. The tolex is a sweet looking surf green color and the grille cloth is a wheat brown color. They match up quiet nicely. You get the same great tone and features as the black and silver standard but just a upgraded look.

I would call this a vintage modern amp for Fender.

    SOUNDS

    I like this amp with all kinds of guitars, but mostly I like it with a Fender Stratocaster or a Charvel San Dimas or Socal. I like the light to medium tone of the ash and alder body woods. This compliments the nature of the amp quite well. The clean is very Fender sparkly and jangly. Then you go to channel two and having two gains is almost heaven. This is something you see on several boutique amplifiers. Suhr amps like the PT100 has a similar thing but theirs acts like another channel. This one just gives you deeper and juicy gain distortion.

    OVERALL OPINION

    If you need a good clean tone and a hot rod gainy distortion channel then this is your amp. The clean is remarkable and the gain has so much variation with the dual gains that is makes this amp a lot of fun to play.

    At new these amps come in at around $999. Not a bad price for the quality and usability of this amp. Having two channels and both are exceptional is a big bonus. I would recommend anyone to go and try this amp if you get the chance. You may or may not like the voicing but it is a solid amplifier.

    DO NOT BUY

    N'achetz not this amp ... it has a manufacturing defect unexplained at the reverb: microphonics impossible to control.
    I see some smart kids who are already responding: did you just change the lights of the reverb. OK
    The microphone can be caused by factors plusieus: lamps, lamp holders, electronics failing, ... . So not that easy to determine the cause.
    Personally, I bought mine nine which went for repair the day after purchase. Four months later, still not returned from Fender, I received a second that the store had ordered and ... same problem.
    Read the forums, I'm not alone.
    Annoyed, I bought a Hot Rod Deluxe III: PHENOMENAL, with much more character.

    A Super (sonic) amp!

    Fender Super-Sonic 22 ComboPublished on 04/27/11 at 15:50
    The Fender Super Sonic 22 is a recent addition to their line of Super Sonic amps. These amps are meant to take Fender cleans and pair them with a thick and viscous sounding overdrive channel. The Super Sonic 22 is a smaller combo (1x12 version) that comes in at a very gig friendly and easy to handle 22 watts of power (same as the ever popular Fender Deluxe Reverb reissue.

    The amplifier is 22 true tube watts as stated, and is powered by dual 6V6 power tubes.

    The amplifier is 22 true tube watts as stated, and is powered by dual 6V6 power tubes. It's got two channels (vintage and burn), separate EQ controls for each channel, an onboard reverb, effects loop, and a single Fender "Lightning Bolt" speaker built/designed by Eminence speakers. The vintage channel (IE: clean) has a switchable mode to go from "normal" mode to a "fat" mode, which takes the sound from the 60s blackface Fender chime (normal) to a much thicker tweed esque Fender growl with more gain and low end (fat). The gain channel is interesting in that it features two cascaded gain controls (gain 1 and gain 2) as opposed to a single master gain control. This allows you to set up more of an old school sort of tone much like the classic Marshall amps sometimes did when they were modified to accept a master volume control, so they'd have dual cascading gains and a master volume.

    UTILIZATION

    Getting a good tone out of this amplifier was very simple for sure. Most Fender amps are very intuitive and easy to set up and this is no exception. The clean channel is very basic, with just single volume and tone controls and the aforementioned normal/fat mode switch. The normal mode is definitely a much cleaner sound, and if you add in some reverb and use a single coil loaded guitar, it's very jangle-y and crisp, much like a nice Fender blackface or early silverface combo amplifier. The fat mode takes it up a few notches to that much thicker/grittier clean tone that was prominent in some of Fender's tweed amplifiers. This mode is great with a slightly overwound single coil, a P90 or a medium output humbucker for a compressed and gritty clean that is wonderful sounding for bluesier textures.

    The drive channel is very thick and booming. It's not a modern sounding smoother gain channel, but rather a more classic sounding, almost fuzz like gain channel that works really well for sludgier sort of tones. The cascading gain controls are nice because you can get a blend of two different gain textures and mix them together for whichever sort of sound suits you. The best comparison I have for the drive channel is basically an older tweed Fender that has been turned up to obscenely hot levels and sounds like it may blow up... it is truly an on the edge sound.

    SOUNDS

    I've tried this amp with numerous Fender, Gibson and Charvel guitars and each had their own great characteristics that worked very well with the amp. Each mode on the clean channel was very useable and sounded great despite having only two controls to work with. The overdrive channel is definitely geared towards a classic sound. It doesn't have the tightness for modern rock/metal tones I find, but there are other amps out there for that. I suspect that the 6V6 power tubes contribute to this, as I noticed the same sort of thing with the 6V6 loaded Orange Rockerverb 50 that I owned. The EQ controls work very well on the overdrive channel and provide a good round mix of all frequencies. The reverb, though it can be drippy at higher settings is very useable on both channels as well.

    OVERALL OPINION

    All in all I feel this is a great sounding amp by Fender. It blends vintage and modern voicings together in one package that is topped off with a great Fender reverb, an effects loop, and a very gig/player friendly 22 watt 1x12 package. It reacts well with many different types of guitars with many different pickups, and all of those tones sound good in all the right places. Definitely an awesome buy.

    not need the manual is simple, it's plug and play!

    SOUNDS

    broad topic, the sounds! channel goes from clean vintage style deluxe reverb to crunch.le good "fat" adds a little gain and medium.c is beautiful, precise but lacks a bit of heat to go tease tenors of genre.le crunch is really superb, with a genial good lp or it will burn sg.le channel of the overdrive light (kind TubeScreamer) has the kind disto mesa boogie.avec controls both gain and equalizer truly effective, we get a lot of reverb sons.la just embellish it all but it is a bit too long for my taste.

    OVERALL OPINION

    this amp is really amazing, far from conventional fender.il accepts pedals very well be it front or in the boucle.de more, I just go in our lamps and the result is beyond my hopes! ! the extra bit of fever has disappeared and the slight lack of heat also!
    remains to know what is the speaker but I think a greenback or vintage 30 would make the distortion even more beautiful ....
    when a speaker has in celestion super sonic ?????
