its a fender super sonic demo. i just love the sweetness of the first two parts!

thing is here in south america, the supersonic doesnt even arrive (and it would be ridiculously expensive)

what are my alternatives for that kind of sweet clean tone? (if it can handle pedals its a huge plus)

tried a blues Jr. but its ages from it, in comparison its almost icepick!

thanks!


edit: i dont care for the overdrive sounds much. thou it would be great to have them, its the cleans im after.

Mesa Mark series amps are your best bet for Fender-ish cleans and a searing overdrive tone . . . but really the Supersonic is a unique amp. If you have trouble finding Fender amps that were released 2 years ago, I doubt Mesa amps are easy to find though.

what brands are readily available where you live?

Theee cheapest, but still gig'able, will probably be something like this :

Used Blues Jr.

Used pedals :

. . . and if you want to drop another $90.00 or so, you can look at a speaker upgrade :
