Underrated all-tube amp

The Fender Super 112 is one in a family of "Red Knob" ("RK" for short) amps that Fender released in the early 1990s. It is a 2-channel, 60W amp with 1 12AT7 and 2 12AX7 tubes in the pre-amp and 2 6L6-GC tubes in the power section. An optional footswitch can be used to toggle between the clean and high-gain channels. It comes standard with one 12" Fender speaker (OEMed from Jensen), and a true spring reverb. It has an effects loop and dual instrument inputs. When used alone, input #2 provides a cut of 6dB. With 3-band EQ, reverb and presence controls, the tonal possibilities are expansive. An external speaker out allows the connection of an 8 ohm or 16 ohm extension cabinet for even bigger sound.

Although not as famous as Fender's "Reverb" amps (Deluxe Reverb/Princeton Reverb/Vibrolux Reverb/Super Reverb/etc.), and plagued by a wacky volume control (0 is off, 1 is ear-splitting loud) with an anemic high-gain channel, the RK Super amps are often considered the "red-knobbed stepchild" of Fender amp royalty--except to those lucky few who own them.

The "Super" family of RK amps (Super 60/112/210 combos and the 60 head & 60 rackmount head) deliver a crispy and bright clean tone that rivals anything Fender has every produced, with clarity and headroom easily surpassing that found in many of the more popular models. The high-gain channel is also more useful than it is given credit for--unsatisfactory tone is more often than not operator error (the somewhat unique behavior of the EQ and presence knobs in particular seem to baffle a lot of folks). But the issue is rendered almost meaningless to anyone (almost everyone?) with their own OD/distortion/fuzz pedals, as the RK Super amps are excellent pedal platforms. In short, for the discerning musician pursuing vintage tube-amp goodness or pristine "Fender cleans" on a budget, the entire Fender RK Super line is a hidden gem.

there are a lot more RK amps than those three you listed and all of them have a taste of blackface in the clean channel., but are kinda their own thing... some have better gain channels than your Super, but we're still judging by 80s standards... I believe most of them were designed by Paul Rivera (and ones that weren't were based on his work) before he shot out on his own so for guys who like the Rivera clean they are a good deal

You are right, I misspoke--there are quite a few more RK amps. I meant to confine my comments specifically to the "Super" family of RK amps. I will clarify my review. Thanks for your constructive comments.

On a side note, although the "RK" amps are commonly thought to have been designed/inspired by Rivera, that does not appear to be the case. The actual designer of the "Super" RKs, Mark Wentling, has provided some fairly detailed history. For those interested, much of it is available in this thread: http://www.tdpri.com/threads/fender-super-60-112-210-owners.200003/

really? the common wisdom since the 90s was that Rivera did them.... the red knob showman is remarkably Rivera-esque

wow, I learn something new every day! thanks
