Can't seem to find any info on a older Sunn Stinger 100 Amp that my Grandson picked up for me! If anyone has had experience or info on this amp..all info will be helpful! Thank You! PoorOtis.

Info on Sunn Stinger 100 amp

Has anyone repaired or operated one of these amps? Is their any info about this model out on the Net..because I can only find the operating manual at Sunn/Fender
and nothing more! I have seen info on Sunn Stinger 20/35/60 models..but nothing on the 100 model ( not even sure what year it was made) Tag on frame says..ST-100 01123..and I checked, its the original speaker..other than that..I know nothing about the Stinger 100! I hope someone can share some insight into this amp and pass it along to me. Thanks. PoorOtis.

Here is the Stinger 35 from my paper archives. The only Stinger I have.

My paper files are not where I can get at them at the moment, but seems to me the Sunn Stinger line was the same amps as a Fender line, I am thinking Sidekick. One set of drawings came to the service centers with a title page explaining that.

Thanks to dmeek & Enzo for the information. We went to a club last night and the Lead Player was using a Early 90s Fender Stage Lead II..its the same amp as my Sunn Stinger 100..but Re-labeled by Fender!

Funny, the Stinger 100 is clearly a relabelled Fender as you found out, probably just to "keep the Brand alive" by now and then issuing some product so labelled but without a real design or production effort ... silkscreen is cheap and easy , but the Stinger 60 I very Sunn, very early 70´s: FET input (including a Stone Age Texas Fet) with ... surprise surprise very advanced Servo Bias , probably much needed by the 5:1 dispersion in FET parameters .CMOS Gate clipping and weird choice of 4 (count´em) TO220 Darlington transistors instead of more logical (and cheaper) use of TO3P TIP142/147 ones. Oh well.
