All user reviews of 5/5 for the Fender Champion 600 [2007-2012]

5 Watt lamps.
1 x 12AX7.
1 x 6v6.

Perfect for playing in an apartment.

5 Watt tube, bottom, sending it still not bad.

UTILIZATION

One knob. Not made to be versatile.

However, if you have then the effects will last versatility because he accepts very well.

I used to use a flat but I also made small horse with a bass player and you get a loud tone with a nice level of definition.

SOUNDS

The amp itself sounds very well in his style that is in the clear.

OVERALL OPINION

I made the guitar for three years. I have a sunburst stratocaster american standard 1996 had a G3X zoom. I find this little amp very well. I've had a year and a half and I did not encounter any problems. I bought it used.

I work with a G3X zoom and I get to have that really sounds like me. I am not a professional but I think it sounds very good.

Without multi Indeed it is a good amp that only delivers clear sound. The sound is nice. I think in this range, the amps are worth little meadows thing. I chose Fender for strength and to be able to sell at a good price if one day I want to go on a 15 watts (Blues Junior or Laney VC15) to play in a group.

5 watt all-tube amp

Two inputs (high low): I admit it difficult to distinguish them.

One volume knob.

The power is quite satisfactory. Beware, the sound becomes dirty when you push too hard. I can use rehearsing, but not with a crazy drummer.

UTILIZATION

Simple to use two inputs, a volume.
The sound is great for rock, pop, hard rock .... it is not intended to metal.

SOUNDS

I was amazed by the sound quality.
It delivers a very warm sound and a great crunch when the lamps are hot. I play on a Duesenberg (Carl Carlton)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for less than a month, but we quickly found the beast.

Its major flaw: it has a really dirty mouth.

Its main advantage: despite the size of HP, the sound is really good, even with the original lamps.

I do not think it is really relevant to change the hp or lamps.

I regret the lack of tone knob. A headphone output or sound.

I remake this choice without hesitation.

Small 5 watt combo amp tube, HP 6 inches, with a volume knob, a light "crystal" red, two input (Hi and Low) and basta! really nice finish, 7 pounds, easily transportable thanks to its small leather handle: A-DO-RA-BLE!

UTILIZATION

Simple setup: set the amp volume thoroughly and adjust the sound with the knob of the guitar ... mainly played with a Stratocaster. They go very well together ...

SOUNDS

Its typically fendérien, hot, amazingly rich low considering the size of HP, crunch away. pushed to its entrenchment (guitar active EMG large, which is stupid given the orientation of the material), you will hear an early saturation of HP not really pleasant. The high frequencies are crystal clear: this is anything but a toy. it sounds really good this little amp! Does not sound absolutely not "boxy".

OVERALL OPINION

What I like most about him? its nice face and beautiful sound for the price: very inspiring, perfect for vacation! a word on the volume: bottom, you will be called to order by your neighbors, if you play in an apartment. otherwise, nothing to play with a drummer ...

This 2 tone blonde and tan 5 watt beast by Fender takes the modern interest in tube amps and throws it back to the 50s where Fender amps began.

5 watts of power into one 6 inch 4 ohm Fender designed speaker is not going to tear down walls, but it give you the chance to hear a cranked tube amp without booking a stadium tour with Neil Young!

Knobs are so easy a caveman could use this amp: Volume. Yep, that's it one volume knob. Also a power switch, high and low gain in puts as well as a speaker out.

The Tubes are one 12AX7 preamp tube and one 6V6 that drives the power amp.

I saw it in my local music shop. Couldn't pass it up. Looked cool, sounded cool and I can always use a small amp for practice or recording.

These amps were originally $200, but have come down to $149.

It's simple to use. One knob! The amp really shines with a nice overdrive pedal in front of it. The 6' speaker can offer a nice jangle.

None really. I plan on experimenting with the speaker. I have always dug what Jensen makes and will see if they have a 6'.

If Fender put an 8 or a 10 inch speaker in this amp it would have opened up more doors for experimenting.

Retro. Blonde tolex and a brown sort of suede grill cloth over the speaker. This amp is compact and you could easily hide it from your wife! j/k

Experience a cranked tube amp without ear plugs! Strip down your fancy chain of events and remember what a guitar into an amp sounds like.

5W tube amp.
Hp of 6 inches.
2 input jacks: High gain and low gain.
And just a volume knob (from 1 to 12) and basta.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration. No need for manual. it's plug n play. And that is why it is used. I turn on several guitars and suddenly I can really "enjoy" the sound of microphones on each.
You set the knob on 4 or 5, that's enough (beyond 8-10, the sound becomes rough) and was the direct sound of the guitar.
However the amp accepts pedals very well indeed.

SOUNDS

You can play all styles of music, except heavy sounds (métal. ..).
I love the clear sounds kind hot rod, and there we find this a little leg there.
As I dsiais, he accepts very well the effects, Overdrive (TS9, jekyll ..), tremolo, Reverd, delay ....
I put 8 because you lose definition when the volume cranked and even if it is not his field of use.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for more than 6 months and it is a treat to have him. I can finally play at reasonable volume at home. Again I use in a hot rod deluxe.
Most are plug n play easy to use, it looks pretty successful with beautiful finishes.
The least I can not think for now, he completed his job perfectly.
pretty good value for money. I think not move too much time.

Little amp all lamps.
Speaker with ceramic magnet
2 inputs and Micro Instrument
Preamp and tube power stage (1x12AX7 1x6V6)
High-gain input and low-gain input
A volume control knob
HP Output complementary.
It is guaranteed 2 years + 3 years after registration on the site (according to the seller, I did not already registered).
A nice retro design.
It seems that it is a replica of the 50's.

UTILIZATION

I just bought this little amp any lamp.
I broke down listening to a vendor for use in a music store.
Nothing is easier to use since it does That a volume knob.

SOUNDS

I use it for the moment with a Washburn and a stratovolcano in the clear or with an Overdrive pedal.
I find the sound excellent as its clear that when it is pushed to saturation.
If need more watts I pass by a microphone.
It's still safe, it is surprising.
I have not tried it with an electro can be original.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few days in my home studio.
I love the sound and also its tiny weight.
I tried a lot of amps and I have a Peavey Bandit 65 but not for the same records.
Excellent value for money.
Good sound for a small fee.
I would do this choice.

Here is Fender's description:

The new Champion 600 is a portable 5-watt lamps dot dun loudspeaker 6 Special Design with ceramics and magnet dun look vintage vinyl two-tone Brown & Blonde consistent with the original 1950 MODEL two-tone. With two between high and low-gain circuit pramp is more powerful than the original 1950 MODEL allowing lobtention dune trs beautiful color saturation! Plus: HP complmentaire output lets you connect an external speaker.

UTILIZATION

- 1 button - OFF
- 1 volume knob
- 1 between High-Gain
- Between a Low-Gain

The configuration could not be simpler. It is the branch, allowed a little heated volume 0 ... The amp gives a gentle purr Chapper. You go up and you get the sound right away its a beautiful lamps.

SOUNDS

Personally, I was looking for a clear lamp typ Fender to play alone at home. The power of 5 watts is perfect for this use.

The sound is superb in its dlivr clear. We get a good seed and low trs are to restoring Despite the small size of the amp.

For saturation, a prvoir effect pedals ... 10/10 when I put him-even so I love the clear sound.

OVERALL OPINION

Pros:

- Report quality / price
- The lamps exploitable home
- Look super cool
- Simplicity of use

Point ngatifs:

- In saturation, it is not top. Prvoir an effect pedals.
I use this amp for a week and I love it. I had an amp VOX AD 50 VT modlisations. This is not the same but I use prfre far the Fender Champion 600. The lights really make a grain and warmth that can not be found on amps modlisation.

For those looking for an amp with a clear lights and look nice for the house, I recommend it. J'hsitais with a Fender Pro Junior but I do not regret my choice. For cons, I stress that this is an amp for home. Do not expect to play in a group with ...

Embodies the simplicity. One volume knob, point! Live in lamps
Trs compact.

UTILIZATION

Heat is left alone and apart ... report, 2 between High and Low gain gain. Practice to play 2 ^ ^

SOUNDS

Sublime. It's hot, slamming and round once, excels with a good strat sr. Easily obtained a clear deep in the neck pickup Gilmour.
By pushing the knob in between High gain, we do cruncher lamps and is a rgal.

OVERALL OPINION

I had the Fender's "apartment" ... this little combo is perfect! Some will say no reverb, effects 0, but not its radius. She can stick a little overdrive or distortion although the vintage "Derek & the Dominoes" (The Boss OS-2 it should not hurt at all), but anything else would be around the sacrilge.

- Fender champion 600 tube. for a pre amp (12AX7) for an amp (6v6)
- 5 watt amplifier speaker of 6 inches (15.2 cm)
- 2 sortie.low and high, an external output, volume and c is!

UTILIZATION

- A volume is c. Easy and not making head!
- Enough for her apartment or room

SOUNDS

- Clear and warm! suitable for rock and blues
- I play with a jag-stang with multiple effects including an SO-2 ds-3 and a boss ge-7 + RC-2 with total satisfaction now champion600
- Very good sound hot on 7 of 9 become more saturated after his cabinet'm not the pace

OVERALL OPINION

- I have the last 3 weeks
- It is unique for its design for its size its vintage look and c is a real tube amp! damage which they do not have the HP 8-p
- I jou 2 years with an ad of vox vt-15, I could never find a good sound so many opportunities too SETTINGS! and the sound was not there!
- The report qualitprix 9 / 10
- A remake! without hsitez!

Hello all & all,
Its a small amp typ enjoyable trs trs vintage of apartments, and more if affinity not too noisy there a.
Are provided free of serious supplment as pleasant as qutonnant given size CONTROL AT & daigus this quil be mediums, real dynamic lights & all stamp & Packing Its good Fender trs good for a whopping $ 200 that will feed the new resurgent China. Made in china, also cest I got the first ignition, straight out of the box, a problem of serious cracking in my field with me. I then had a clear light of overwhelming insightful Lheureux ide to change the original to a dubious 6V6 EH (another good lamp might as well) & the problem t rsolu in Linster. cest & left as 14. It Nyal nothing to do without this excellent & trs nice little amp that I would call just good & cheap.

UTILIZATION

SOUNDS

Ditto

OVERALL OPINION

Ditto

See review previous ones.
I put 8 for simplicity is for me a real +.
Why not 10: HP output is not super acessible.

UTILIZATION

I was looking for a low power amp lamp home, I found my happiness!
one branch, it sounds terrible, and ca respects the nature of guitar parts, what more?
Note the two between high and low: a practice to keep output level homogne based microphones and guitars. allows for the high "saturate" faster.

SOUNDS

Ben has the ca t slap for me: crystal clear sound, prcis and warm at the same time, and that little push or soften just by touching the guitar SETTING THE (is the advantage of low power, they are really operates: o))
seriousness, given advice and videos on the net, I have long hsit between this little critter and his older brother, the superfield xd ...
a test, he told me just 10 minutes with each other to select the champ600.
or with the XD, I spent all my time searching for a sound that I like without really happen, I took 10 minutes of fun with live 600.

to tell you, I have a classic 30 for rpeter, and clean, I have only one desire: I plug the 600!

Note that even if 600 is not for the distortion, the HP's hard to take. for the rest, it's all good, he likes the other effects and overdrive.

but above all, be patient, it must run in the hp it gives everything he has in the stomach. Initially, the sound can seem a bit cardboard, but once hot, it's all good!

OVERALL OPINION

As they say on harmony central, it's a keeper!
a 5Watt all lamps less than 200 euros, with a crisp look and especially a p **** n's is the kind of amp that has lgue her children!

a try before you buy emergency other things with lots of buttons and the indoor modlisation o)

Small MIDI box, light and fragile. He really looks great. If you like retro, it's hard to beat.

The baby has a 5 watt lamp ... Nothing to do with transistors ... It knocks!
The operation is a basic volume, a power button, 2 inputs, Low and High gain.
C, is all, nothing to add ...

UTILIZATION

The sound is pretty stock, but there they are coupéent in quality for a good price. Speaker of shit and lamps anemic ... The rest is not bad. Ideally, you have to change lamps and HP. I propose the Mullard for lamps and Weber for the HP. + Or - $ 100 investment but well worth the trouble really, it is unrecognizable!

SOUNDS

Its very retro with a nice saturation. There is a lack of regularity in the manufacture; Some hum an aggressive, others have lamps that congnent. Some vibrate ... Not obvious at first. Once the lights changed and the HP, it sounds exellent. Boutique Quality!

This is the amp to have a Strat. It has a beautiful clean and a crunch typical Fender! If you want more, there is some modification of electronics that can give even more gain, I'll let you look ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have now been 4 months and I do not intend to abandon me. The amp is perfect for the apartment. It will never replace my Mesa but it is not his role either. It is dynamic, cool and warm. It is now my best friend. J, I tried many amps in my life and in terms of amps apart, is clearly the best I've tried. I warn you against by that I have changed a lot, it does not compare to the model stock.

Here are the mods of my little Champion:

Old-Tube Mullard 12AX7 (original 60s)
Tube-tube 6V6ES JJ
Weber SIG-Speaker 6 "Ceramic
-Changed R19 to 30K
C1-Changed 500pF/500V
Kidnapped-R7 (2.2K)

With these mods, this baby is a blast from hell!

Rock on!!

Small tube amp, 5W, between high and low, and just a knob volume. The dream!

UTILIZATION

Configuration is as simple, in fact the color of his is set directly via the knob tone of the guitar. Obviously, the power forced him to sound just stronger than acoustic guitar, but the sound is beautiful, amazing! (Accuracy: I play with a telecaster)

SOUNDS

I think we can dwell on a lot of musical style, if indeed we need saturation Do not be ... It seems it can be done by keeping cruncher thoroughly, but I do not like that sound, I have the impression that it is the HP that saturates.
When we see, there is little, like oh, it is choupinou the mini amp, what's rotten is he going to get us out? Well not at all, a lot of presence, many safe, it has a particular timbre certainly in its design. It not replace a Princeton or any other ("real") Fender, but it is surprising that quality in a small (and pretty!) Box. However, it is (of course) love the Fender sound.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for over a year, I keep it for life. It's been years since I was looking for a tube amp, very small, not too expensive, simple, and voila! All trademarks fun to produce ...
Level look, the top, as long as we like retro, I like making "HP external", located inside the unit, which is connected to the small HP Fender, not practical at all (just an extension to tinker) but in principle, I love it!
Excellent value for money in my opinion, it is not stolen, but everyone sees noon at his door, poour cheaper, there are small marshall transistor, more modern, comprehensive, very nice too, but it is not same class ...
I would much rather this choice twice a day, why not use two pedals equipped with a stereo output? Ok, I exaggerate a little, but ...

Amp lamps 1 12AX7 and 1 6V6 (I put the Electro Harmonix)
No effects loop
2 between low and high

Trs pretty too!

UTILIZATION

Simpler you die: you turn the volume and go!

Its super clear and well equilibrated trs

SOUNDS

Pop Rock Blues to play great!
I played with a Stratocaster and a throw anything Tl

OVERALL OPINION

I researched a little extra amp and I found:

- Great sound!
- Report quality / price ratio (100 today is believed RVer)
- Nice!
- Ideal for playing in that apartment without the neighbors crisent

Small tube amp Zouli very reminiscent of 50s of the same name. I want to emphasize the aesthetics of the machine, even if it's not good to love something or someone because it's beautiful. But really, what Zouli Zouli amp!

One volume knob, two inputs, blablabla everything underneath. But I what I like is the switch on / off in large steel and the red lamp that lights up when he's on it. It Zouli.

UTILIZATION

Config, we can obviously not be simpler. The hardest part is that you have to wait a while before playing it hot. I jumps up and down like a kid at all times, but the advantage is that it gives you two minutes to ask you to relax before and itches. What a luxury in our time.

SOUNDS

I'm a little surprised to read advice on "sound" of this amp as if it were a Twin Reverb ten times more expensive. Back to earth: it costs 100 euros, used nine 140 euros is the price of a good pedal! It is also slightly more expensive or same price as a modeling amp all ugly and where there are tons of effects that not sound.

It sounds, this is requested.

Well, notice the sound all the same: with my Danelectro baritone, it complies with the grave, which was not easy given the small size of HP - is the lipstick to micro? Against by several guitars humbuckers that I tested, it is too tight in the bass and it's just "saturate" the HP and often causes noise in the case of the amp. One of the posters here believe that he has rediscovered his telecaster with, I think that's the kind of guitar with which you have to play on this amp. In addition, imagine a Danelectro Silvertone with spring reverb Danelectro going well connected to this amp ... too vintage, your sound.

My only regret is that it is too powerful. Sound, spent half or three quarters of the volume is too loud for use in apartments. the crunch of the lamps, although we do take advantage when we play too loud for the neighbors, that's a shame. You can always add a digital effect or a multi overdrive for the saturation of the best of both worlds, says.

The noise I was talking about, precisely, are often the sound parts of the amp, like the cache lamps, and are fairly easy to identify and correct with the fingers and a screwdriver. Just be allowed to blunder out capacitors, before, or you'll look like Wile E. Coyote at the end of an episode of bipbip.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 15 days and I play it every day, since I use it in its "real" function of practice amp. I tried every tube amp low power (except for the Vox, which was not released yet) some time ago when I was looking for an amp to have a big fat sound. And I fell in love this amp for clean sounds simple on microphones and plastic advantageous.

In the living room with Dano put on a nice stand next to it, it's almost design and it's not even moan madame! (Home, not even imagine trying to do the same with your POV 'Microcube and your POV' strato jim harley)

Well, worry not have one? What you waiting for?

A small edit of August 30, 2009: I plugged my Jazz Bass on this amp a little in disbelief and surprise, surprise: it sounds! It's low "medium" but it's so fuzzy crunch at the least attack a little irritated at high volume, not blow it, excellent!!

Have still not a worry??

A small edit of December 31, 2009: I plugged my epiphone baritone above and this is the best baritone sound I ever heard out of a small amp no effect! No doubt the smallness of the HP gum the somewhat muddy sound of humbuckers and what fate has to sustain three hours (that's the guitar) and a sound so rich and full one would think that there is a reverb to ... Nope.

Good, but really, why do you not have one?? Frankly, what, 100 euros is the price of a multi-effect crap!!

And now I've had five months. We will marry in January <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
