I just purchased the Super Sonic Amp after too many visits to too many stores. I was looking for to much I thought. Great tone. Great gain. Great everything. Keep in mind that money was no object. God has been good to me lately. I have played for all my life. I was signed to a major label in the 80's so I like to think I am above average in playing and listening. Not the greatest. ( gosh these kids are so good these days) You get the piont.
Well I am here to tell the world that Fender has a huge problem. How do they let the whole Guitar playing community know they built the best amp ever built. Quit your job. You won't leave your home after turning this on. Who ever designed this just made the best amp ever. Pure Fender tones. Yes tones. 2 different God like chanels. Top that with a crunch and gain the Marshall designers only dream of. I played all the great Marshal tube amps. Sure they are great when not on fire. Even then, they miss this great tone and note distinction.Very huge. No blurred chords with super gain. How did they do that? Glad they did.
Bottom line here everyone. Go play this very special amp, Then buy this underrated gem. From Dimeola to Zak, then to Methena then over to Page and Slash .Then to me and you. The best darn piece of gear I have ever owned. Period. Money can't buy better. I bought the 112 combo for a steal compared to others at this level. Lets see. $1199 vs $2500. No brainer. Get a Stat with this and still have money left. Go play this amp!!!

I love my SuperSonic.

Tell me, who of the current players do you think is that good?

I've got one and couldn't agree more. My first amp was a BF Deluxe back in high school in the 60's - many since then. This Supersonic combo does it all and then some. I appreciate the vintage stuff - owned a 62 Strat along with that BFD, finally cashed it in a little while ago - but I believe Fender is making the best instruments they ever have these days, guitars and amps. I'm playing a fairly new Tele a lot these days and the SS really gives me everything, really much more than any of that old, sweet stuff.

Well that's one 'helluvan' endorsement! Used to play a '58 Strat through a '61 Concert many years ago. Traded the amp in for the first Line 6 AxSys cause I wanted something more contemporary. Now looking to go more retro and I thought the mix of that Bassman circuit (which the Concert was built on) and the other was an interesting thought. Thanks for the heads up.

If you are not a salesman you could be. You have sold me. It's comparable to to buying the head with a speaker and the ability to add on whatever speaker system one may desire. I hope that is the norm, quality speaking, it sounds great.

I recently bought the Super-Sonic Head and 2x12 V30 cabinet. One of the best amps I have ever owned. It's not gonna do all tones exactly, but what it does do, it does quite excellent. I actually only use the Burn channel with both gains around 6 or 7, and turn my guitars volume down to go clean. Then for the most killer overdriven tones, I use a Rangemaster, EQ or Overdrive pedal to kick "Burn" into "Meltdown". :)

I've got exactly the same rig. I just had to have the head and cab version (I was originally going to get a Orange cab or something with greenbacks but the fender cab looked too sweet).

I use the Burn channel in much the same way, but I use a tubescreamer to push it over the limit. I have a keeley modded BD-2 for clean break up.

I think the only thing that would have made the Supersonic better would be 2 gain channels.

(AND A GOD DAMN REVERB IN THE HEAD VERSION!!!)

Got mine not long ago - a head and 2x12 cab. I just love it. I've been playing for 40 years, and professionally for 30, so I know a thing or two about tone.

I also have terminal amp GAS because the styles of music I play have changed often over the years. I've played Marshall (Plexi\JMPs and JCMs), Hiwatt (Custom 100), Mesa/Boogie (Mark and Caliber series), Fender (62 Super, a few different Twins, and a recent DRRI). I need an amp that can deliver glassy clean to nasty OD, and do it "on the fly" without using a tone-sucking pedal. I thought I'd cured my amp GAS when I found Line 6 about 10 or 12 years ago. I'm not knocking them - they are very versatile, and sound very close to what they're modelling - especially in the mix - but after a while, I missed the "mojo" only available in a real tube amp. I bought the DRRI, and it's great, but it's not the right amp for me right now.

Having bought the Super Sonic, I think I've found the best of all possible worlds. I think terrycurtin is right about it being the best amp ever - the tones are rich and creamy, with just the right edge. This gives me everything from jazz and country clean to classic rock crunch, to Ozzy . This one's a keeper.

I bought my supersonic two weeks ago and I absolutely love it. I also bought my sienna sunburst strat to go along with it, and it was a match made in heaven. Fender is pure tone. :D
