One more thing about the Champion 20 (and 40 / 100). According to the electronic circuit diagram the "phones" output is in fact a stereo output from the internal Codec-processor (AK4556 chip). While the power amplifier and speaker (of course) is mono output. Aux in is also stereo and pass on to the phones output. Plug in a set of stereo headphones an try the effects :) Or why not to a mixer? Just loving the Champion series combos :)

Very helpful info! I know it’s hard to justify upgrading to a speaker that costs almost as much as the amp but I’ve heard the 25 watt Jensen P8R is a great upgrade. At $110 it’s pricey. I’ve also read people touting the 100 watt Celestion TF0818 PA speaker as a great upgrade. At $70 this might be more attractive. In case you have the inclination try such a mod, I’d love to see it! 👍

Great video! I've recently purchased this amp and your channel is the best resource so far. I was playing with a Fender Mustang before so i'm used more with presets. I would really apreciate if you can make any videos about getting tones from specific artists/songs and I think this is a great idea of continuing this series. For example I'm trying to play Europa-Santana and i cannot get sustained sounds at all.

the 20, or should I say 20's(multiple) can be a beast....if you use a splitter and link up several of them...omg...you would be surprised at the sounds you get..try it with just 3 and you will immediately understand. I have a buddy who built a 6-er called the six-pack. it's 3 x 3 of them in a shelf(box) with a power strip and splitter built in(hey do what you can on a budget, he got most of them used with the one he had new) that thing makes a crazy wall of sound...those little things were designed to emulate big sounds in a little box...but the six-pack...OMG...I called BS on it when he told me he was working on it...and while it's not the most efficient it certainly is loud and sounds crazy.

I have never tried that. You definitely can run signal out of the Champion 40 through its headphone jack, but I do not know if your phone can receive audio in through its headphone plug. I would think you can because most headphones (especially for phones) have a built in mic, so it should be able to process audio coming in. You could try something like this: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CMM110--hosa-cmm-110-3.5mm-trs-male-to-3.5mm-trs-male-cable-10-foot Thank you for watching and commenting!
