Get the best of both worlds. The Fender Super Champ X2 combines classic tube-driven tone with modern onboard effects in an affordable 15-watt combo amp.

Fender brings you the Super Champ X2 guitar combo amplifier -- a 15-watt box of warm, inviting tone with a bunch of modern tone-shaping tools. This combo amp features a voice control knob with 16 different amp types, 15 different onboard effects, two channels of awesome Fender tone, two 6V6 tubes, one 12AX7 preamp tube, tap tempo control to adjust your delay time, three-band EQ controls, and a clear, full-bodied sounding Fender Special Design 10" speaker to project your signal. This thoroughly modern amp also has a USB out to connect to your computer's DAW recording software. These features combined with Fender's time-tested reputation make for one champ of an amp.

Why Go for a Lower Wattage?

Amps with lower wattages have their own atypical sound -- a sonic character that higher-wattage amps can't entirely capture. Regarding sensitivity, just a few small tweaks from your EQ, gain, and volume knobs will go a long way with this amp. Lower wattage also means that you can effect more tonal change via your guitar's volume and tone controls -- so get ready to have more sonic authority without having to walk back to your amp's controls in the middle of a set.

USB Out to Connect to Your DAW

USB connectivity allows you to plug your Super Champ X2 directly to your computer for further sonic options. USB connectivity opens a whole bunch of doors for recording and manipulating your sound. There's no telling just how many different tones you'll get out of this combo amp -- without read more ever having to mic up the speaker.

16 Different Amps and 15 Onboard Effects

Your Super Champ X2 comes with a nice surplus of effects and amp models. 16 different amp settings will keep you busy for hours on end -- featuring Fender's Tweed, Blackface, British, Metal, and more tonal treats modeled by the folks who made the amps in the first place. To color your tone, you have 15 onboard effects to give your sound the right shade of sonic charm. With the Super Champ X2 behind you, there are virtually limitless aural possibilities at your fingertips.

Warm All-Tube Sound

When it comes to fueling your signal with a warm colorful sound, your Fender Super Champ covers all the angles. This baby houses two 6V6 tubes and one 12AX7 preamp tube. Your 6V6 tubes offer a very pleasant quality to your higher frequencies with an appropriate degree of compression, and they also feature an awesome overdrive that's tough to beat. The 12AX7 is a staple preamp tube found in most tube-driven amps because of their high-end coloration and minimal microphonics. You just can't replicate that with a solid-state amp -- and with this super-affordable all-tube combo, there's no need to.

I had a difficult time deciding between the Super Champ X2 and the Laney Cub 12r.I previously had a Cub 10, so I knew with the Laney I'd be getting a great sounding amp. Thing is, I already have a Marshall DSL5, so I didn't need another British amp, I needed clean American sound. So I took a swing at the X2 and couldn't be happier. I was expecting a good, balanced sound based on enthusiastic reviews, but honestly didn't think it would be THIS good. The upside...Light weight, front mounted knobs, amp modeling (great modeling through the first 8 or 9, the high gain, not so much), great built in digital effects that are actually usable.The tone and feel of the tubes (valves) is fantastic. There's plenty of headroom and squish.I honestly love this thing and have no regrets on this purchase. Period.Somehow even the rather cheap and flimsy stock speaker sounds good with decent bass.My only quibble is it's inability to pull off high gain. It's really not this amps forte, but can be easily be remedied with a speaker swap, without losing the clean chimey-ness.If you don't get one immediately, plan on a future purchase of an Eminence Ragin Cajun 10" to bring this amp from merely mortal to god-like status. It now sits square in the realm of my Marshall DSL/Celestion Gold G10 when it comes to being a killer tone machine. I believe the X2 is gig worthy with the speaker upgrade within the context of the right music genre.Usefull for Blues, Modern Jazz, Classic Rock and maybe country in a intimate read more setting or small club where the quality of the music is more important than trying to blow out the audiences eardrums. It can get plenty loud and sound good doing it.I've played around with the Fuze software and if your a knob tweaker and enjoy experimentation, this will be up your alley. Contrary to other review I've seen, you CAN save the adjustments made in Fuze permanently to the amp, so you don't need to remain plugged in to the software at all times to enjoy your self-made presents.This amp has made me a convert. I used Marshall exclusively in the past, but now I have a complete tonal pallet to choose from with this addition. Extremely satisfied with this amp. Way to go Fender!
