Great little tube amp for recording!

Fender's Champion 600 is small on size but big on tone with a 5-watt two-tone amp and a 6" speaker. It's great for practice or recording. The controls couldn't be simpler - a single volume knob and an on/off switch. FENDER® added a higher-gain preamp circuit to boost the overdrive and high- or low-gain inputs for sonic options. This is a great no-fuss way to get classic Fender tube tone integrated into your setup. For tone-obsessed guitarists on a budget, the Champion 600 is a must have!

Fender Champion 600 Features:
  • Tube
  • Output: 5 watts
  • Speakers: One 6", 4-ohm Special Design driver with ceramic magnet
  • Channels: One (with High- and Low-gain Inputs)
  • Tube Preamp and Tube Power Amp (One 12AX7 tube; One 6V6 tube).
  • High-gain and low-gain inputs
  • Hotter preamp circuit than the 1950 original for warm natural overdrive when turned up
  • Single volume control
  • External speaker output
  • Brown and blonde vinyl covering; vintage-correct 1950 "two-tone" cosmetics
  • Leather strap handle
  • Red jewel Pilot™ light
  • Controls: Volume
  • Covering: Vintage-correct 1950 "two-tone" cosmetics

A small amp, a big impact.

That really aplies for this little devil. It's smooth every time and when you wanna lay down some more rockin' riffs the 600 obey's imediatly!
And for... read more [+] this budget you have a full tube amp and that's what we all want, right?

It also looks the part with that classy 2 tone 50's look. It isn't only functional but also great to look at. There isn't, and trust me on this one, there isn't a better (new) amp for 150 bugs. Buy it you won't be disapointed! close [-]

I've been playing guitar for 3 years(electric for 2) and had been using an old solidstate Marshall G15RCD that I bought from my guitar teacher (it had be sitting around for a long time he bought it in... read more [+] 98') then one day my dad and I went into a "Center of Guitar" and had were browsing when I came across this little amp. It caught my attention due to the big half off tag and it being a tube so I grabbed a Squier bullet(like my bullet but it had a bigger scale and a trem. My bullet is alpine white, hardtail and has a 24 3/4 scale its the only one that ive ever seen with all the stuff above ) and plugged it in and started playing. WOW what a difference it was compared to my Marshall it was smooth and creamy sounding and I instintly fell in love with it plus it was half off normal price come on I would of been crazy not to buy it. I play it almost every day and I use it every week for playing live and its sure loud for five watts. The only reason I didnt give it that last star is because even when plugged into the high input and cranked all the way up it does not overdrive at all it just breaks up a bit so for overdrive/distortion I use a Boss bd-2 and it sounds amazing! All in all its a great little amp with a very nice sound clean or overdriven and if it were stolen I would definatly buy another! close [-]

What a fantastic little tube amp. Unfortuantely, the trick of Fender creatingthe distortion is in the cheap stock speaker.
