I just bought one today, used at GC. it was 770.00 plus 25.00 for shipping to a close store + tax=875.00. I had to get the pedal from Reverb, that was 85.00. I think in total about 900.00. I will know with in 45 days if I am going to keep it. I like the return policy, especially when used & I have not played any of my axes through it. I want to know how it takes pedals as well. I bought the Tweed-it was the same price as the black. I like the tweed look.
I gigged this amp for years. Used the clean channel as a pedal platform, and dialed in a delicious boosted lead tone on the burn channel. If you can't sound great through a SS22, you won't sound good through anything
I bought this amp back in 2012 & it is an incredible amp right out of the box . Much like the Fender Twin Reverb , but better ! You can play almost any genre of music without adding any extra effects . You have to take your time & play around with knobs & settings , gains etc , . But the clean & dirty sounds are just like wow .
Thank you- you answered my question. There is a 3 & 4 button if bought used, as I did. In the event there is a multi pin cable going into the footswitch -That means it turns on/off the FX loop. The threee switch does not have the FX on it.
Nice demo! Thank you. I've been looking for a 20ish watt tube amp (head) for a long time. I've looked at just about everything out there except, wait for it, the Fender Super Sonic. It sounds great, my search is over.
Great demo, you’re the right guy for the job with the varied “real world “ gigging experience you’re sharing with us. Amazing what’s happening with stuff we used to look down our noses at- solid state amps , budget import guitars are way better than anything available when I started out! Again, great job Rich
Yeah I put a 12ay7 in V4 position and it is dead silent at idle Also a 5751 into V1 position and JJ 6v6s to give it a little more Headroom so I get just a little break up at volume 4 when I'm playing out I really only use the clean channel sometimes I'll click over for leads sometimes I just noticed that channel 2 kind of doesn't have the backbone that the clean channel has
I been eyeing this amp this past month. I think I watched every possible You Tube video on it. Stil have to try one in person. Very cool that you did a video on it. I also love your guitar. I just changed my andonized gold pickguard on my Fender Ultra Stratocaster Texas Tea with a tortoise shell Looks alot like your strat in this video but with a maple neck.
I don’t generally like Fender amps (I know right) but this one and the bass breaker series are great. Generally prefer the way Vox and Marshalls respond to my playing
Great playing, really good demonstration. I bought one -used at GC. I think I paid 870.00 + 85.00 for a footswitch. The Footswitch says effects. I hope it turns the FX loop on/off. I have 45 days to decide. There was only one factory setting that I thought was a no go for me. It had the Bass on 11. I think that is the setting that did not sit the best for you.-Take care, God bless.
Quite a bit of gain for a Fender amp but sounded a bit dark to me. I like to use gain from an amp and use the volume pots on the guitar to clean up the sound. There is such a choice of amps these days covering all budgets. Not sure if this is one I would go for.
I've always wondered abou these. I loved the old Fender Prosonic amps for high gain. (Actually for almost anything.) I always thought this amp was supposed to be a less quirky version of the Prosonic. I used to be a channel switching amp and a couple of pedals guy but that changed years ago. Now I'm a pedal guy. However, since this amp would probably be a great pedal platform it might be worth adding to the stable. Currently I don't have any amp that will do high gain.
I wonder why Fender doesn't produce an amp designed for metal? Pretty much everyone else offers something truly high gain, but this seems to be as close as FMIC can get.
WOW... this amp sounds great. I had no idea Fender was producing anything like this. Thanks Rich!
Welcome!
I love the super sonics. Underrated and still an affordable used market
Yeah, you basicly get all the Fender tones but more.

Great amp , The Gain 2 cranked creates a warm organic crunchy sound .
Have one and it's a beauty
Thumbs up for Australia 🇭🇲👍🇭🇲

Traynor YCV40 is my favorite inexpensive tube amp. Like a Hot Rod Deluxe but with a much better drive channel and usable reverb and volume pots.

@@RichBischoff thank you for putting in the work!
Excellent combo and its presentation. Greetings. Pavel CZ.👍👍👍
That’s a pretty cool sounding amp. Versitile too!
Nice vid, Rich! Fender amps are awesome! That Super - Sonic has great tone, especially with the higher gain! 😎🎸🤘
I’d go with the 65 deluxe reissue and a couple pedals✌🏻🎸🎶
I used to have one and I used it as a cleanish pedal platform and it sings.

I get a lot of love for that strat and it's one of my older guitars.

Adding the extra gain in those amps was helpful for Fender to find a wider range in the amp market.
A great thourogh review as always! I'm not that crazy about the amp but I love the strat!!
I love strat as well!

How would you say this compares to a Mesa Boogie Rectoverb 25??

I was moving. I wish I hadn’t sold it.

All the 5150 EVH amps..
Definitely for soft rock. 😂❤
What bridge pickup you use
Seymor Duncan, I can't remember the model.

DIN plug?
Yes, that's the cable for the four way footswitch: clean voice / channel / reverb / effects loop.
