Fender Supersonic clean chanel

This is the Supersonic clean chanel switching two modes (Vibrolux/Bassman) modded by Pedro Vecino in Spain.
______
The problems that has in his clean channel are the following ones:
- A very appreciable difference in the volume of both modes
- Vibrolux sounds plain, thin and without dimension (anorexic)
- Bassman mode has the treble and harmonic content killed. It sounds under the water.

This amp has a few modifications made to outline both channels and to obtain his "original" character with balance, full bodied and articulate tone plenty of sustain and detail. Lead chanel also is modified to give him weight and density fluently with balance. Cristal clear in SRV light crunchy tones and big density in solo leads.
The whole amp sounds with big depth and relax since of origin it sounds small and stiff.
Components are film foil polyester, polystyrene and some polypropilene caps with different values to accommodate the new balances, a collection of resistors and fine preamp tubes as Mullard, Tungsram, GE 5751, RFT and others.
Only have been kept the two tubes exclusive for reverb circuit, since this one sounds basically well. Speaker is the same: Vintage 30.

@niceillusion1 See first comments. There are some basic instructions. The complete work is very laborious and I can not put here.

Hello, One of the best clean sound i've ever heard !!!

hola,soy de chile, tengo la version de cabezal, el vibrolx en el mio suena suuuper agudo, tanto q estoy eq con agudos al 2 y medio y bajos al 8, pero ademas el tono de la strato (tengo uno solo gral) al 5-6

El canal burn le falta ganancia a mi parecer, para rock esta bien, pero ya para heavy se queda corta, lo mismo para solos mas pesados, falta ganancia

[midshift]

Por lo que cuentas, demasiado agudo. El combo lleva un Vintage 30, el cual le aporta peso y densidad.

Al segundo canal no le falta ganancia. Tiene muchísima. Probablemente te conviniera llevarlo a revisar.

Suerte con ello

Wow, you're pretty highly strung in tone. A supersonic 22 that I tried in the shop had the perfect clean channels already. You must have had either a bad amp or bad guitar, these things sound awesome already!

[pipeofdoom]

as a big fan of metallica i think that this amp has just the perfect tone for the clean parts :)

[myway43]

@gretscher I thnk this amp actually , more dynamics

[gretscher]

Wonder which sounds better, Deluxe Reverb or this amp?

[maxsalasr]

te agradeceria q me orientaras acerca de si seran los tubos o si necesita cirugia mayor

gracias desde chile!

[djteleboy]

nice job what did u do to it

[dnah2k]

Sorry, I forgot that I had commented before and you responded. Thanks!

[dnah2k]

Hey there - love the tone! I have the supersonic combo too, and it's time to change the tubes. Which tubes are you putting in the preamp, rectifier, and power stages? If I could get my SS to sound like yours, I would be very happy! Thank you!

Quand les connaissances techniques se conjuguent au goût à ce point, la frontière entre l'ingénieurie et l'art devient ténue... très belle lutherie électrique!

We knew the price of this new type fender amp.We know now with these mods or this kind of mods how to transform it in a high class fender combo, maybe the one of his generation...

Amarei tambem de ouvir o trabalho sobre o canal burn...!

muy kumprimentos!

Just picked one up from ebay for 800.00 bucks. Three months old.

[luukdoedens]

What a various sounds... great..

look me up at youtube ( misterbassman ) !!

[somogendogen]

I like the way this Super Sonic sounds, much better than a stock one. Wish Fender could have figured out what you did, that way we all could have such a nice amp.

I'd be tempted to have my tech try your mods on my SS, but it is not really clear to me what needs to be done.

[Timerrin]

Thanks for sharing... got me rethinking this one.  Nice playing too...

[binsou]

I will try to put mustard in the signal path...

[stratoludo]

[midshift]
