    • A Digital Amplifier for Analog Players
After using the amplifier for a few months and reading up on the new digital modeling amps, I think the best way to describe the Champion 40 is that it's a modeling amplifier for people who don't want to connect their guitar amp to their phone or the Internet. Instead of dozens/hundreds of amp sounds and effects and configurations, the Champion series gives you a fixed number of solid amp sounds through an interface that looks, feels, and works just like a regular old-school amplifier. It makes the newer tech in solid-state amplifier much more accessible. I'll also add that I've since picked up a small tube amp which I love, but I have one favorite guitar where I still prefer running it through the Champion's Deluxe or Princeton Reverb voices. Rest of the original write-up follows. I'm mostly a hobby player, playing for fun and to accompany/supervise my son during his music practice. I've never owned a "real" amp, playing through an early-1990's vintage Crate practice amp and a Pignose. Both were functional: I'd play through them so I could hear my Strat, but I never loved how my guitar sounded through either of them. The pandemic has led to me playing a lot more, so I finally decided to splurge on a better practice amp. I don't have a lot of experience with amps, and the pandemic meant I couldn't try any in person before buying something. I settled on the Champion 40 one based on comments and videos of recent Fender solid-state amps. The other amp I considered was a Bugera v5 tube amp, but I went with the Champion 40 for its versatility and to avoid the maintenance that I know tube amps require. The best thing I can say about this amp is that I feel like my guitar suddenly has tone, whether through the clean channel or through the voice channel. I play more than I did before because I like hearing my guitar talking through it. It's a simple amp that's easy to operate and doesn't have as much complexity as something like the Fender Mustang line, but you can still get plenty of versatility with the amp voices and effects provided. A lot of the built-in effects are gimmicky, but I like the way the reverb effects sound and I'm not into effects anyway. The marketing says the clean channel is modeled after a classic Twin blackface sound, and I'd agree based on how close it is to the Twin voice on the other channel with the gain turned down. Finally, while looks are the least important aspect of an amp, I love the classic Fender blackface look of the Champion 40. I also like the usability of the blackface angled front panel over top-mounted controls (as on the Fender tweed amps or the Mustang line), so it's not just about the looks. I am sure there are lots of amps in this price range that would satisfy my needs, and which would sound as good or better. I'm also sure I could spend 2-5 times as much money a tube amp to get better tone. The bottom line is that I love the way this amp looks, works, and sounds, and I feel like I got a whole lot of amplifier for the money. It's an amp I can grow with for quite a while. ... show more

    • Great practice amp!
Review Image by Pianoman Pianoman
I needed a small practice amp with effects and this fills the bill perfectly. I play jazz/blues and am satisfied with the sounds this little solid state amp provides. The effects are just right for my needs and the size and price are a great value. The amp is quiet without hum or noise, and provides a clean sound with great effects options. It also has a aux input and a tempo set for delay effects. Great sound dynamics. ... show more

    • Very good sound and quality in a lightweight amp
I "grew up" in the 1960's with a Fender Super Reverb, and used a Twin Reverb in the 1980's-2000's. The Twin was lost in Hurricane Katrina (all I have left is the beefy cast metal Fender nameplate). I went amp-less for several years, then bought a gadget called FootNote that combines a pedal board with a practice amp. That worked "OK" at best---too large for a pedal board, too quiet for an amp. So I treated myself to a Fender Champion 40 and am very, very pleased with the quality and sound (and light weight!). It's clearly not a military-grade device, but then neither am I. This amp will likely outlast me, and that's plenty good enough. The amp has excellent tone on the clean side, similar to a Twin etc. The dirty side has some nice adjustments (as heard in the demo videos). It's plenty loud enough for practice and small venues, and will mic just as well as any other amp for larger venues. The reverb and effects are very good, with less "digital" sound than I am used to with simulated effects. Still, I prefer my separate Boss pedals that have a lot more control for the delay and chorus. But the Champion effects are plenty good enough for practice without hauling out my pedalboard. BTW, the amp works fine with a two button footswitch P/N 0071359000 (which isn't clear in the online info or brief instruction manual). The footswitch controls the clean-dirty selection as well as effect off-on. The switch seems very well made and came with the required 1/4" cord. So if you are a purist and like hauling 50-70 pound amps then get yourself a real Deluxe or Twin with nice hot tubes. But if you want a low price amp with very good sound and simple features this is a hard deal to beat. ... show more
