Super 112: Loud, clean and reliable
Howdy,
Being a Super 112 owner, I wanted to revive this thread. Mine is essentially a Super 60 in a larger cabinet and yes, it's got red knobs.
I bought this amp new in the Spring of '92 and it's been babied, true. It's also been quite reliable, needing a repair back in Nov '05. It cost $40 and took 30 minutes. The tech told me that my Super 112 was no more difficult to fix than any other modern PCB amp. He retensioned a tube socket and resoldered a bad joint, I believe.
My Super 112 has a pleasant, clean sparkle quite suitable for Jazz, C&W et al. Where it falls short is that cursed "gain" channel. Pre-amp tube buzz just isn't my cup of tea. As for overdriving the 6L6's, it's possible, but difficult with a Fender guitar. This is, IMHO a "Clean" amp; sort of a Twin lite. Of course it weighs 60 lbs!
While many dismiss the Super 60/112/210 as "unreliable", or lacking for tone, IMHO the Super 60/112/210 gets an unfair bum rap. As usual, YMMV :)
