speakers.
The new Super-Sonic 100 Head and Super-Sonic
Twin contain several sonically versatile new
features:
I New Arena/Club switch takes the power down to 25 watts
to preserve its great high-volume tube tone at lower club gig
volume levels.
I Notch Tune control moves the midrange notch and lets
you ne-tune the distortion characteristics for a variety of
American and British amp sounds.
I New rear-panel damping control lets you choose Normal,
Loose or Tight speaker response for sounds ranging
from warm and loose to tight and focused.
I Fender Automatic Bias control lets you easily set the output
tubes to the recommended factory setting and to your
preference of hotter or cooler bias, with no meters or
tools required. Bias adjustment is not only good for tube life,
but also for tone for example, a hotter bias/loose speaker
damping combination is great for blues; a cooler bias/tight
speaker damping combination is great for metal and jazz.
Other features include:
I Vintage channel for shimmering clean tone derived from
Fender Twin Reverb

and Showman

amps, or the thick and

punchy sound of a 1960s-era Bassman

amp.
I Burn channel for edgy breakup and distortion with variable
compression, thickness and sustain.

Fenders a great partner
they make classic guitars and
ampliers that stand the test
of time. Weve got a bunch of
Super-Sonic amps out with us,
and now I cant imagine ever
playing without them.

Roses are red, violets are blue, if it werent for Fender
what would we do? Fender started with rock n roll
and continues to grow each year, becoming more
modern but keeping its soul. The Fender Super-Sonic
truly is sonically super, so its not just a clever name.

My rst tube amp was a DeVille 4x10. I outgrew it in
favor of boutique heads, British amps and half stacks.
When our trailer and all of our gear was stolen, it was
back to the drawing board; time to re-think everything.
When I red up the Super-Sonic Twin, I couldnt
believe what I was hearing. This is a true by-the-book
tone monster, and the only amp to have enough
subtleties to be able to dial in my tone. My rst amp
was a Fender, and now my last one will be, too.

The Super-Sonic Twin is not a utility inelder. Its like
having three Derek Jeters without the price tag. This
amp is not a one-trick pony; its more like six one-trick
ponies. I didnt believe it until I played it, either. This
amp rips. It sings. It loves pedals. It barks, punches,
shimmers and sparkles without being harsh or brittle.
Oh, and its got Vintage 30s. For the rst time,
versatility truly meets quality.

Fender Super-Sonic amps have become
a vital part of our live show and recording
process. We can get a beautiful array of clean
tones, vintage low gains, and an overdrive
that will kick you straight in the teeth. This amp
is a classic; marveled and talked about on
every tour weve taken them on. Oh, and did
we mention the sex appeal?

The great thing about the Fender Super-Sonic amps is that
theyre as American as apple pie and Mickey Mouse, and
they give us a killer sound that everyone can enjoy! The
Super-Sonic combos we use are truly mind blowing. All of the
ne tunings of a classic Fender combo, but with the all of the
mind-blowing modern tones and looks that nothing compares
to. Thank you, Fender!
