Captain Osvaldo « Amazing Fender Amp »
Published on 12/03/12 at 02:53100W tube amp
• selector Arena / Club decreasing its power to 25 watts (to preserve its performance and grain at a reasonable volume);
• control "Notch Tune" to vary the range of mid frequencies to adjust the types of saturated unwanted sounds (American and English);
• control "damping", located on the rear panel, it allows you to adjust the response of speakers with three positions "normal," "loose" or "tight" as the type of game, music or sound you practiced;
• Fender controllable automatic bias can easily adjust the output power of the lamps according to the standards of factory setting or use your own settings for a warmer or colder without resorting to excessive tooling.
Among other features you will find: A vintage channel for clean sounds brilliant (from circuit amps Fender Twin Reverb ® and Showman ®) or thick and powerful sounds (from the circuits of the 1960 Bassman ®); saturated channel with two cascading gain to vary the compression level and thicken your sound while keeping much sustain, two speakers 12 "Celestion ® Vintage 30, a Fender Reverb lamp with long springs and a loop effects with level control (can also be used to boost) and a custom power Schumacher. Cover and four button footswitch included.
UTILIZATION
The configuration is simple.
A clear channel with the choice between a sound very close to the Twin Reverb, Bassman the other more focused.
The sounds are great, defined and precise.
Saturated channel is very versatile and very surprising for a Fender amp.
However I use a Vox Duel Overdrive pedal (lamp) to manage my overdrive sounds while remaining on the clean channel, it works wonderfully.
Easily obtained a good sound, however the possibilities are quite numerous settings, you can tweak to get his own SON.
SOUNDS
I have a JCM 800 80s with distorted sounds are no longer boast.
We rehearse at Studio Luna Rossa in Paris, this is where I discovered this Super Sonic.
Since I neglected my Gibson 135 in favor of a Telecaster, I missed a tool to exploit the Fender clean tones that excels.
A Telecaster on this amp is the perfect marriage.
Had to find and crunch sounds that are not saturated the highlight of Fender in general.
Super Sonic meets this need. It delivers consistent and saturations less raw than Marshall or Vox.
Our set is very diverse in terms of tone colors (Rock, Electric Blues, Funk, basically sounds inherited from the late 60s to the late 70s - Atmospheres ZZ Top, Hendrix, Fabulous Thunderbirds, Nine Below Zero etc..), this amp gives me sounds very varied and always believable.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a year.
Apart from my JCM 800, I tried almost the entire range of Fender amps (Twin Reverb, excellent but demanding, Blues Deluxe, a little "soft" for my taste, Bassman 59, a bit "stiff" to play for me , Hot Rod Deluxe, a bit messy) Super Sonic is accurate without requiring dexterity of a studio guitarist.
Being mainly a singer, I needed an amp that forgives the lack of attention inherent in the fact of singing at the same time I do rhythms.
It remains an expensive amp (1600 euros at Thomann 100W version), however it may well become a benchmark for years to come.
