Fender Schematic

Post by skyboltone »

Anybody seen a Super Sonic scheme floating around? I imagine it's partially sand state and probably IP still but it would be nice to see what they're up to. It's a nice sounding amp.

I got it to work. In the file. They use SS for switching and the effects loop but the rest is pretty straight up. A vibrolux and a Bassman pre, switchable, with an OD stage. I just recently heard one and really liked the cleans on Vibrolux. Typical Fender scooped mids but loud and clear. The real brake from tradition seems to be the sealed 4 12" cabinet filled with Celestion!?! V 30s.

They've also got a 2x12 cab meant for the supersonic head. I played it a few months ago and it was really pretty decent, though I didn't have a ton of time to fool around with it.

The make hotrod deluxe combos with a v30 as well though I don't know if that's standard or not. Again, decent.

Actually the Loop is not Solid State but is 100% tube
The only place a Fet is being used is for a mute to ground while the relays are switching (a common cute practice) The signal path is all relay no FET (SS)
Terrible implementation for the mute and switching though (as is the 5150III) , completely over thought switching, could be done with 1/4 the parts.
