i just bought new Fender Super Sonic, and have some issues with and amp,
First of the amp sound good, but been and amp tinkerer i found some tone sucking problems with it, first of the reverb never shuts down, it still bleeds through even though the reverb volume is at its off position. I decided to Mod, it by installing the switch that will automatically shuts it down and bypasses it, Problem solved. Second, the amps allows you to bias it for 6l6 but you can use a a 6v6 in it, and have lower volume amp if you want to achieve it you need to install another switch that will allow you to set a range for a different bias settings. After doing all these mods i found that i was missing the presence control, since the amp has it set permantently, i modded it again for a vaiable pot, so i can adjust the feedback look just like marshalls or bassman, and i replaced all the Illinois Caps in powe supply with TVA Attoms, by Sprague, Just because i Hate Illinois Cap elecrolytics,
over all to me amp became more useful . I love the tone and the whole package, At the same time i clipped all the Diodes on Pcb, from power tubes, i understand that they provide safety margins for power tubes but in my opinion lack of diodes improves the tone, I think if you own such an amp, they are cheap on ebay, that where i got mine from, such mods will give you a great packaged amplifer/
