Thanks for the demo. I ended up buying the stack and love it. I did have to spend some time deep editing the sounds to get what I wanted out of it. The ability to be able to tweak the 16 channels is a real bonus to me. I changed all of them, I have a couple of great clean tones, a few blues tones, some great classic rock stuff, and some killer classic rock stuff, and I also had room to have a '65 Deluxe Reverb with a tweaked fuzz pedal that I edited on there too.

what kind of guitar is that your playing? Really beautiful looking and sounding.

I did something similar: bought the SC112 cab to use with my 65 Princeton reissue. Sounds great and beats having to install a 12 inch speaker in the Princeton. The SC112 cab is fairly heavy, so I'm guessing birch ply. Nice Reverend, by the way. Wicked colour...

Hey, thanks for the review. Can you explain a little more about what exactly you don't like about the X2? You mention you don't like the effects and the controls, but can you be more specific? As in do you like the sounds it makes, but dislike the control layout or editability? Or do you not like the sounds it makes - the amp models or the effects? From what I've heard, it's the exact same guts as the XD.

@elsminko Hey, thanks for your comment. The number 1 thing I didn't like was the tap tempo when used with the "reverb + delay setting", maybe cause I'm not used to it and I really liked the XD version of it. It was easier to use and sounded better. As for the 16 voices that come preset with the amp, they are setup different than the XD. You can edit them but i don't want to spend time doing that, I'd rather have a combo with a 112 cab. Makes for a great combo of varieties. Thanks!

Got the XD yesterday.. Honestly it smokes the X2. Fender dropped the ball. I really wanted to like the X2, it just sounds too digital for me. They had a home run with the XD. Glad I found one. ..

This is a great amp, I am getting one. But I wanted the head and cabinet. I will go and test drive them both at the same time to make the call. I want the head/cab because I keep blowing combos up, I swear having the tubes in the cabinet causes some kind of problems. I won't use the effects, so I wonder if I am in good shape going with the head/cabinet arrangement?

Funny you mentioned that you don't like it. I test drove the X2 yesterday and today, and I FIRMLY agree. I have the Vibro Champ XD and I think the presets are stronger on the VC. I also didn't care for the tap tempo, even though I understand how to use it, it's not really responsive as I would like. I am interested in the first channel which still kicks ass, as well as I am curious about the FUSE software option for it. I'm still one the fence. It's not an automatic decision that I will upgrade.

@hongdekong You can gig with just about any amp you'll just have to mic up smaller ones. This amp however could totally handle a smaller club

Hey, thanks for the review. How do you feel about the extension cabinet as a whole? Does it have decent bass response? I'm debating on whether I should buy the SC112 extension, or the hot rod deluxe extension, the hundred bucks in price difference is considerable.

When you run the ext. cab, I assume you are just running that speaker? If you run both speakers, how are you doing that? thanks!

@mrmrmrmr39 12 жыл бұрын

OK , How is the clean channel on the x2 is it the same as the xd

@hongdekong 13 жыл бұрын

Hey, can i just put a nice big cab under it and gig with it? Or can i also do that with the combo? ( I'm sort off new in this area...)

@polishbroadcast Thanks for the comments, I'm glad it was useful for you!

@treetser I'm running just the one speaker. I don't know how you would run 2 speakers.

It's a Reverend Jetstream 290. There's one on ebay for less that $500!! Search Reverend 290.

Hi. Can I use the superchamp x2 head without speaker only line out? I heard tubes will damage if I will use it so.

Hi! I own a Super Champ XD combo but I'm having some issues trying to get a loud clean volume. I'm considering to buy this cab to amplify the clean volume. You guys think it's gonna work? Thanks!

it's got all that extra bass, in part, cuz you got two cabs workin...I dread the thought of buying a used tube amp on Ebay now that some joker has played all his fav VH solos for 5 yrs...great demo though, great advice, love that Rev gtr ! thx very much.

I used a speaker cable from the out of the amp to the in of the cab.

@superchampx2 12 жыл бұрын

Hey, sorry for the late response. On the whole I thought the extension cab was very good. Good quality, nice bass response. I'd buy it.

@superchampx2 12 жыл бұрын

It only has an output for speaker cable

Thanks for posting this, and i like especially that you used P90s which is what i would be using. Thanks for saving me some money too. I can get a used XD for cheap. Lastly, nice playing, and cool Reverend guitar!
