It's a fantastic Amp

by Jay from CT USA

For what it is, it's a great amp. The blackface voicings are beautiful. The stock speaker really is good I replaced mine with a Jensen and although it made the clean voicings alittle better, it took a... read more [+]way from the distortion voicings. I recommend keeping it stock. Even the tubes are of good quility. Overall excellent build quality I have had mine for two years. I've had a Vox AC4TV 1x10 for one year with nothing but issues. This is the one you want. Better buy it before they raise the price again! close [-]

The most amazing "little" amp yuo will ever hear!!!

by John from Montrose, CO

This amp has absolutely blown me away!!!! The real tube tone, Plays nicely with foot pedals or without, responds to every little nuance of your playing and every knob turn on your guitar. This is the ... read more [+]real deal. I Got rid of a vox and a cheap Marshall half stack and replaced them both with this!!! I even use it to gig, its so light and I always have a pa to run my vocals through so why not just mic this little guy too? If it is the sound from the studio, why not have that sound live? This amp will destroy your expectations and rock!!! Sounds amazing with the built in speaker, and sounds amazing when plugged into an extension cab. I can't say enough good things about this amp!!! close [-]

exceded expectations

I needed a low profile practice amp with solid tone and some usable effects so I gave the Vibro Champ XD a shot. At $200 I wasn't expecting the quality this amp packs. The fact that it's class A imp... read more [+]ressed me. The amp modeling is great, the effects are mostly usable and it's 10" speaker is lush. The build quality is typical non-American made Fender. I've had mine a while now and I've had no problems at all. close [-]

A Nice Little Amp

by Dave B from Somewhere in the Swamps of Jersey, USA
November 21, 2011
Music Background: Professional musician about 11 years. Now a hobbiest
I bought the Vibro Champ XD on an impulse. It was a great deal at the time & I couldn't pass it up.
I was never a fan of the digital effects built into the Fender amps. And this one is no excep... read more [+]tion. I just don't feel they offer much flexibility compared with outboard pedals. But they're there if you want them & do offer more flexibility than nothing.
The 16 voicings are nice to have. Though not all will be useful, there are a few that I really do like.
I think this amp does a great job of giving me the Fender tube amp shimmer that I grew up with for a very small investment
I've been playing guitar for about 43 years. But I haven't gigged since the early 80s & have sold most of my old gear including all the amps I used to gig with. Now that I'm not playing out I don't need a big amp any more & my back also dictates that. So I had tried a few solid state amps & found them okay for what I needed, but nothing to write home about.
The Vibro Champ XD, though a little weak at the bottom, gives me that sparkle that's been missing with the solid state amps I've tried.
I don't think it would be a suitable amp to use for gigs because it's not very loud. But it would be a decent amp ro record with. And it's perfect for the small living room jams I've been using it for.
It seems to be well built and it's easy to use. But the numbers on the voice control take a little getting used to before you can remember what setting is for which voice. And the print on the effects control is a little hard to read for this old man's eyeballs.
Still it's a good value & worth checking out if you need a small amp for an apartment or similar setting, or if you want real tube sparkle without spending 2 -3 times the price. close [-]
