  • Fender Champ 100
Size: 100 Watts Style: Champion I
Here's the deal: Bought this solid-state monster purely to use on GIGS because the tube amps were getting tossed around, and one night at a really sketchy bar I got electrocuted three times. SO Fender solid-state 100 watts, two 12" speakers, tons of on-board effects, not too heavy, really easy to use. My take, as a giging amp, or a mid-level amp for musicians, this FENDER CHAMP 100 is a phenomenal value and completely worth every penny. Now - are you going to get Robin Ford or Larry Carleton tones in the studio? NO you would need a Dumble amp or a Zen pedal. BUT this platform takes pedals well and you can sculpt whatever you want on the quiet (not buzzing) solid-state platform. ... show more

  • A Digital Amplifier for Analog Players
Size: 40 Watts Style: Champion I
After using the amplifier for a few months and reading up on the new digital modeling amps, I think the best way to describe the Champion 40 is that it's a modeling amplifier for people who don't want to connect their guitar amp to their phone or the Internet. Instead of dozens/hundreds of amp sounds and effects and configurations, the Champion series gives you a fixed number of solid amp sounds through an interface that looks, feels, and works just like a regular old-school amplifier. It makes the newer tech in solid-state amplifier much more accessible. I'll also add that I've since picked up a small tube amp which I love, but I have one favorite guitar where I still prefer running it through the Champion's Deluxe or Princeton Reverb voices. Rest of the original write-up follows. I'm mostly a hobby player, playing for fun and to accompany/supervise my son during his music practice. I've never owned a "real" amp, playing through an early-1990's vintage Crate practice amp and a Pignose. Both were functional: I'd play through them so I could hear my Strat, but I never loved how my guitar sounded through either of them. The pandemic has led to me playing a lot more, so I finally decided to splurge on a better practice amp. I don't have a lot of experience with amps, and the pandemic meant I couldn't try any in person before buying something. I settled on the Champion 40 one based on comments and videos of recent Fender solid-state amps. The other amp I considered was a Bugera v5 tube amp, but I went with the Champion 40 for its versatility and to avoid the maintenance that I know tube amps require. The best thing I can say about this amp is that I feel like my guitar suddenly has tone, whether through the clean channel or through the voice channel. I play more than I did before because I like hearing my guitar talking through it. It's a simple amp that's easy to operate and doesn't have as much complexity as something like the Fender Mustang line, but you can still get plenty of versatility with the amp voices and effects provided. A lot of the built-in effects are gimmicky, but I like the way the reverb effects sound and I'm not into effects anyway. The marketing says the clean channel is modeled after a classic Twin blackface sound, and I'd agree based on how close it is to the Twin voice on the other channel with the gain turned down. Finally, while looks are the least important aspect of an amp, I love the classic Fender blackface look of the Champion 40. I also like the usability of the blackface angled front panel over top-mounted controls (as on the Fender tweed amps or the Mustang line), so it's not just about the looks. I am sure there are lots of amps in this price range that would satisfy my needs, and which would sound as good or better. I'm also sure I could spend 2-5 times as much money a tube amp to get better tone. The bottom line is that I love the way this amp looks, works, and sounds, and I feel like I got a whole lot of amplifier for the money. It's an amp I can grow with for quite a while. ... show more

  • I am Liking this amp
Size: 40 Watts Style: Champion I
For the price it is a solid little practice amp. I am using the clean side with effect pedals. The O/D side with built in effects are OK, but I like to dial in my own sound. It is very light weight & plenty loud for at home practice & would be good for a gig if it were miked through a P.A. Not really any drawbacks for this little guy. ... show more

  • Great sound, great price. Exactly what I wanted.
Size: 100 Watts Style: Champion I
Absolutely love this amp. Sounds great, has tons of amp models and effects to play around with and is super simple to use. Comes with a foot switch to switch channels and turn on/off selected effects. And did i mention this thing is LOUD. It really makes playing fun because it is so powerful even at low volume. I will have this amp presumably forever because it is exactly what I wanted. I could even gig with it if I ever get that good at playing. ... show more

  • Want to make your neighbors mad?
Size: 100 Watts Style: Champion I
Years ago I bought the Mustang amp and was disappointed with all the simulated tones as all I wanted was a pure sound. Plus it was a single 12" speaker but it could still make your ears ring. In its defense, there are a few simulated tones that were pleasing to play but most of them sounded distorted. So, the Mrs. and I got in a fight so I decided to treat myself to a new amp. After reading other reviews from those much more proficient than I, I took the plunge. WOW, what an amp. The first channel is "clean" but can still be modulated. The two 12" speakers do not disappoint and I'm confident you could fill up most concert venues (albeit moderate size) with no problem. Or you can select the second channel and go crazy with settings I have only begun to explore. The only reason for the 4-star rating on versatility (and I think this is a small point) is that you can only plug in one guitar so you can't "share" with another player. It's a little hefty to carry around with just the handle as I think it's just north of 40 lb. I'm a little long in the tooth so I had my son bring it upstairs. Plus it's a bit bulky so it really offsets your center of gravity which adds a degree of difficulty in lifting and transporting it. Sorry, I cannot discuss the nuances of different settings so I'll defer to those professionals who have waxed poetic about it's capabilities. I content myself with how it projects power and clarity at low levels and makes my mid-level playing sound good. I'm confident if you want to crank it up it will take you as loud as you want to go and depending on the time of day, you may get a visit from local law enforcement! You don't need to hear from me that you can go crazy price-wise with guitar amps but at this price point, I think you'd be hard pressed to justify why you need to spend that much more when this one can definitely carry the load. FWIW, I haven't had the master volume above 3 so there's a lot of "Star Trek" space left! Enjoy. ... show more
