Hello, I recently purchased a Fender super Sonic 1x12, and have noticed that a high volumes the distortion on both the clean and burn channels is very harsh, sounds like "digtal clipping" or high pitched crackling. Example-shhhhkshsksk. Is this common, I use am deluxe tele, any suggestions , my 30-day return is up in about a week

I have one, but I've only had it for a week now. I don't have those problems that you described. Unless it's an issue with your guitar, effects, or cable(s),.... I don't know. I'm no tech. Is the amp still under warranty?

I had mine for over 18 months now and never had that problem; however, based on what you described, it sounds like a bad tube to me. The pre-amp tube in position V3 is used exclusively for the gain channel - try changing that one to see if it will make a difference. if you don`t have extra pre-amp 12AX7, try swapping it for V2 - used for the vintage channel only. Keep us posted on how you made out.

Thanks for the suggestions, i'll be bringing to the retailer on monday to have their techs look at it. The way the distortion breaks up is very unattractive, if they tell me its the way the amp is supposed to sound I will get something else in that price range, any suggestions
