Fender Champion 100 Guitar Combo Amplifier (100 Watts, 2x12")

Great for any style, the budget-friendly Fender Champion 100 combo amp cranks 100 solid-state watts through a number of fully customizable amp voices and FX.

Overview

If you're ready to rock, but not quite ready for a half-stack, then the Fender Champion 100 Guitar Combo Amplifier may be right for you. Boasting two 12-inch speakers and a 100-watt solid-state amplifier, the Champion 100 is a stage amp that's big enough to rock a small audience -- with two channels, and built-in digital amp modeling and effects for versatile tones. The Champ 100 is your ticket to Fender sound on a budget -- without the trouble of transporting a heavy, high-maintenance tube amp.

A Little Amp with a Lot of Sound

The "100" in Fender's Champion 100 stands for 100 Watts of power -- more than enough to fill a small room. But it's not always about power, and that's why the Champion 100 can be loud when it needs to be, yet still offers a soft and beautiful tone when dialed down, making it the ideal practice amp for the discerning musician or amateur gigger.

Classic Look -- Vintage Appeal

While perhaps best known for their instruments, Fender has actually been making amplifiers for even longer than they've been building guitars. And that's why the Champion 100 is a tribute to a classic Silverface Fender Twin amplifier. Don't underestimate its classic flair -- the Fender Champion 100 is professional-quality gear at an affordable price.

(DON'T LET THE $399 TRICK YOU)When dialed up there are so many different fender amps you have here. First off the blackface style clean channel is just amazing. id say that its a twin or deluxe especially when you dial in the spring reverb only thing missing to call it that are the speakers/tubes but fender has made it very clear they can accumulate that sound with out the tubes . I know the tubes will make a difference but not much to this amp unless you have the trained ear for tubes you can't tell.The 2nd channel with all the voice modeling Id say every setting is 99.7 spot on with the models . I love this amp .After watching a few videos online of the 100 I decided to go with it .My friend has the champion 50 so I have already played through this style of amp. When I saw the 2x12 combo version with a double channel pedal it was set in stone . I love combos more than any kind of amp . I came on zZounds looking for an amp to hit the road to the higher states of the new England area of the states in November and December and a long ride from New Jersey to Chicago and Milwaukee in January . the amazing price for a well build and sounding amp there was no way i wasn't gonna leave the website with out another toy.So after adding to the card I headed over to guitars and ordered the squier 70s classic vibe jaguar .One of my favorite things about this amp is I don't have to change out the speakers to get that sound I want. its easy for me to use because I know how to dial in the right… read more sounds to get the sound of the amps in amp unit.

Sound
With the second channel .First it had the twin reverb and super sonic voicing with a chain loop for pedals I was set on that alone. When it got to the house and realized I didn't need my pedal chain and it sounds amazing even though ill still use my pedals here and there. The bassman, tweeds , Princeton all clean or dirty are amazing to play . again to get those sounds with out the tubes and speakers is amazing.. You get volumes that punch against you that are clear without any nasty whitenoise or unwanted sounds. the dirty settings added with the compression build in make all that possible. Outta all my guitars I enjoy to plug into this amp .My 63 firebird , g400 s.g. and my jaguar

Ease of Use
Its real easy for me to get the sounds I need .I'm well aware of all the amps they used for the voicing.For new players it might take a little to understand but with no time you'll understand how to dial it in and add the right effects to the amp models to get those amazing fender amps .

Quality
Only had it for a week but as for holding it up and down 3 flights of stairs at the studio in Philadelphia id say the strap is well build . Speakers have not blown but I have not had to dial all the way up amps loud as it is half way .

Value
yes it is im surprised its not another $100 more.Wish more companies would do this.

Manufacturer Support
No problems yet . But in the past fender has always been amazing to me.
