Great Classic
Superb clean and crunch tone, which can be controlled by the volume knob of your guitar.
Takes boosters very well, however due to its distinct tones not all overdrive pedals work well with this amp. The general sound of the amp will allways be present due to the easy breakup of the amp (especially compared with my Twin). However I like it very much.

Get your Ya Ya´s out - 70thies rock amp and more
Great Stones and Doors tone, but you can get nice jazzy sounds if you dial back the gain. Rare. You get the SVT sound but at a lower volume. I use it for recording purposes mostly with a Mesa Cabclone.

Great Fuzz and Distortion Box - Neil Young and more
If you like Neil Young, this is the best way to get his sound with a lot of sag. But pedal is not limited to that. You get a lot of fuzz types as well as some crazy stuff.

Good clone but ....
Soundwise it is a good clone of the MXR Phase 90. It has a warm tone and also has a mini toggle switch for vintage MXR tones and more phasing tones as well. However, at least mine features also a volume drop. It is not significant, but noticable - therefore only 3 stars.

Great clean sounds - huge volume differences
This amp has an incredible clean sound - on par with a Twin if not better. However, it has also a drive channel which shares the equalization with the clean channel. The drive channel´s sound is on an OK level, it is useable but not subperb.
However what annoyed me, is the fact that the volume difference between the two channels is too big. As I a result, I sold it. Later I found out there are possiblities to mod the amp to get this solved.
If you are looking for a great clean sound - get one. Pricewise the amp is a still a sleeper so you can get a great clean sound for 300 - 400 Euros.

you don't see too many of these, if you just need a clean fender sound in a rack or you're willing to mod her to balance the volume like certain mesas and the split channel 800s of the era? you should keep her. its a sleeper, sure, but they also are not common and if you like it, there's nothing else quite like it in fender history, not even the other red knob circuits.

Just ordered this Fender Super 60 rack head from Guitar Center for $250 plus $50 tax, shipping and handling. They show up occasionally on Reverb for about $300. I have had a Super 60 112 combo for 30 years and recently it started turning off after about 20 minutes then just died. Tubes are good so I figured the preamp is fried, although the power amp section still works. I was playing through a zoom g9.2tt guitar effects console plugged into the power amp section, which wasn't bad, but I really missed the sound of the fender combo clean channel with a Zcat tremolo pedal. When I saw the rack head I ordered it. Looking forward to see how it sounds through the 112 Fender speaker and also through a 210 speaker setup. Will have to make up a speaker cable with a male plug for the amp and two slider connections to connect the head directly to the Fender 112 speaker.

I have also used the Super 60 as a Power amp only using an Engel 520 preamp. Sound was quite nice. This setup avoided the volume difference of the two channels.

Gritty sound
This pedal delivers a nice gritty - fuzzy sound, It also can be used as a Treble Booster. I like it a lot, but it can get a tad noisy at higher settings. Recommendable.

Great pedal with good dynamics
With this pedal you can get the famous Dumble sound and much more. I sold it due to the fact, that I have a Herminda Zendrive, so there was some overlapping territory. However, I regret it.

great flanger
Great Mistress clone. However you loose a bit of volume when the pedal is engaged.

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.

Great Boss tones in a small package
Vintage multi effect unit with no presets, no banks, no menu, dates back to ca. 1989/90. Even if the housing is plastic, no problem - the plastic is stable. All effects are exceptionally good. The chorus sounds very lush and warm also the delay. The os 2 can be set from mild to full on distortion.
Contains following Boss pedals: Compression Sustainer - CS-3 Overdrive/Distortion - OS-2 Digital Delay - early version of the DD-3 Chorus - CE-3

I had no idea Boss made their version of that giant, all analog Ibanez multi-effect from the 9 series... this is very cool. I sued to have an OS2 and its easily Boss' most underrated dirt box. I always enjoyed that thing. Wish I ahd looked inside her, come to think of it now.

These are not easy to find. However they have a version where you can store settings (but mostly still analoge).

Best of all worlds
This guitar can give you everything from a jazzy tone to a tele twang. No wonder, as it is has features from a lot of classics. The guitar is a double-cutaway thinline tele with a glued in neck. The bridge is like a Les Paul bridge, Pickups are Seymour Duncan P-90s.
The sustain is great, tone just stays! Get one if you can (there are only 700 around).
