awel Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I have a Fender Supersonic 22 combo at home, and that I will perhaps buy. I have a Fender Deville Michael Landau that I like but it is 60W and I was never able to put it on more than 2!!! So I want an amp that I can push a bit to get this natural tubes light overdrive This supersonic sound nice to my ears. Does anyone has or has had one? What do you think about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 They're really nice amps. One of the best modern Fender designs out there. It has that nice Fender clean channel and a mean ol' drive channel. The gain channel can be a little bit noisy but nothing too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I believe farnsbarns has one which he raves about aside from the fact that he also says it's a bit noisy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 My favourite amps at the moment. Did anyone mention they can be a bit noisey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awel Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 My favourite amps at the moment. Did anyone mention they can be a bit noisey? More than a HotRod deluxe or Deville? What do you mean by noisey? To point that is annoying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I've played one, at my dealer's store. It was a Great sounding amp! VERY TEMPTING! The "noise" may be the overdrive circuit/channel, more than the "clean" channel? Much like an OD pedal will often add a bit of "noise" to and otherwise clean signal. However, the Supersonic 22, that I demoed, didn't seem overly "noisy." But, your experiences may differ? CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Scales Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Unless you must have a twin, please do also try the Blues Deluxe reissue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awel Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Unless you must have a twin, please do also try the Blues Deluxe reissue. I already have one, but like I said at the beginning of this post, I really love my Deville Michael Landau, the problem is his 60W, I have to set the Volume between 2 and 2.3 (knowing that 2 you have no sound at all and 2.4 you have all the loudness), 3 is unusable as I will only hear myself when playing not the band anymore. sadly this is why I am thinking about alternative amp, or does anyone have a solution to enjoy valves sound without being def with a 60W fender amp? Attenuator? I have used a Palmer one and I found it cut trebles from the original sound So don't know what to do, I was thinking about a plexiglass wall in front of the amp but not sure it is efficient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Farnsbarns Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hiss mainly. Seems to come from reverb circuit. Also some low level hum from gain channel. Doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I just thought that as the Blues Deluxe is only 40w and 1x12 with master it might have fitted your needs, and it takes drive pedals well with a less aggressive approach than perhaps a Supersonic (at least as an alternative to consider) - they look great in tweed too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you talking about aggessive approach about the supersonic? I have tested it and I have noticed that it is more treble than my deville but I will not say more agressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tested it and I have noticed that it is more treble than my deville but I will not say more agressive I'm not. Simply saying that in my experience the BD doesn't seem to offer the aggressive/hot/high gain - choose whatever word you like - option that you can extract from the Burn channel of a SS (going from some demos of the SS) therefore that might be a consideration one way or the other. Anyway, whatever, it's not my money you're spending - I was just just offering alternatives, not dissing your amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if you find my post aggressive, not my intention :unsure: I apologies for that thank you to share your experience with me. like I said I already had a blues deluxe reissue, and I liked it a lot as well but honestly from my experience Fender amps are really loud (more than modern Marshall, DSL, TSL, ...) and with 40W I will have to set it on 3. and I really want to use Valves smooth natural OD. I don't think, if I decide to buy the Supersonic, I will use the burn channel, but use the clean that breaks up a bit with my OD pedal to had a bit of sustain.

rct Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I used 2 Prosonics for about 15 years, my main one was Zinky chassis, built in Lake Oswego. They were what the Super-Sonic was before it became the Super-Sonic. Cascading gains like a Mesa. If you are careful with the gains and realize that they work with the master very well, you could put a couple speakers under one of these Super-Sonics and gig the rest of yer days with it. I sold my gigging amps few years ago, but if I was looking to use a tube amp with no pedals again, it'd be one of these for sure. Noisy yes, but tolerable. I had some work done on it and cut the noise considerably, I would assume these Supers are the same ideas. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
