News
A fun and affordable tribute to a rare and historic Fender amp. The new Champion 600 is a 5-watt tube amp with a 6 in. speaker and 1950 “two-tone” looks. Fender added a higher-gain preamp circuit to let the overdriven tone exceed that of the original, and they also added a choice of high- or low-gain inputs. Internal speaker jack enables use of a larger speaker cabinet.

Features:
Tube Preamp and Tube Power Amp (1 x 12AX7 tube; 1 x 6V6 tube)

5 watts into a 6 in. Special Design speaker

High-gain and low-gain inputs; hotter preamp circuit than the 1950 original for warm natural overdrive when turned up

Single volume control

External speaker output

Brown and blonde vinyl covering; vintage-correct 1950 "two-tone" cosmetics

Leather strap handle

Red jewel pilot light

Fender Champion 600 Guitar Combo Amplifier (5 Watts, 1x6 in.) Reviews

"Nice big sound, small price/package"
Feature:
Obviously it only has a volume knob. But the sound is so well balanced I don't feel the need for more. Would have been nice to include gain and reverb, but thats just not the point of this amp. On the nice side, the internal jack for use on a bigger cabinet is a great idea. And the faux-sued screen really helps the sound. To get a ten, this amp would need gain, reverb, and a power cable that seperates from the unit.

Quality:
So far so good for me. Never had a problem. Fender didn't cut corners to save themselves money on this one, they just made it tiny to save you money.

Value:
Amazing price for a tube amp. But I saw the Epiphone blues junior thing for 40 bucks less. Haven't gotten a chance to try it out but I usually like epiphones.

Desirability:
I love the look. Took points off because I don't get why the volume and input are on the backside of it, maybe so you can point it towards others. It makes it look weird to me.

Sound:
High input sounds great, low is a bit mild but still very good for clean sounds. Obviously, this amp makes one kind of sound. Just one, so don't go looking for variety here, and definitely play one before you buy it to see if you like that sound. I sure do though. This would be a pointless amp for anyone who wants to play metal or hard rock. Its more suited for jazz and blues. Although I have a grilled cheese danelectro pedal which sounds great on it.

Ease of Use:
How hard can it be? switch it on, turn it up. Takes a second to warm up, the price you pay for great tube sound. Oh yeah, don't forget to plug it in I guess.

Support:
The best support is not needing any.

Overall:
This is NOT the only amp you'll ever need by a long shot. At some point, you will need something bigger and with more features to fully explore the sounds your guitar can make. That being said, this is a great supplement amp if you've already got some big guns and you want a fantastic little amp, and a tube amp at that, to tool around with.

"This amp is not a toy!"
Feature:
Not a lot of features here. This is a simple amp that does an excellent job.

Quality:
Very nicely put together. Looks like it is built to last. It seems heavy for its size. Dosn't feel cheap.

Value:
$199.00 is an reasonable price for an amp of this quality.

Desirability:
I own it.

Sound:
This little amp gives nice smooth overdriven tones and also produces an awesome clean tone with virtually no hum or noise. This 5-watt class A tube amp is very loud for its size.

Ease of Use:
Can't get any easier, just plug in, hook up the guitar, turn it on and play.

Support:
I've owned several Fender guitars, basses and amps over the past 30+ years and never needed to call Fender support. Their website provides many resources.

Overall:
It looks and sounds great. The fact that this amp is so quiet (no hum) means it will make an excellent studio recording amp.
