"This deal is a steal."

Feature:
if you hate pedal wire muck and only use effects sparingly then the dsp effects are cool. They are presets but have varying settings. If they were footswitchable they would be more useful. The manual says they are but you might need the specific footswitch for that. the line out I havent tried yet but it seems like the way to go if this is all you have and you have to play a big place or record. The speaker out is accesible so you can unplug the internal speaker and connect a cab that isnt lower than 8 ohms. I tried it with a closed back carvin 2x12 with carvin g70 speakers. Once again it brought the amp to life, much louder, more responsive lows and everything I love about tube amps. But the reason I bought this amp was so I wouldnt have to lug the cab around. Thats why you'll want to change the speaker.

Quality:
This one I only give an 8 because the grill. If you have an unruly kid or dog they could poke through it easily and ruin the speaker. The fit and finish of mine was immaculate. The cheap speaker reflects the cost so that was ok. The back panels on the amp are seriously thin, like pop-tart thin, but all should be ok if your careful. I plan on changing the red light for giggles one day.

Value:
This should be anyones first amp if its within their budget. It has enough sounds to help a beginner find a tone they are comfy with so they can focus on practicing. Its tone and versatility make it a lifetime investment. At this price I would replace it immediately if it broke after warranty.

Desirability:
I wanted a combo that was loud enough to keep up with a hooligan drummer(Bonzo and Bill Ward) and a line6 lowdown 1x12 which is what my bass player uses(if you've ever heard one you know they are pretty loud for their size) and this works but barely without the speaker change and the boss superoverdrive. As is it was hardly loud enough on clean channel with it maxed. And channel 2 was only a little better. After the speaker swap and the overdrive pedal,however, my bass player was turning up his amp. That was a first.

Sound:
the sound of this amp was good out of the box. But once I swapped in a celestion tube 10 speaker it truly came to life. Ive only played (obsessively) for 3 years and Ive only heard 3 tube amps (carvin mts 2x12,vintage marshall 100watt thru 1960a cab, and epi. valve junior head thru marshall 1x10 with celestion tube 10,the latter of the 3 the only one Ive played through) in my life, so I dont know jack about jack but I know a beginner would be better of saving the bones to get this amp over any other solid state beginner amp, because if you have an overdrive or clean boost pedal you will be able to jam or possibly handle small gigs with it. I swapped in the celestion because the fender speaker farts at bassy high volumes and turns muddy. A few changes and the amp's a keeper, tube change will be next.

Ease of Use:
any one who can play a chord can work this amp, I cant get into much here because if your considering buying it pat yourself on the back. If you cant figure this amp out then seek help(with the amp or with your self). Seriously though, I sorted through the effects and amp voices in one day.

Support:
who knows? I hope I never have to find out. I just filled out the card for warranty and mailed it in.

Overall:
This is all I need for now. I will be replacing the fender 12ax7 with a groove tubes or tungsol and the power tubes with the same brand. Possibly the light. And this will hopefully be my main amp for many years to come.

"Fender gets it right-imagine that !"

Feature:
Nice throw in feature. My only suggestion would be an independant reverb.

Quality:
At this price point- NO ISSUES !

Value:
I'll be picking up another one soon.

Sound:
Killer Strat tone. Pre-amp selections offer a wide variety of the real deal.

Ease of Use:
It took all of about 2 minutes to tweak the sound I was after.

Overall:
For recording, jamming and small venue gigs, I have found THE amp.

About This Product!
Description

News
The Super Champ of the early 1980s was an up-to-the-minute take on the venerable Fender Champ amp. It contained a powerful 10-Inch speaker, large for a Champ; its new overdrive capabilities were further enhanced by the inclusion of genuine Fender Reverb. Bottom line, it had incredible gain and volume in a compact package -- a real surprise for guitarists who were accustomed to hauling much larger amps to the studio or rehearsal hall.

The Super-Champ XD amplifier takes the vintage formula into a new era by combining a real tube amp with up-to-date “extras” like versatile amp voicing and quality DSP effects. The inclusion of solid-state overdrive and distortion eliminates many of the preamp tube problems that plague tube lovers, while providing tones for rock, blues, country, jazz, metal, and more. And the Line Output and Speaker Output capabilities mean that recording and practice sessions are rockin’ with the Fender Super-Champ XD.

The Vintage Modified part comes in with a 15-Watt Tube guitar amplifier with two 6V6 power tubes, one 12AX7 preamp tube, a 10inch Special Design speaker, 16-position “Voicing” knob with a myriad of clean and distorted preamp voices, Channel switching, 16 DSP effects, and genuine Fender Blackface cosmetics.
