Fender Supersonic 22
I have 2 of these. It takes pedals like a dream. Has a Twins cleans and a bass mans dirt. The remote footswitch is the only lame thing about this amp.

Nice, but ....
I liked the clean sound with or/without the fat boost, but I could not bond with the burn channel. Even tried to swap speakes, but no improvement. Also a tad noisy so I sold it.
Looking backwards, I should have picked a Deluxe Reverb straight away and add an external boost pedal.

Classic fender, and gain tones in one box.
My only issue is it hates power most anywhere. So she purrs loud, and I had to subsequently get a power conditioner. Other than that great fender cleans, to more modern sounding Marshall gain tones.

Does everything
Clean to crunchy and back again. It's way too good for a bass player to have as a mess around guitar amp....!

Wow. Juicy tone on both clean and overdrive channels
If it had a line out, it would have everything I need. Despite that, I'm still very happy with it

Great Amp
It does have the common hissing sound, however this is only when the distortion is engaged. It is an absolute dream when played clean.

if you don't play the gain channel with all the knobs cranked for maximum sludge then try gauging all the tubes in the gain channel down a bit from 12ax7 types to 12at7es or 12ay7es to tame the upper end f the gain spectrum and hopefully reduce hiss (some of the hiss is cheap parts though, but amplifying it a little less will be helpful)

loud and versatile!
the clean channel on this will give you pretty convincing classic Deluxe reverb sounds, and the dirty channel is surprisingly usable. this amp is also VERY loud for 22 watts, i play in a very loud rock band and i never have to put it past 3. its not heavy too, which is clutch.

that's not a very loud rock band then.... I played in some very loud rock abnds and we were talking marshall stacks at 10.
My Main Playing Out Amp
I have had this amp over a year now and it has treated me well. It is a solid build and handles gigs very well. I'm a big fan of the Blackface Deluxe sound and wind up using the clean channel mostly with pedals. I replaced the stock speaker with a Tone Tubby Red Alnico recently and it really opens this amp up!!!

Description
One Eminence speaker belts out high-gain crunch, and fatter bass tone in this killer 22-watt combo.
For all the lovers of that notorious Fender tube-driven sound, the company rolls out the Super-Sonic 22 22W 1x12 tube combo, pushing your guitar tone into meaty guitar-shred heaven.
The Fender Super-Sonic 22 amp offers 22 watts of guitar power, for punishing distorted sound with more dedicated tone and bass frequency. With two channels and a handful of stellar tubes, your guitar tone will instantly be taken to new heights of sound barrier-shaking guitar tone.
The Fender Super-Sonic 22 delivers this versatility with the organic feel and moderate output power of the legendary Deluxe Reverb amp, perfect for most stage and studio applications. The Vintage channel on the tube amp delivers pure, unmistakable Fender tone, and the awesome Burn channel ignites musical inspiration with overdrive flavors ranging from bluesy to flame-throwing. And while the Fender Super-Sonic 22 is capable of heavily saturated tube distortion and sustain, it never masks the tonal character of your guitar. Offered in classic Black/Silver or iconic 1961 Blonde/Oxblood cosmetic treatment; both Fender amp versions include ivory "radio" knobs and flowing 1960s script logo.

Bad luck with this one
I've had that amp but with the "hiss issue" Returned it the next day since I've realized that every one of 5 is a bad apple. Very loud for home. Probably very suitable for live gigs.
15 to 30 watts is way louder than people think.
of course. Even just one wat can be loud as hell, it all depends..
