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

All lamps, a single button, small, a pretty face, 5 Watts ...... That's all I
Made in China, like dja less ...

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use.

SOUNDS

The first I reu, its not super sizzling, humming, and there are serious as you push too much on the mdiator (APRS they saturate). The problem is that this wonderful device has hard as 2 or 3 hours! Addition to its ... Yet I do not jou bottom. So I return it and I reois a brand new all beautiful. This one purrs!! So to use that I wanted to do, namely, registration (but fun to play too) it''s not good, push the knob more than half for the signal to noise ratio is mdiocre. Can not play with your fingers. This amp makes more noise than my old GEM 15 watts (1969 or 1970). In fact it's cheap, it's made in China, and it is not reliable. I have returned.

OVERALL OPINION

I therefore CHARACTERISTICS of this amp but not the finishes that are at least a random image on the other amp.
Under these conditions the ratio quality price is not NEWS.
No I will not repeat that choice and instead point me to a head piphone (made in china too) that users do not DCEL of pb appears.

Modified: I finally opt for the epiphone valve junior head and I do not regret it, much more reliable and pchu, but a little less warm.

Little amp lamps, a priori cheap ...

UTILIZATION

Its nice to plutt departure. Use in an office of 6 m2.

SOUNDS

I play in blues-rock. The BTE is connected to an Epiphone LP Custom non traffics, and the fact!

OVERALL OPINION

One month of use "light" and the middle of a nice riff: boom, more sound, smoke, and not feel good ...
Amazing is not it? !
Apparently I'm not the first ...
Rsultat if I do not want to be out of my pocket, I have to go dbrouiller Paris (I made the mistake of looking up from the Lyon, with a specialist in the amp lamp (when it was free and the port that I have not had a reduc ...)).
In short, at best, it seems to me we will change against the same ... Super!
It's going to be dr to still have confidence ...
In short: never has, despite the sound quality!

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

Amp 5W lamp. 12AX7 and 6V6. HP6 ".
2 between high and low.
His (only) large default is described derrire box: Made in China.

UTILIZATION

Use more than easy: you plug it is expected that a heated and plays. And as the sound is better and better as time passes, it becomes difficult to s'arrter!
The manual does not sensitize the Owner 'small prventions use on amplifier lamp avoid shock hot lamps ... In this connection the amp is not a quip standby.

SOUNDS

Its great for the price. It's mid-volume lens, a crunch 2 / 3 and APRS is a bit too much (on High). His default sound: it lacks bass (HP 6 "), but an amp is less than 150 DLIR and fans can connect it to a large HP +.
The lamps give a warm, alive and changing all the shots mdiator (all errors as well). The sensation is enjoyable trs (not for error but it would be wrong to blame the amp).

OVERALL OPINION

Reu 1 week ago I was captivated by the sound, cot rtro and simplicity. I used an Ibanez TS pedals OD / 9 for a great report.
It would gain power switch offer.
the ratio q / p is INESPRE prs that this comes from China ... I would have put 60 more badges to view Mex.
If I redo the choice ... so for sound. However, I would see just before the amp o Competition (vox).
I just sold a small voxDA5 (transistor / modlisation / effects) and I think the fender bcp simple and usable, providing a cleaner and more sensitive. A must!

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="" />

add nothing: two entries - one volume knob - Switch 1 - lamps - a baffle

endpoint

For what it is made simple and it was good

10/10 in the category to the point

UTILIZATION

Configuration? A manual? Easy to get a good sound?

it's a joke?

A flashlight is a what? is the same

SOUNDS

Trs versatile for all styles of guitars clean crunch. What it does it does well and it's cool.

OVERALL OPINION

I make a living amp (its usefulness is everything:

* I connect my analog synths two in each entry: cash it without problem, obviously not if you push the volume to del half. But in a salon is very good dj (really) half and remains clear and warm trs.

* I branch too loose, my Gibson ES125, Yamaha SG 2000, Start, Telecaster ... Sometimes a keyboard on one between a guitar on the other, or all possible configurations. And if you know settle the knobs on a guitar and play with the volume of the amp can do anything in the range of the typical Fender.

Configuration with which it works wonders: Start - (or Roland SH1!) - EHX Memory Man Champion 600 ... the singing was

If only one remains in power of reserves, the cash trs well before reaching the "sweet spot" that begins to vibrate throughout the cabin ... but before reaching this point the volume is too loud for a dj show ... less be Shared with hardos.

I love this little amp: it's cute, trs sounds good, super convenient to get a plaiz MODR volume (that is not a 2 body), trs versatile in the field clear - crunch - the dirty old.

For me it is the best solution compared qualitprix / sound / look to play without shitting his entourage with his right lamp trs

This is an ideal practice of recording amp. It comes in at 5 watts and has a solid Fender tone reminiscent from the 50's and 60's. It even looks like it was from the 50's. This is a cool little amp for those guys who like a nice clean tone that sounds like a small little Fender champ amp from the 50's.

SOUNDS

For me the only real use I see out of this thing is if I wanted some mild overdrive or basically a clean small box Fender amp for recording. The cosmetics of this amp are very cool and nostalgic, but that is where I leave it. The amp takes pedals really well and being a tube about for the price it is makes the sound from your wallet a lot more pleasing.

This amp takes guitar and effects really well. It does sound small when you play in since the speaker is only 6inches. The amp only has one control knob and that is volume. It has two inputs for high and low. You can get some dirt on your tone if you have it full blast and at 5 watts it's not going to be that loud.

OVERALL OPINION

I like this amp for recording. At new they come in at around $170 which is a cool price for a great sounding tube amp. I would recommend this to anyone needing a small tone for practicing or recording. It is a great buy for the money and will serve anyone quite well.

Adorable All tube amp with a superb leatherette coating including the handle, two inputs High & Low, a volume knob and a switch ON / OFF.
End of control panel. Oh yes, a big red light when the switch is ON.
1 ECC83 in preamp and a 6V6 power. Made in Asia recess saw the price where it is displayed.
A tiny HP 6 'to give voice and that's all.
Nickel finish, I'm hitting a good number? I do not know.
An exceptional value for money for those who like his Fender.
A good 8 / 10 deserved.


UTILIZATION

Ben, should not be out of St. Cyr to have a good sound, it is there right away, even at low volume, the light is extra.
It agrees rather well Overdrives (TS9, plexitone and OCD), the Fuzz (Big Muff) not really. No big distortion at home, so I do not know how he behaves with this, but I guess it's not really his thing.
Good to know, very very hard to crunch the beast! With simple, almost impossible task, with double, you really send it! Knob was 12 and still, it's still shy. ... Even the SG rowed on this one! There's the explosion and big ceramic gets there before the switch ...
9 / 10 because even very simple and ideal for doing what it was designed, namely repeat at home, little buddy see beef between small gig in a bar in a pinch.

SOUNDS

there's only sound, it is clear, it is beautiful and with a small OD is downright great!
Bluesy at will, he viciously slap with Dano pro, but his favorite guitar is the Riviera.
Sound warm, velvety, light chorus between the two and that is happiness.
For a more bold, I plug an OD between the guitar and the amp and it rolls.

Config favorite when I'm on the go, the fender, the junior and the ancient home of UE 300 Ibanez. The clear sound of the fender just raised a slight chorus (CS9) and that the fact bluntly ... for more fishing, j'enclenche the TS9 and there, it severely burnt fat!
For the solos, the CP9 and j'enclenche zou, just the boost needed to grow the OD as it should.

Of course, this has nothing modern, minimalist and ultra is the grain that comes out is very vintage, so for those seeking a modern sound, or full-grain effect or different, it is surely not the most suitable amp.

In addition, its small HP's still pretty limited, pushed to its limits, it tends to vibrate slightly. On mine as soon as I go over three quarters (already strong in the apartment ..).
8 / 10 deserved


OVERALL OPINION

Voila, super amp flat, simple, well built, well-focused, beautiful sounds, agreeing rather well the OD and other chorus, ideal for work at home, or walk this lightweight.
Before I carried a 30W lamp to go play with some mates and weight issue, it is day and night ...!
So, yes, very happy with this little creature, he accompanied me for almost two years, nothing special to report, it works like new.
Both entrances are well proven in practice a day or a mate, the amp is loose, and neither one nor two, connects to the champion and full ahead!
Ok, the sound was not sublime, but in his dining room was better than passable.
and with hindsight, I would resume without a doubt.
A good 8 / 10 overall.
