Fender Super-Sonic 100 Head and Twin Combo Owners Manual - Page 6

Super-Sonic™ Twin / Super-Sonic™ 100 Head Super Sonic amplifiers are designed for guitarists who want to create unmistakable Fender clean tones and expressive modern highgain tones...with one no-nonsense tube amp. The VINTAGE channel delivers tones based on legendary Fender favorites, and the BURN channel ignites musical inspiration with overdrive flavors from bluesy to flame-throwing. The Super-Sonic amp is capable of modern highgain overdrive and sustain, but these characteristics can be fine tuned without masking the tonal character of YOUR guitar. The Super-Sonic Twin and 100 Head also contain impressive extras like Arena/Club switch, Damping control, and all-new Fender Automatic Bias control. Features include: • 100 Watts from four 6L6 output tubes • ARENA/CLUB switch provides selectable 100 Watt or 25 Watt output • Seven 12AX7 preamp tubes & two 12AT7 tubes • VINTAGE channel contains pre-gain tone controls and two different switchable voices: • Shimmering clean tone derived from vintage Fender Twin Reverb® and Showman® amplifiers • Fat, punchy tone reminiscent of 1960s Bassman® amplifiers • Pre and Master Volume controls can be set for pure clean or slightly overdriven tones • BURN channel allows tonal experimentation with post-gain EQ and two-stage cascading preamp controls: • GAIN 1 provides edgy breakup and distortion • GAIN 2 adds compression, thickness, and sustain • NOTCH TUNE lets you move the midrange notch for a variety of American and British flavors • Tube-driven Fender long-spring Reverb by Accutronics® • Professional FX loop with level control; may also be used as a footswitchable boost • Choice of classic Black/Silver or iconic 1961 Blonde/Oxblood cosmetic treatment • Cover and 4-button pedalboard-friendly footswitch included • 5-year limited transferable warranty (US and Canada; other territories may vary) • Fender Automatic Bias (patent pending) lets you easily set your output tubes to the recommended factory setting without meter or tools.
