Fender Super-Sonic 22 Combo Review

Vintage Guitar’s October 2010 issue features a review of Fender's new Super-Sonic 22 Combo amp and includes more than a few glowing adjectives: killer, knob-tweaking euphoria and stand-out.

“Keeping a traditional appearance, the amp is something of a sleeper hot rod,” writes Sean O’Bryan Smith. “It has the look of a Deluxe and vintage styling touches like cream-colored knobs. But underneath is a roaring pile of combustible fury.”

So pick up Vintage Guitar, flip to page 146 and find out everything you need to know about Fender's newest amp.

Here's a video of Stan Cotey playing a Jackson Slat-3 seven-string guitar, in Standard tuning with low "B" string, with the bridge position EMG 81 pickup engaged. Even with this much preamp gain on the Super-Sonic 22, you can still hear every note distinctly, and hear the strings within each chord. There are no effects, and the amp's reverb is turned down to enhance the tightness of the distorted rhythms:
