Re: Fender Champion 600?
You'd have to try it out.
I had one. It was alright for a practice amp. Stock the cleans were not that good. Slight improvement with a change to Tung Sols. Not that great for what I play when cranked either.
It's decent if you're into garage rock, but overall the amp had a boxy and dry sound that I couldn't change without a speaker change. With the Weber I couldn't say how good it would be.
It also cooked itself before I could sell it.

I tried a 600 in the store. Did not impress me at all and I'm a Fender amp guy. I don't get what all the rage is about them online.

Yeah, nothing special, kinda a boring practice amp... I know TimmyPage on here loved his but they didn't do anything for me.

Re: Fender Champion 600?
I had one and it was not my favorite.
If you're going to go with a small tube amp an 8" speaker is the smallest I would go. Out of a Vox AC4tv, BF Vibro-Champ, a SF Champ, a Valvetrain 205 (Tweed Princeton clone), a Roland Cube, and a Vox SS Modeler (forget the name now), and a Champion 600. The Champion was the worst of the bunch by a heavy majority IMO.
For roughly the same amount you should be able to score a Vox AC4tv or a SF Champ on the used market.

One trick pony, and unlike other little amps, the trick just isn't that good.
I'd take a Mustang I as a practice rig over any micro tube amp ... in fact, I did

Re: Fender Champion 600?
I've been using an acoustic amp for the last week or so. I have all my other gear all packed away & haven't been able to plug in to anything in almost 3 weeks(talk about withdrawal) I just picked up my Hagstrom from my Luthier with new frets & have been playing it through my Genz Benz acoustic 80 & I must say it sounds pretty awesome!
