Fender · amplifier
The Fender Super-Sonic 22 head is a 22-watt all-tube 2-channel guitar amplifier from Fender. Two independent channels — Vintage and Burn — cover vintage American Fender clean tone and modern high-gain saturation from a single amp head using EL84 output tubes. The Super-Sonic 22 is unusual in the Fender line for combining the brand vintage clean character with a genuinely high-gain second channel.
