Fender Champion 600

Re: Fender Champion 600

I'm about to make a single power tube tweed amp that is going into a similar styled 1x12, except round hole in front ala some old gibsons. Placed the order today for the cab. I'm gonna call it the Aislinn SE.
 
Re: Fender Champion 600

Well mine got in a few hours ago and I've been playing it non stop.

It's pretty quiet is my only complaint but I got it for a practice amp any way. But damn does this thing have tone! With an invader into it I get a great gritty tone, excellent over drive. Splitting the invader gives me a fantastic clean tone. I can also just ride the volume knob and get tons of great tones.

Man this is a great little amp. If you don't have an ass kicking pickup you'll probably need a boost.

I'll get some pictures some time soon maybe clips since I got some new recording equipment.

Sorry I had to take them with my phone because the digital camera isn't around.

This is such a great recording amp, loves pedals. Unless you need a modern tone this thing would be perfect for anything studio wise.

Re: Fender Champion 600

What's the volume like and how's it sound when you dime it?

Volume is pretty low, pretty much ideal for practice and recording, but nothing more.

The dimed tone depends on your pickup's output. With my rickenbacker and a boost it works great for the rocky mountain way kinda tone.

My clips are pretty meh since it's pretty much just posted so I can track my progress but I have 2 clips of it here: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pageartist.cfm?bandID=685825 The recording quality is spot on though, pretty much exactly how it sounded in the room but it has a little more lows when you set it on the ground. I had it sitting on a stack of egg crate foam to prevent the lows from bothering anyone else in the house.
