   Fender BRINGS IT with This Powerful Amp!
   This thing ROCKS! I strongly recommend purchasing the additional / optional foot switch, but otherwise this thing is 100% ready to rock right out of the box.FIrst, it’s a great looking amp with contemporary black-on-black styling.Second, all channels sound great – clean, muddy, dirty, crunchy – whatever you’re after, this amp can do it.Operation goes something like this: Basically you have two channels and one mini effects rack. Call Channel 1 “Clean” – no modulation, no overdrive, just some voltage and a speaker. Call Channel 2 “Modded” – this is where the fun starts. Channel 2 has a gain control, independent volume from channel 1, and several presets to help you lock in your tone. Basically it’s an amp emulator with a combination of amp “voicings” and effects from fuzz to distortion. You can get that neat, warm Vox tone, a really crunchy sort of Marshall sound, and more. It’s not the most sophisticated sound mixer in the world, but if you’re playing at home as a hobbyist, it’s plenty.Then you’ve got the “Effects” selector. Here’s a two-channel EQ (bass & treble) plus a host of effects like you’d get from various stomp boxes: Reverb, Tremolo, Chorus, Delay, and also a “timer” control for the Wah, Tremolo, and Delay effects. It takes a little getting used to, but once you get the knack it’s simple. The level of effect can be adjusted from light to very, very heavy.For my part: I don’t mess around with the effects too much – I have stomp boxes for that. I do like to put Channel 2 on full distortion because it gives me a toothier crunch than my Big Muff can. The reverb is excellent, so I take advantage of that, but personally I only use the tremolo, delay, chorus (etc) when I want to sort of experiment with the sound. in other words, it helps me make up my mind if I want to buy another stomp box or not (ie “wow, this sounds really cool with tremolo on…maybe I should buy a trem peddle…).It’s got an auxiliar input if you have a drum machine, emulator, or if you just want to jam a long to tracks on another device that you want to hear through the amp. It also has a headphone jack (my neighbors are grateful for that one).I have yet to turn this thing up to 11. Frankly it shakes my teeth at about 5. Given the wattage and speaker, this is probably a fine amp for smaller gigs as well as home practice.Now just between you, me, and the wall: I am a pretty low-tech sort of dude. The newer amps with all sorts of digital emulation, downoadable presets, direct-to-USB porting for computer play…it’s neat, but it’s not necessary, and I frankly don’t want to spend the time learning something I’m never gonna use. I just want to plug in and rock out – this is the right amp for that.VERDICT: BUY. It’s an excellent home practice amp, solid effects sampler, and perfectly capable small-gig amp.ALSO: Get the foot switch!

   Great beginner amp with plenty of features
   Bought this plug-and-play amp for my teen son and he loves it. It’s an upgrade over the starter amp he was using that had no features. This new amp sounds clear, crisp and has plenty of options to get your guitar sounding great. Nice purchase

   Want to make your neighbors mad?
   Years ago I bought the Mustang amp and was disappointed with all the simulated tones as all I wanted was a pure sound. Plus it was a single 12″ speaker but it could still make your ears ring. In its defense, there are a few simulated tones that were pleasing to play but most of them sounded distorted.So, the Mrs. and I got in a fight so I decided to treat myself to a new amp. After reading other reviews from those much more proficient than I, I took the plunge. WOW, what an amp. The first channel is “clean” but can still be modulated. The two 12″ speakers do not disappoint and I’m confident you could fill up most concert venues (albeit moderate size) with no problem.Or you can select the second channel and go crazy with settings I have only begun to explore. The only reason for the 4-star rating on versatility (and I think this is a small point) is that you can only plug in one guitar so you can’t “share” with another player.It’s a little hefty to carry around with just the handle as I think it’s just north of 40 lb. I’m a little long in the tooth so I had my son bring it upstairs. Plus it’s a bit bulky so it really offsets your center of gravity which adds a degree of difficulty in lifting and transporting it.Sorry, I cannot discuss the nuances of different settings so I’ll defer to those professionals who have waxed poetic about it’s capabilities. I content myself with how it projects power and clarity at low levels and makes my mid-level playing sound good. I’m confident if you want to crank it up it will take you as loud as you want to go and depending on the time of day, you may get a visit from local law enforcement!You don’t need to hear from me that you can go crazy price-wise with guitar amps but at this price point, I think you’d be hard pressed to justify why you need to spend that much more when this one can definitely carry the load. FWIW, I haven’t had the master volume above 3 so there’s a lot of “Star Trek” space left! Enjoy.

   Great sound, great price. Exactly what I wanted.
   Absolutely love this amp. Sounds great, has tons of amp models and effects to play around with and is super simple to use. Comes with a foot switch to switch channels and turn on/off selected effects. And did i mention this thing is LOUD. It really makes playing fun because it is so powerful even at low volume. I will have this amp presumably forever because it is exactly what I wanted. I could even gig with it if I ever get that good at playing.

   I bought this to gig with because it’s very light to haul around and with 50 watts it’s surprisingly loud. I’ve been using a Fender Deluxe but it’s still heavier and this amp sounds just as good. I would have preferred a spring reverb but the effects built in are fairly decent and adjustable. The overdrive selections have their own character and I’ll be able to work with them as well my pedals. I would have given the amp 5 stars but it does not come with a foot switch (which I beleive it should–Fender used to supply them with their amps and it was better for the buyer). Also, I’ve only had this amp for a week so I don’t know how well it will stand up over time. The price was affodable at $320 CA delivered.

   The Fender Champion 40 is an awesome amp!Great looking and even better sounding! A very nice clean channel and has alot of options for a variety of tones and effects to play around/experiment with.It’s also surprisingly powerful for it’s size. More than enough for at home use and/or small venues.High quality as expected of the Fender name. Awesome value for money. Definitely recommend! ★★★★★
