What an Amp!! Wow!

This is the sweetest amp I have ever owned. The warm tube tone this amp produces is second to none. You can achieve the cleanest of clean tones to the beautiful burner channel that makes the amp the perfect choice for me. It is exactly what I was looking for in an amp.

Fantastic Little Amp!

I was looking for a "kicking around amp" that I could take to rehearsal and sit in gigs. I have never been a fan of combo amps, but in this case I was looking for something that would be easy to transport and not break my back. When the Sonic 22 showed up, I was very pleased with the size and weight, as well as how well it was made. I plugged in my custom shop Strat, with noiseless… read more pickups, and took it for a test drive. Sitting everything flat, with modest volume I was blown away with the clean channel. Loud, clean, warm, and nicely compressed. This was more of a Plexi sound than a typical Twin sound, and it did not hurt. I am still mixed between the Normal and Fat option, they both sound great, I just not have settled on a favorite. The burn channel sounds fantastic and is extremely versatile. There are lots of options with the two gain knobs. The gain is not over the top, but there is enough there to satisfy most everyone. The note definition is there, no matter the gain. I tend to run a higher gain and roll the volume back on my guitar to clean it up a bit until I need that extra crunch. Speaking of crunch, the compression on this amp is so sweet, I have found myself wanting to use less distortion. I have a great sound and the notes and strings are not getting lost in the distortion. I am digging it! The reverb is reverb. Warm and springy. I am not a huge fan of spring reverb but for those that are will not be disappointed. I just find the length of decay to be too long, but that is just me. After playing on this amp for a while, I forgot I was playing a combo amp, much less a 22 watt, single 12, open back amp. More than enough volume for almost any gig. I bought this for a practice amp, but now I think it will become my main amp. In fact I am thinking about getting a second one so I can run in stereo. I am sold! Well done Fender!

Finally found what I've been looking for

I've owned so many different amps throughout the years that I would be typing all day if I listed them. And I can honestly say that my Fender Supersonic 22 is my favorite. It's got the 3 dimensional, warm, room filling clean sound of an old Deluxe. Then you switch over to the dirty channel and you get lost in all the amazing sounds you can get from this thing. From light breakup… read more to seriously heavy gain. No matter how much gain you use it retains note clarity and definition. I usually play with light to medium gain, and this amp absolutely SINGS at that level. I just played another show with it tonight, with a loud, aggressive drummer and it has absolutely no problem at all keeping up in terms of volume. I had PLENTY of room left that I could have cranked it on up. This thing is louder than you ever, realistically need and the clean channel stays clean when you get it up to ridiculously loud volume. The reverb is what you expect from an old classic Fender, it sounds the way a real spring reverb is supposed to sound. The amp sounds so good and is so versatile I don't even use pedals anymore. Just my G&L Comanche straight into my Supersonic 22. And I could not be happier with my tone... I love this amp and recommend it very highly. And if you're wondering about it shipping safely, do not worry. Sweetwater has packing amps down to a science. I am very impressed with Sweetwater and plan to be a repeat customer.
