    Is this one of the Fender amps that is considered to have a lot of “Touch Sensitivity”?

    I bought mine used about 4 years ago.It is one of the best amps made at the time ,in my opinion . It is my keeper.Love it much but it is hard to find any information on it.I’m glad to have found your site. It is nice to have a quality but  sort of rare amp.

      i have  owned two of these amps, still have one. they are a spin-off of the 1982-87 concert series amps.fender added an extra switchable gain stage on channel two, on the super pro series. you can contact fender and they will e-mail a schematic on just about any fender amp that you cannot get information on. these amps sound good with J/J power and preamp tubes. hope the info was helpful. ENJOY.

    I just got one of these yesterday. Its mint and sat in a bedroom for 17 years. Tags still on it! The drive channels are very mild, but I got it for the cleans. I may try an overdrive pedal today in fx loop. I plan to find a nice blues sound with it, it shouldnt be too hard. I plan to swap the overdrive tube with a tungsol, which should be a little dirtier than the original. This should be a good starting point.
    I played it for about 5 minutes when I brought it home. Im impressed. I’ll be trying different guitars tonight, a les paul, a vintage sg, an esp viper, a esp ltd horizon, and a george lynch flame baritone. Seymour Duncan and Dimarzios throughout.

      I purchased  this amp last week. played a gig last night. fantastic powerful amp. real nice fender tones. Distortion needs some some help. you mentioned changing the tubes for the overdrive. did you notice any improvment, and what tubes did you install. Way to many tubes to choose from. I am not up to starting a collection.

    I have a 1995 edition of the Super Amp and have used it for recording and live performance. It is one of the cleanest, deepest and chimey sounding Fenders I have heard from the reissue stable of hand-wired, tube amps. It can sound nice and dirty too.  I must say I really don’t like their solid state amps with “modeling” as they tend to sound “dry” and “brittle” to my ears. In contrast, this Super Amp (with Reverb, channel switching and master volume controls) is more versitile and useful in a variety of playing situations (quiet jazzy, digging into the blues like Robben Ford or Larry Carlton, or something in-between). Compared with later Fender Super Reverb amps that they have reissued in the past few years…this is better sounding in my opinion. Thanks for reading…Peace.

    I have been looking for a Fender amp to gig out with, and now I have finally found it.

    This Super Amp has got the volume and versatility for the country, blues, and southern rock that I play.

    Each of its three channels has something different and good sounding to offer. Even though it has a solid state rectifier, I am amazed at how similar the basic clean channel sounds, compared to my old Deluxe Reverb and Bandmaster Reverb, which both have tube rectifiers.Sounds great with a Strat or an SG. The low end with a 335 or Les Paul needs a little rolling off. Haven’t tried the Tele yet.

    The two over drive channels step it up a notch with very interesting overtones. The footswitch makes channel switching a breeze, and I just love the sound of the 4 x 10′s.

    While it is certainly no vintage mid 60′s era Blackfaced Super Reverb,with all of its great tone…for the money, this is an excellent value, with versatility between, Fender clean and their take on two different overdrive voicings.

    With some tweaking, and upgrading the tubes, this is a very fine sounding amplifier, with plenty of power and projection.

      I have one of these amps, and would like to upgrade the tubes do some tweaking.
      Could you help or pass on any recommendations?

      Thank you.
