Harness the raw tone of ‘50s tweed amps and the mid-’60s cleans with Fender’s new Super 62 combo
After recently giving its Tone Master FR-12 cab a vintage Tweed makeover, Fender is continuing to expand its amp offerings with the new Super 62, the latest addition to its American Vintage Amplifier series.
Harnessing both the raw tone of ‘50s-era tweed amps and the classic clean tone of the mid-’60s, the Super 62 offers a “warm and woody clean sound alongside a sweet overdrive when cranked”.

The Super 62 is powered by a pair of 6L6 tubes, driving 40 watts into dual 10” Celestion Custom Design speakers, while a phase-shifting harmonic tremolo offers a “rich dimension to any sound”. The amp also features six 12AX7 preamp tubes, as well as one 5AR4 rectifier tube.
With a single-button footswitch included, the Super 62 has two channels, both with Volume, Treble and Bass controls, while Channel 2 also has Speed and Intensity controls, and there’s a master Presence control, too.
Last week, Fender gave its Tone Master FR-12 full-range, flat-response cab a Tweed reskin, offering lovers of both amp modellers and vintage-aesthetic amplifiers what might be the perfect cab solution.
The Super 62 is priced at $2499.99 / £2,439.
