Fender Supersonic incoming

[AFKAEjay(retired)]

I had itch for a classic fender amp..so I was shopping for a drri..planning to mod it woth a loop cause I can’t go without one….when I spotted the Supersonic.
I never looked into that model untill now.
Clean channel probably a lot like the drri, but with a (promising) fat switch added, the drive channel sounds very promising on YT stuff…and its got an efx loop.
Drri chassis and powersection…I got a really good feeling about this.

Picking it up tommorow morning…

Pretty affordable on the used market compared to drri also btw

A buddy of mine gigs with a SuperSonic 22. Loves it. Has for years. Plays a good variety of blues and rock on it. I’d love to get a SS 60 or Prosonic myself.

I kinda want to try a Machete as well.

For some reason the 60 doesn’t get the same amount of praise on “the internet”…whatever that’s worth

Did you get the 60 then? Or the 22?

Nice!!! I've always thought these looked cool. Surprised they aren't a bit more common.... heaven forbid fender puts out an amp with decent sounding drive channel I guess

Always wanted to try a Supersonic myself.....the Prosonic is one of my favorite amps ever yet built

I’ve played the 60 combo with a V30. I liked it. Cleans were Fender cleans albeit with the Celestion speaker. The drive channel was sweet. The dual cascaded gains was kinda like a more unruly Mark amp with its tone controls moved to post gain stages. More effective and not needing a GEQ as much. Not sure if this is similar to the Mesa DC series but all the same it was a killer amp. I’d love a SS60 head. I know what the internet says but I also know what I played.

I always wanted to try out a SS. I haven’t played one but owned 3 ProSonics. Really liked them.

Yeah my friend raves about his 22 which he’s run wet/dry with his Blackjack 21. Loves both. You got a great amp.
