Overview of the Fender Champion 20 small practice amplifier. Wonderful little amp for beginners or anyone not wanting to spend a ton of money on an amp and effects to get started!

Picked one of these up for 50 bucks in a pawn shop to use with my harp. I already loved this thing but now I know how much more I can do thanks dude.

I have this amp, and I wish I had found a video like this when I first got it five years ago. Better late than never, and this is still helpful. One thing I wish Fender had done was make the voice and effects knobs click when the setting changes, instead of having the light change color.

I use this amp in my apartment fot Late night practice. Headphone and aux input features are extremely handy. Thanks for the tutorial. Is also a good choice for a beginner amp. Lots of flextbility with this amp. I also use a Super Champ X2 for home recording. Similar effects but with a tube power section. Handy dandy little amps.

My first tube amp was the Vibro champ XD and I loved it! The effects on this make me nostalgic for that amp.

Thanks for the great explanation. Mine arrived yesterday and I am liking the features so far. Quick question: Does your amp make a "pop" sound when you power off? Cheers.
@sboistan Жыл бұрын
really tempted to try an American Sound pedal going into the front of one of these!
Yo i have a question. I was jamming at my schools music room with my drummer on this amp, orange metal channel, gain 10, and volume at around 5-6. I noticed the sound started breaking up a bit. Will it damage anything if i keep it at that volume level or higher?

Have you ever had any issues with this amp? I am kind of leery of buying amps with a lot of built-in effects.

I haven’t had issues. But it is what it is with less expensive amps like this they work until they don’t unlike fixable vintage amps but they’re also a lot cheaper to acquire.
