The NEW Fender Super is most certainly SHIT. That is the worst
constructed amp I’ve seen in my life. You sound like a Fender salesman!
The amp is nearly impossible to service, and hence, will be nearly
“disposable” when something goes wrong. To fix a problem, the amount of
time required, and resulting hourly labor charges will be staggering. So
much so, that in some cases it will be cheaper just to get a new amp. Add
to that, how the hell do you optimize the bias on the output tubes?
There’s no adjustment, and changing resistors is nearly impossible because
of the above mentioned problems.

This amp will certainly meet Fender’s goal for having a finite lifespan.
Unlike the original Tweed and Blackface (and Silverface) amps that are
still going strong today, it is highly unlikely that the new Super will
live to see it’s 40th birthday. The new Super, and all of it’s brothers,
are simply crap.

Regards.
