A fun and affordable tribute to an historic Fender model!
The Fender Champ Amp is a 5W tube guitar amplifier with a 6-inch speaker and 1950 "two tone" cosmetics. This simple tribute to the cute and collectable 1949-53 era Fender guitar amplifier makes small-room sessions lots of fun! Originally intended as a student model, the Champ Amp has also been employed by many professionals for its low output, easy-to-record capabilities. Fender has added a higher-gain preamp circuit to take the overdriven tone beyond that of the original, and a choice of High- or Low-gain inputs. An internal speaker output jack allows the use of a larger speaker cabinet.
The original Champion 600 had a low-gain preamp with 6SJ7 tube; the 12AX7 and associated tone circuitry lets the amp be driven harder for more overdrive.
5W tube power amplifier driving a 6-inch speaker provides perfect low volume for practice or recording. Internal speaker can be disconnected, allowing amp to be used with a larger external speaker cabinet.

Wonderful little amp
I don't usually write reveiws...for anything. So it shows just how much I love this little amp (Fender Champion 600 5W 1x6 Combo Amp). I was looking for a good practice amp, so I went to guitarcenter. I grabbed a Les Paul, plugged in, and man does it sing. The clean tone is very glassy and thick. Great for Jazz. Crank it up, and you get a beutiful bluesy crunch. The simplistic design, the leather exterior, and retro look sealed the deal for me. For 200$ you're getting a whole lotta amp. Though it's only 5 watts It's actually quite loud. I think it would be unreasonable to gig with it, but I record with the thing alot. It's well suited for everything-except maybe metal. I actually play in a Hardcore band, so I use a pedal and it sounds wonderful.

The Champ is the Amp!
When I saw this amp, I thought what can 5 watts and a 6 inch speaker do? I am impressed! The sound this amp produces is awesome! Just buy a Holy Grail Reverb Pedal to use with the amp and you will be ready to go.

Special Use Amp
OK, I've been using this for about 3 weeks now, mostly with a Gibson Les Paul. I also own a Fender Princeton Recording amp so I'm hooked on that all-tube overdrive sound. This little amp is only 5 watts with "low" and "high" gain inputs. It has a wonderful tone in either mode: instant full-on cranked tube amp sound. The issue for some is that you can really only use it at a low volume: assuming your guitar volume knobs at 10- you can only do about 6 on the amp volume before it gets muddy. It's perfect for using in an apartment bedroom, you won't need any pedals unless you favor metal. Price, tone and quality are top-notch, just don't expect too much in the volume department.

toneful little amp
I had a chance to mess around on this for a little bit at Guitar Center today and I have to say I was impressed. The build quality is definitely solid and harkens back to that vintage vibe. The leather handle makes it a little more boutique. I liked the idea of putting high and low input jacks on there, with the low I could crank the amp to achieve some slight fuzz without getting hassled by the GC tech guys. It also had a great suede grille clothe as opposed to other materials, but it def. didn't hinder the tone. Here's how I know it's good: I plugged in a new Squier Bullet because I was getting nostalgic of owning a similar Squier as my first real electric. The thing sang like the best of any Strats and I'm being serious, sure the frets felt a little raw, but the guitar actually sounded purely like any other Strat, especially in the in-between settings. So out came "Little Wing", "Yellow Ledbetter" and "Sultans of Swing". The amp was excellent and like other users wrote, it allows you to really use your guitar as the EQ. This may be why the Squier sounded better than it is. Also, it had a hard tail bridge and I think that really kept it's tune and tone much better than those crap tremolos that are usually on them. Very cool little amp, if I had the "extra" money, I'd buy it.

Sweet little amp
I bought this amp the day after I bought the Crate V8 Palmino. I wanted a small tube amp after selling my big tube combo. This little amp has the sweetest tone if you want a clean to slightly overdriven sound. I think it really lets the tone of your guitar shine through because there is no tone circuit, just pure, sweet, glistening sound.
I am playing a Schecter Blackjack with Seymour Duncans on it and running a Digitech RP250 through it.
In short, while the Crate screams, this little honey sings. This amp is staying with me, the Crate is not.
