Fender Champion 600 valve guitar amp, 5 watt.
Guitar Mania says:
Over the past few months I've been inundated with compact 5 - 7 watt valve amps from MANY manufacturers. They are definitely in vogue at the moment. However, there really is no need as this Fender Champion 600 is PROBABLY the best of the lot. It's been a steady seller for years and boasts no bells and whistles, gadgets and gizmos. It's neither new or improved because, I guess, it doesn't need to be. If you are thinking of buying a Blackstar, Blackheart, Marshall, Vox, Orange, Peavey etc etc just try out this one first. They are reliable, well built and sound great. They don't sound "like" anything, it simply "IS" a fender valve amp, plus it looks gorgeous and trust me you won't get any complaints about having that "cluttering up" the lounge.
Fender says:
The Fender Champion 600 is a 5-watt tube amp with a 6” speaker and 1950 “two-tone” looks. We added a higher-gain preamp circuit to let the overdriven tone exceed that of the original, and we added a choice of high- or low-gain inputs. Internal speaker jack enables use of a larger speaker cabinet.
