I just bought a used Fender Super Amp (93-95 pro tube series) and I love it :) It's my first tube amp! Just wondering if anyone else here has one of these and what they think of it.

Ah yes, a sleeper deal if you can find them. I have the '93 concert amp, which is the 1-12 version of the super. (and lighter too) I watched many people walk past this amp because they had no idea what it was, nor did the salesmen, so I took advantage. This was Fender's 2nd failed attempt at a Boogie. (the latest being the much more successful supersonic) The drive tones just didn't cut it, but the clean ch. is classic blackface tone on steriods, and takes pedals well. It also has the much better sounding transformer coupled reverb, that doesn't wash out when you go past 4 on the knob. The stock emience speaker was hurting the drive ch. on this amp. I installed a vintage 30, changed the tubes, and the amp came to life. Both drive modes sound good now. Many people favor the early 80's rivera era version of these, because they were the last handwired Fenders up until the Vibro-King in '93. My amp has a serial # starting with LO. This stands for Lake Oswego, which was the old Sunn plant. Amps from this long gone factory were of higher quality than any current fender amps made today IMOP. Anyway, it's a great overlooked amp that is getting looks when people hear it. Enjoy your amp.......barryg
