Pure Tube Tone, with the Versatility of Amp and FX Modeling

Taking low-wattage amps to the next level, Fender's Super Champ® X2 amp head combines real tube preamp and power amp sections with built-in digital effects for the perfect blend of analog and digital technologies. The real mojo in the Super Champ X2 lies in the 16 selectable voicings, which give you the sound of a variety of classic amps, from classic Tweed and Blackface™ models to modern metal amplifiers. Factor in 15 digital effects and you've got a huge range of tones to experiment with, all with the responsiveness and depth you only get with an all-tube amplifier.




Beyond sweet tones, the Super Champ X2 gives you a slew of features that make performing live or recording in your studio easier than ever. There's a line output for recording direct, or for plugging directly into a live sound system. You can also connect to your computer via USB, for direct speaker-emulated digital recording. And once you download the free FENDER® FUSE software, you'll be able to edit the amp voicings and effects to your exact tonal requirements!

Fender Super Champ X2 Tube Guitar Amp Head Features:
  • 15 watt tube power amp with two 6V6 tubes; 12AX7 preamp tube
  • Voicing knob with 16 different amp types (Tweed, Blackface™, British, Metal, etc.)
  • 15 effects; TAP tempo control for delay time/modulation rate adjustments

Has a great sound thru my Deluxe cabinet and sounds incredible, a bigger sound than the Blues Jr. The 16 different amp models really sound great and the effects are awesome. This is by far the best s... read more [+]ounding amp for the money and seams to be built tough enough. If only they had included the foot pedal, I would have paid the extra, now I have to go out and buy one. Anyway go try one and see for yourself , they have that Fender all the way tone!! close [-]

Lotsa Fender Bang for the Buck

by Sport from W. Michigan, USA

Real tube amp head w/12AX7 Preamp Tube & a pair of 6V6 Power Tubes. It has 2 channels: 1 clean and another that you use for the 16 different voicings. They range from Tweed Bassman to '80's British to... read more [+] 2000 Metal. My favorites are the '65 Princeton Dirty and the Supersonic. There are also 15 built in effects ranging from delay to reverb to chorus. My favorite is one of the (count 'em) FOUR different reverbs: Classic Fender Spring Reverb. Overall, a great value with very good tone and something for every player. Constructive criticism? A standby switch would be nice, as well as a footswitch (sold separately). However, for under $300 you can't go wrong here. I have a 212 cab with Celestion Greenbacks and it sounds great for blues, country or rock. I don't think you can buy a better amp head for the money. If you have a nice cab, you should give this a shot. You can can spend WAY more for a boutique low wattage tube head (I've had a few). This stands up to them quite well. close [-]

Super Champ X2 Head makes it!

by Rich G from Trumbull, CT USA

Music Background: semi pro guitarist and vocalist
First a trivial observation, the Super Champ X2 head has the same Super-Sonic type Fender Logo as the cab and combo version. Not like the standard photos.

I've been playing guitar for 4... read more [+]7 years. (Yeah I should be better than I am.) But one thing I have always focused on is tone. Volume isn't that important anymore. I used to drag around a '65 Bandmaster which was a loud 40W of tube tone and power. Then went solid state so I didn't need to haul around a backup. That was a Fender Stage, a solid 100W with nice DSP effects.For practice I really like the VOX VT-30 with its amp models and 12AX7 tube in the power amplifier...but I have been craving the real thing again. The Super Champ X2 is a dream! Clean channel is pure Fender tube tone which starts to saturate sweetly on about 6 on the dial. Played through the Bandmaster cab (2x12) it wails. With a Gibson LP the humbuckers drive it perfectly for rock and blues. I don't miss the MID range tone control. This little monster is quite versatile with BASS and TREBLE controls. It sounds great with my Strat and Tele as you might expect. Fenders love Fenders and Gibsons and Epiphones and...

The VOICING control on CH2 is a lot of fun. It is also a clean and easy interface to a host of amp models. I am not much of a metal fan, but it gives me pause how cool the LP sounded driving power chords through this set up with both of the metal selections. The Super-Sonic setting really captures the modern high gain Fender sounds I've made playing through a 22W Super-Sonic and adjusting the CH2 GAIN sounded just like the original. The British 60's models are obviously VOX AC clean and top boost. Not because of the name, but because of the tone! Still, my favorite settings are the Tweeds and Blackface Fenders. In particular the 65 Deluxe. The effects section is really well done. Reverbs sound correct. Fender had a really good emulated spring reverb in the DSP series Stage and this is a match. I like the addition of the touch tempo for tremolo, delay and vibratone. I only wish the reverb was separate so I could mix it with tremolo. In general the effects are good. The slapback delay gives a nice rock-a-billy vibe! And all the modulation type effects can have their rate set via tap tempo.

I haven't done anything with the Fuse software yet except read the manual. It looks extremely powerful. Amp models and stompboxes can be added to and modified. I recommend taking a read of the Fuse manuals on the Fender website. For those with the Mustang series this old news but the Super Champ has an extra added attraction for me, a simple user interface. And oh yeah! A real tube amplifier to drive the models through. What you do with your fingers on the strings and fretboard is communicated with the warmth and sensitivity of real tubes.

With the 2x12 cab this thing can rattle the windows even though its only 15W. I have the SC112 cab on order and will write that up when it arrives. I really like the deeper bass response of closed cabinets. The Super Champ X2 can easily keep up with a drummer and bass player. My primary playing out these days is with a contemporary church band. Two drummers, keyboards, bass and 2 guitars as well as singers. This amp can easily fill our 500 seat venue and is light enough to keep me (and my back) happy.

Summary: light, quality build, great tube sound, good amp models, good effects, easy interface, great price. This is a winner! close [-]

Fender Super Champ X2 head

Music Background: Been playing for 50 years, play in church and blues at home.
I'm really liking this amp in head form. I had a SCXD a few years ago and traded it for a blues jr. and regretted it ever since. The X2 is basically the same amp. If you really can save the setting... read more [+] using the FUSE software, I haven't figured that out yet. I have a Mustang II and saving presets is a piece of cake. I have the 1-12 cab that goes with this amp and I'm not impressed with that. Like the XD I think a speaker upgrade is in order. I'm looking at the Eminence Patriot Swamp Thang, I had the Ragin Cajun in the XD and loved it. close [-]
