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.

I recently bought this amp to replace my Crate V32. I'd been having constant repair problems with the Crate and simply got tired of the cost of maintaining a tube amp. While I love the sound of a tube amp, its expensive to upkeep. I have to say that I was blown away by the performance of the Champion 100. The clean channel is very clean and perfect for my pedal board. I like the sound of the amp models but I use the overdrive channel as simply a clean boost. And it works perfectly for that. Overall, the tone of this amp is very good, with plenty of volume for clubs. It sounds great mic'd. Its an extremely easy to use amp. I bought it on a Saturday afternoon and only had a few minutes to play through it in the store. I gigged with it that night and it did not let me down. This amp is very well worth the money and its very reasonably priced, putting it in a price range for anyone to be able to afford a reliable, great sounding guitar amp. I would recommend this amp to any guitar player.
