MGR/Sean McCrory « Fender Champion 110 »
Published on 11/02/04 at 15:00I paid £82.00 ($151.57 US) from ebay. It is in perfect condition, as a practice amp.
The amp has 25watts of output power (not 75 as some people have stated in previous reviews.), with 2 channels, clean and gain. It has three equaliser controls, Treble, Mid and Bass.
Sound quality is quite good, but very dependant on your set up and pick-ups.
Im running a Ibanez S470 through it and i have absolutely no complaints.
The main features of the amp I liked were the use of two channels and an external speaker port (8 ohms) as the amp has 75watts of input power which is enough to power a decent cabinet.
Its is really easy to aquire the tone you desire from this amp, from smokey blues to heavy metal with the use of the gain channel.
The clean channel is exactly as described, CLEAN. It is quite distinctive.
The worst thing about this amp is the feedback you can recieve from, ahem, sitting too close to the amplifier. Simple way to cancel this out, stay away a couple of feet and aim the guitar away from the amplifier. After all if you are preforming on stage you are never facing the amplifier.
The build quality of this amplifier is excellent. All knobs are nice and tight and the frame of the amp is solid. Input jacks hold their own against ripping the lead from them. An amp that will last as long as your guitar playing does, and further.
For practice, this amplifier is ideal. With two channels you have a good choice in the sound you want to produce.
however as i said before, the quality of sound is dependant on your set up, but for the price you can buy a second hand one, i honestly believe you can get better.
