I've had a Fender Super Sonic 60 1x12 for a few month now. I love the tones and the features of this amp. Its a bit heavy to lug around all the time, but my only "real" concern with this amp is the white noise. Even when I have nothing plugged into it, there is a persistent hiss. Sort of like a radio tape player when its up really loud, but no tracks are playing through it. From what I read, its an everyday occurance with the Supersonic series, that's why Fender recently was re-working the production of these models.. Are there any mod's available to quiet it down a bit when I'm not cranking on it?

Tamed the Hiss by using a 12AU7 preamp tube in the Phase Inverter position. No mod needed. You may have to try a few tubes before you find one that "tames" the Hiss.

Did not notice any affect on my overall tone as well.

Amp set to: Bassman Ch Vol 3 / Gain Ch G1-7, G2-7, Vol 5
