Fender Super Champ XD Guitar Combo Amp Blonde

Got my amp and was impressed with the sie and weight as I amused to carrying big stuff back and forth to church every Sunday. After playing through it for a couple of hours, I found it is OK for low volume use, but cranking it up even half way rattles the speaker to the point it kills the sound. Would not reccommend it for anu "gigs" unless it is a low volume one. Good for practice, but can't use it for anything else.

In this price range you cannot find another amp with this much flexibility. I watched many youtube videos of this amp in action with a host of different guitars and really feel this is the #1 choice in this category. I play a Fender Fat strat and a Washburn with EMGs throught this and this amp brings out the best in both.

After trying this amp out at Guitar Center with multiple guitars and comparing it to Voxs and Marshals I am convinced that the Super Champ XD represents one of the very best values in tube driven home and small venue amps available today. Each time I try a combination of new voice and effects settings I hear the great tone that we all know from some of the great recordings we all enjoy. The clean channel is truly vintage Fender tube. I have a Marshal 412 cab that I have connected to the speaker connection and this baby just keep on going. When I connect the line out to my Fender Princeton Chorus and match the outputs I am sure the neighbors are grooving right along with me. Check this amp out before Fender starts selling it for what it is really worth.

I couldn't be happier with this amp. It cops a basic Fender Deluxe Reverb type of tone so well, and at bedroom volumes! I play a Heritage hollow body and a G&L ASAT semi-hollow (tele), and it makes them both sound like they should. I even thought about getting a second one and doing small gigs with the pair of them. Instead I bought the new Supersonic 22 which is an even better amp. But for what you pay, what you get with this is just a lot of great fender tone. I don't mess with the amp voices too much. I get a bluesy bassman sound on one setting and just leave it there. Clean channel for my jazzbox and bassman/tweed for my ASAT. Perfect! If you're looking for lots of different distortions I can't say whether this will meet your expectations, but it delivers for me where it counts. I haven't tried to really crank it so I can't say how loud it will go with the band. But I didn't buy it for that. That's what the bigger amps are for.

I heard about this little 15 watt giant about 3 wks ago. GC didnt have any in stock so was unable to try it out. But after reading rave reviews on the internet I was sold. Ordered one and 3 days later, Nirvana! Super clean tones on voices 1 & 2 and all that other F/X stuff was just a plus. Didnt have time to check out everything so I brought it out to our Monday Blues jam and w/ just my boss OD/Distortion pedal this thing absolutely killed and no louder than 5 all this behind a full band. A sea of open mouths greeted me as I left the stage. Theres not enough words to describe how pleased I am with this baby. Well worth the money and then some.

For the past two years or so, I have been playing solely on a NOS Blues Jr. I decided that I wanted to get a second amp that was completely different. I decided on the VOX Vt40+. I figured since it did have a tube and a lot of effects, it would be a good choice. The first one arrived with a broken speaker magnet (didn't even look to be dropped), and the one I exchanged it for simply sounded awful. According to the Vox forums, I'm not the only one that noticed the god awful hiss that accompanied most single notes on most of the amp models. One more return, a couple of days later and now I have my super champ XD. Just taking a good look at the construction of this thing in comparison blew me away. In lieu of all of the bells and whistles, you get much better tone. Instead of a headphone jack, you get a line-out. There are trade-offs but the tone and feel of the amp more than make up for what could be considered its simplistic nature. It has most of the tube goodness of the blues Jr. with a little brighter sound. Very little extra noise is produced by the DSP when using the models and effects which is the way it has to be for me. It didn't take long for me to decide that I highly recommend this amp
