Those are not in the same league. They're made in Mexico and are budget amps for Guitar Center customers and musicians who need a good tone cheap. However, the Machete and Super-Sonics (not the SS22 though) are made in USA. I have played both the Machete and Super-Sonic 100 and they are outstanding. They are probably Fender's best offerings to date in terms of tone and build. I say that even though I'm not a Fender fan boy.

Yeah, I don't know anything about the Machete. I was just referring to your comment about the Hot Rod Deluxe, lol. But if I was going to get a Fender made amp for hard rock or metal, it would definitely be the 5150 III. They are awesome amps. I had the 50 watt but had to sell it

I tried the 50w head but didn't have the instant infatuation that I did with the original 100w. I tried several times to trade up for a 5150 III but nothing ever really came through. I'm happy now with Bogners, but I still think they're awesome. They're probably the best amps made in Mexico... ever.
