Fender Super-Sonic Amp Demo by Greg Koch at GearFest

[motokev]

not a bad amp if U get one for $500

[S1T1K2012]

Good demo

[RockinB23]

I've been gigging with one of these for about 5 years now its been a hassle free great sounding amp! I won't use anything. I love it with my Gretsch TV Jones Equiped guitars!!

[Uberloinvongenchler]

That amp doesn't do a lead sound, it does a crunch sound...aggressive rhythm

[synesthesia67]

he makes that tele look real smaaaalll

[ellonysman]

its like dan akroyd selling amps...cool

[ellonysman]

telecaster looks sooo small on him...great guy for promoting gear...

[buddo1999]

Sounds like nails!! The original 59 Bassman is still the greatest amp of all time!!

[chooseyourblues]

Love Greg Koch. He makes that Tele look like a toy!

[TheTangentUK]

this cunt could sell an amp to a deaf man, he is one of fenders best assets.

[quaz18]

he did the supersonic 2 at this years gearfest!!!!! it was awesome!

[bradleyjgreen1]

he's a mountain of a man! look how small the guitar looks on him! killer player!

[scooterpiefauntleroy]

This guy could sell a fire extinguisher to a scuba diver !!

[mike31jmb]

Bar none the BEST amp demo on YouTube! lol.

[jazzmaster1948]

Only you would come back with a replie like that. Wow i would love to meet you i bet you are one amazing guy. And i guess on my part that was a stupid question

[todomusika]

Hilarious guy!! I laughed hard at 7:26!

[jazzmaster1948]

Can you use this amp for surf music

[danakerman]

@jazzmaster1948 NO YOU CAN'T. If you use this amp for surf music, it will automatically shut off, and then explode 5 seconds later. It has an internal shrapnel chamber, too, so if you play surf music on this, when it blows up on you, it will actually cut your body into pieces.....

WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN THAT YOU CAN PLAY ANY MUSIC ON ANY AMP??????

[DirtyCityMick]

@danakerman LOL! to funny dude! And you are so right!

[area859]

Wow! I've been looking at other amps such as the Cornford Mk50, Suhr Badger, Port City Pearl, Two Rock, DrZ. etc...but damn this thing sounds great! Cheers! Greg is the best!!!!

[daveshaw18]

WHERE'S THE TOP OF HIS HEAD.

[goldtopguy1]

thats it, on my way to guitar center. i'm buying one. boy i hope it doesn't do anymore demos, i might not be able to affoerd it.

[danakerman]

@goldtopguy1 The SuperSonic being made now is totally unlike this one. They changed tubes from 6L6 to 6V6, so the clean sound is modeled on the Deluxe Reverb rather than a Bassman or Vibrolux. The burn channel is still based on the ProSonic, but with the 6V6 power section, gives a tighter overdrive sound. In my opinion, a vast improvement, but I prefer the Deluxe Reverb sound to the Bassman or Vibrolux anyway.

[gweaterman]

@danakerman i like my supersonic, its the 1st run of em, but ive modded it with marshall high gain preamp tubes, a jensen jet speaker, and it sounds good now, if i change the poweramp tubes to 6v6 will it make a difference?

[danakerman]

@gweaterman 6V6 power sections sound different that 6L6 power sections. The 6V6 yields lower total wattage, lower headroom, and a tighter overdrive sound. It's like the difference between a Fender Twin (6L6), and a Fender Deluxe Reverb or Tweed Deluxe (6V6)

[TheTangentUK]

@gweaterman You should have kept it the way it was man, fender no what they r doing u know, they build these amps for a living, & they have tested every different setup in each amp, and thats why when u get it home it probable has the best setup in it, people r changing the speaker in the new hot rod deluxe to a vintage 30 ect, they stuck the Celestion in it because that's what the majority of people thought was best 4 it,

[JohnGuitarSolo]

Greg Koch guitar lessons are always the best !

Love his work over @ Guitarinstructorcom

[ozdobby]

soold!

[JohnGuitarTV]

Greg Koch !!!

Thank you for posting Premier Guitar ... Love his guitar lessons over @ Guitarinstructor

[notwaiting]

Comic Monster!

[SoundMusicVideo]

Love greg Koch 's guitar lesson's over @ Guitar Instructor

Happy Holidays

[projectno5]

is that free?

[respect43]

do you pronounce his name cock ?

[jayarch1315]

@respect43 Yeap!

[cragon25]

@respect43 yes, yes you do

[jengasfrerer]

"play the hits"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP"

[PLANETLOCUS]

he sounds like joe from family guy :)

[doveign]

@PLANETLOCUS and Penn gilette too lol

[manafest2010]

whats he playing at 3:55

[chadewatson]

i play the misses!

[arva300178]

I like the nob that says "MORE"

[ccmeme45]

Wow u think he has the guitar strap raised up high enough lol.

[permian11]

@ccmeme45 i've seen much higher, but most importantly, who gives a shit the man can rip

[jp6l6]

It's a shame the Supersonic features a Celestion V30 speaker. It sounds a lot better with an Eminence Swamp Thang.

[starassist1977]

my friend Richard, who calls me a BF (busted friend) thinks he's so cool, but wait till i get this or the vibrolux along with the '62 reissue jaguar and kick his butt. he started the gfbf foundation in my honor (thanks sensei)....but seriously, who spends a hundy each on humbuckers??

[permian11]

@starassist1977 me..

[waspy89]

I don't like how this amp sounds at all. The Tone Master that looks the same is 50x better.

[DSalois1]

Not even going to lie, i bought my supersonic based on this demo

[leozingy]

The bell bottom comment got me in stitches!

[guitarguy4991]

I put this link on a craigslist ad for my supersonic...dammit Greg you better help me sell this thing so I can pay off some debts.

[workman1990]

hey does anyone know if you can hook up the combo supersonic to the cabs like the 412 cab and it will work without it having any problems. i know it has the external speakers feature but was just wondering if you could hook up the 412 to it then.

[rjinterr]

I bought one three weeks ago and I like mine

[guitarbob58]

You know what Im saying? He SUCKS! Not a comedy show.show how to use the AMPPPPP!

[MyManDan]

i would never buy a fender super shitty

[kball69]

lol ya, koch is a bad ass all around. cool licks and attitude ^^

[djoe1961]

Went to Mr Koch's clinic last night here in Effingham and he is incredible. Great guy. Thanks Greg for stopping into Effingham.

[seth7INt]

WOW GREAT SOUND!!! LOV IT!!!

[duckss1]

less talking - more playing

[44eelz]

but why does it still have to be modeling a vibrolux and bassman? it should just have a clean and dirty channell. so instead of saying i like how that amps get that other amp's sound, you could say i like how that amp sounds with its own unique tone!?

[Strideguitar]

@44eelz the controls actually read vibrolux and bassman, that's how fender designed it. That's what the super sonic is, allegedly those two amps in one, although I'm not sure I buy it.

[44eelz]

@Strideguitar i know they should have just made it original

[Burstbuckerr]

superb presentation job! amazing!

[jharri1]

Just brought home a blonde combo an hour ago from Sam Ash! Got a great deal on it too! I guess they are clearing out!

[t0psecretshit]

girl in the biginning iis wicked cute. she barely blinks though. still cute. dude i really want this amp!

[trevordegler]

Just baught me one to go with my 52 tele.

Sounds crazy good.

[herbie747]

He sounds like Joe Swanson.

[simon4tw]

Yeah, he's soo funny...

[willcherryface]

Sold. To me.

[themorningafterAU]

oh yeh he's tall haha look at him compared to the drumkit! haha

[felipeasjardim]

this guy is amazing!!!

[AliHandal]

I wanna be Greg Koch when I grow up!!!!! He ROCKS, and so does this amp!!

[badhorsie81]

he's not funny.

[Foodie88]

Is that tele so small, or is he so round? haha ! great demo

[KrankySourPants]

@Foodie88 Yeah, is that a full scale Telecaster? It looks smaller than normal.

[TheMadMusicMan]

Greg is a giant. Around 6' 5'' or so.

[stringmanipulator]

greg koch is GREAT .. I love his crazyiness

[cooley23]

You gotta love Koch!!

[jamestp]

he speaks a language that people understand, humor and detail at the same time, his knowledge of amps and his ability to play multiple genres is why he is touring for Fender and attracting crowds. People can easily decide to go a demo where all they hear is the player . Greg is a great performer, player and he inspires, he is not locked into a single mode...

[shotgunwalter]

the comedy is irritating.....demo the amp please....

[mikeallenpugh]

Yep. I agree.......y'know what I'm sayin'..y'know what I'm sayin'..y'know what I'm sayin'..y'know what I'm sayin'..y'know what I'm sayin'..

[gorblimey61]

He dwarfs that tele!

[macaxe]

Pretty contrived sales pitch. I have this amp, the Vibro and bassman channels are amazing. He makes it sound like having only a bass and treble control is a good thing, also never demos the burn channel too long because its weak for heavier stuff even though it has more than enough gain, it's weak and loose copared to say a 5150 or mesa. That said, the burn is good for classic crunch and vintage sounding distortion. The bassman channel works great with a distortion pedal though.

[WoWandMetalFTW]

Awesome amp, why does the guitar look like its a toy compared to him lol

[lilnetty2]

you know what hes sayin'?

[prom3th]

This guy is great

[2boredfortv]

this bastard could sell an amp to a drummer.

[choobr549]

@2boredfortv --i really dig this demo--however alot of what he is showing as difference tween vibrolux and bassman is pick attack..

[NorthStarGuitar]

@choobr549 not true. try it out at guitcenter. the audio codecs in yt don't do this amp justice....

[gloconti]

@2boredfortv He could sell a drummer to a woman!

[fretworx]

@gloconti Now THAT's funny!! :D

[gloconti]

@fretworx Brah ha ha! Drummers!

[stevezee64]

@2boredfortv

Jim Marshal was (is) a drummer, and a lot of drummers can play the guitar. I'm shure, there a more drummers playing guitar than guitar players playing drums. What would Jim think about your comment? ;-)

[fzappa007]

@stevezee64 relax steve its called humor, and i bet Jim would be cracking up.

[JerryBeatFreak]

@2boredfortv He just did.....

[classicalguitarchase]

You are a nut! I love this video. This is a great amp. I have 2 boogies (S.O.B. and MK III) a 5150, an AC30 and the Supersonic combo. the tones that come out of this amp make the work of finding that area that works, real easy. It is hard to get bad sounds out of this amp. (I'm sure you could but why?)

[solerso68]

From your amp collection I can see why you love this amp. Those are all good amps and so is this one, but I dont like multiple channel amps. Why split up the Drive?Its less noisy but i like noise sometimes. it loses most of the dynamics that way. Personally i would gladly take one of the bandmaster VM's over this ( or a boogie) any day. Those amps are good for 9-5 studio guys. nothing wrong with that. Its all subjective.

[randompersonsband1]

she sounds a little retarded the way she talks but her looks make up for it.

[flin1]

I've learned NOTHING from this guy?

[sonnengott666]

I don't like him, but his playing and the amp!!!

Great demo :)

[lonestar225]

Wht dont you like him?

[sonnengott666]

His way to talk and gesture... :-S

[antecresearch]

aaahahahahahahahahah

[jebroder]

If Fender was smart they'd distance themselves from this guy. He's a human jukebox who thinks he's Jerry Seinfeld. It's like listening to math equations and bad jokes - not unlike some sort of Driver's Ed video you have to take to get out of a ticket. No feeling. Just technical proficiency. Hopefully, I can get the memory of this dude out of my head the next time I play my Concert, Champ or BandMaster. Drop the Koch and digital effects and start making real overdrive.

[rogerneeb]

he is a big man...

[CharmersTV]

his voice sounds like david putty from seinfeld

[wolfhalen]

i want Rebecka

[KancerStick]

that end lick made me fall out of my chair laughing

[WhiteLightnin3]

Greg is hilarious. These amps really kick ass. You can get so many different tones out of it.

[funlivelife]

hilarious....

[kball69]

koch is a bad ass. go check his other stuff, i think u will be very impressed

[vistritha]

the tele look smaller whit the size of this man... XD

[rushfan992]

ahhhhhh i love this guy!!!

[djteleboy]

holy sheet...god is he good

[MrNonoz]

Dr Mario?

[MITCHWILD]

Rebbecca sound very adenoidal.

[LedZeplican]

greg made a video with hal leonard on how to play 8 lynyrd skynrd songs. It really is superb. learned a lot from this guy.

[jiggawoo]

wow he has his strap/guitar high up. does my back in if i have mine that high.

[bingefeller]

It's probably as low as it'll go ;) - I think Greg is well over 6ft5.....

[mooghammondb3]

Greg is just fantastic. He's a great marketer..humour really sells. A VERY nice guy as well.

[roccotanto]

it rhymes with "chalk"....lol......love GREG!

[wfamaolo]

Man, Greg is huge! Both physically and personality wise.

[baldypel]

he slaps cheek and leaves a mark

[tcrangle963]

and i believe you stole that quote from the man himself!

[probos1]

Greg rules,....F the hater!

[twirlyboggs]

really like this amp

just wish they would have placed a tube driven tremolo in it

[tgcsystems]

damn... I wanna go try one out now! But, I prolly won't...

[sixstringer1231]

cool guy

[freekwit2es]

amazing amp

[PopeOnDope]

greg koch is hilarious! I guess I d buy anything from this guy!

[unabonger777]

where is Teller?

[BINDERxREVx]

I just bought this amp and it is amazing!!!! it is sooo worth the money. I like it better than the mesas

[Alexsy82]

amp sounds great. the dude giving the presentation, on the other hand, is really obnoxious.

[KeithRogersGuitar]

Entertaining would be the word I'd use. :P

[spicbuddha]

yeah this guy is great! he made me smile, and more importantly, made me want to check out this amp, most of these guys put me to sleep

[jp6l6]

How does he boost vibrolux and bassman tones ? With the fx loop I suppose but is it still possible when effects are used ?

[stratthead]

Sounded good till the overdrive/lead tone. Still sounded twangy Fender ( I know- duh!)

I was hoping for more of a mean crunch or grind for heavier stuff.

[aektzis91]

other demos demonstrate that tone you might like

[minibikedude04]

u deff need a good distortion pedal to match the clean tone

[spicbuddha]

a guitar with humbuckers would have gave that tone you want

[jasaggio]

good god...greg is *crazy* great...and alot of fun to listen to. very impressive

[ch313]

haha!

"just one knob on it that says 'More'"

brilliant

[ajfx]

sexy bex!!!!!

[snouter]

He was doing so well being goofy and everything until he tried doing a Keith Richards riff without being in Open G tuning, and then implying Keith is a IV drug user. He is talkin' out his ass regarding the Fender Bassman also.. Buddy Guy said he and fellow bluesman used the Fender Bassman simply because they needed something loud enough to be heard, but small enough for the trunk of their car.

[PLUMBdogg]

The first thing he said about the Bassman was that it was known for being powerful. I take that to mean loud. As for Keith, everyone knows how hard those guys partied bro. It's just a demo of an amp with a guy cracking some jokes, no need to get worked up over it.

[Manolian]

Awesome player, using a great amp/.

[balindo87]

it was heartbreaker my friend.

[Stefanrocks]

whats that Zeppelin Song at 7:12 ?!?!??!

[TJGProductions]

Heartbreaker

[Stefanrocks]

3:38-3:55 So FUNKY! love it.

[xoecram]

this guy is awesome

wanna more videos with him

[SkeletinProductions]

yay my fender amp had no gain

[Tonycaveman]

Is that the "Doctor Mario" theme from Nintendo, @ 3:23?

[AnderDoUrden]

It sounded to ME kinda like "Lady Madonna"...not exactly super mario... but I might be wrong... hehe...

[xoecram]

it is Beatle's song Lady Madonna,

[AnderDoUrden]

...aaaaaaaaaand that's what I said.... =)

[xoecram]

you said KINDA LIKE lol

[AnderDoUrden]

rebound-lol(!) I was being sarcastic about the super mario comment!!!

[xoecram]

hahahaha ok

[notwaiting]

Someone should get G.K. his own late night T.V. show!

[JazzyDave]

Seriously, this guy is a goober.

[notwaiting]

Everyone's different. I wish I could say I was nearly as proficient at the guitar as him, and I've been playin' awhile.

[jaspermania]

i've always wondered wheter it is the gitarist or the instrument and the amp that he uses the make it sound fantastic, n i love tha clean sound on this amp

[JimiPlaysWoodstock]

omg, this guy is just soo funny. love his stuff and dvd's

[birdiejoehoaks]

that lick at 7:23 is insane

[thecommonsenses]

fantastic

[brautigan81]

lol, "identify yourselves," love that.

[crowdermusic]

how tall is that guy! He makes that guitar look like a toy. Great playing

[DeluxeGoldTop]

He is actually 4'11. The guitar he is playing is 1/2 the size of a standard size guitar, same with the rest of the equipment on stage.

He has lived a life of ridicule and torment due to his short height. Hope this helps!

[rueisl8423]

6'7

[RamonePinhead]

Hahaha!

"Who's got a syringe??"

What a great guy! Fantastic player, and one funny motherfucker.

[mennoosmusic]

Fantastic presentation

Lovely played

I'm gonna buy this thing!!!

[Szartard]

THIS GUY IS FUCKING AMAZING.

[DnMZen]

bell bottoms flap in the breeze...

lol.

[BuffaloSinners]

man, i just wanna hang out with this guy.

[intheblues]

Greg could make any amp sound good, this guy is world class :)

[neverenufvideo]

2:16 and he is STILL TALKING. Talk and PLAY

[spacemanvector32]

He likes to feel the power of the night...and why not? lol

[joshman94]

2:06 lool
