Fender Super-Champ XD
$420.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Tube components enable highly dynamic playing - jazz, blues and other genres with varying pick attack levels are well represented. "Blackface" mode is of very high quality - reminiscent of tones made popular by Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughn. "British" mode combines multiple classic rock guitar tones - elements of both Marshall and Vox amps are present.

Brian in Seattle:
#fender_super_champ_xd There are some units with a "hiss/rattle" when fretting "B" strings (worst at the 7th fret. I took one back and now have a "good" one and am as happy with it as any amp I've ever owned (20 years of playing.) The cleans are amazing, the jazz voice is creamy, the metal sounds span from classic rock to shredder to modern death metal, and the jangle makes you want to buy a big green tractor! Spend the extra $40 for the warranty to ensure no hassles if you get one that buzzes and you can't go wrong.
