Hi, imho it depends how much low you’re talking about. If you’re practicing it really low volumes, I probably wouldn’t worry about getting this app. Mainly because it is a two speaker app and needs a little bit of volume to push air. It really sounds much better when you’re pushing it a little bit. Although, I don’t think it has to be that loud to sound good, the louder you get the better it sounds. However, it doesn’t have to be as loud as a tube does to sound great... hence the advantage of a solid state amp. But generally speaking, I would say it does sound pretty good at low volumes. You can practice with it without waking the neighbors.

yeah got mine for 100 pound absolute bargain, and great for gigs up to 250ish ppl the effects are really nice too, pretty much defeating the use for a pedal until you want a certain tone or you get to a intermediate tier

Honestly, no clue. I’m not even sure you would need to, for what this amp does. The only time I use a suppressor/gate is when I go full-on metalcore. And, I don’t use this amp for that.

I prefer the ST-62. Mostly because I prefer the fretboard. Although, tonally, they are pretty much identical

What is the difference in the fretboard between the st62 and st57?

@@kinfl0w the 62 I own has a Rosewood -like fretboard. The 57 has a maple fretboard. It boils down to what feels good to you.

@@walshnstuff4872 that is not really true, they have very different pickups. Look'em up.

@@kinfl0w st62s also can have maple or laurel fretboards (or whatever they replace the rosewood).

Honestly, I’m not very familiar with that particular pedal.

Because I am notoriously cheap, my power supplies are a Donner 10 input and a Hiree 7 input, both purchased from Amazon. I don’t need that many inputs right now, but it’s nice to know I have them, should I ever go wild with mini pedals. The buffers are also from Amazon. I’m not even sure of the brand, but I’m looking at them right now, and the face reads “Pure Buffer”

Not opposed to rockabilly. But, if I go that route, I go with a tube amp and a guitar a 24 3/4 scale length and P90s. And, you are absolutely correct - one can get just about any tone they want with this amp. It’s incredibly versatile.

@@walshnstuff4872 agreed. I started using my Bugera V22 in a wet/dry configuration with my Champion 100. I love it. Gives me all the amazing tones I’m looking for. Give it a shot, maybe. 😃

Broooooo, or broette. I also have a Brugera! The 1990 Infinium. And the HB Mighty 5th and the Mighty 15th. Great minds.

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of 3 saddle set ups. But, some people swear by them. I just like the ability to adjust intonation individually. Even at $110, I’d say it’s worth it.

@@walshnstuff4872 Thanks for answering! I think I'll go with this guitar

The Monoprice guitars are kinda shocking. I recently got one of their Strats, and I like it even more than the Tele. I have to find time to do a review soon.

Yup. It’s a single coil Strat. Always get that hum.

Plus sitting close to the transformer maxes the noise out ...get away ten feet and it's much better.

@@autk yup. I was pretty much begging for the hum, but really didn’t get a ton, even with a budget guitar. Just the normal single coil hum. But, I’m a single coil fiend, so I may not notice as much as others lol

​​@@walshnstuff4872Copper tape all Strat cavities and scratchplate too to kill off the buzz. That hum is unbearable. 🎸 😬

Is this compatible with a semi acoustic

I really wish they made the speakers stereo, big missed opportunity to add that as an option imo

How does that external phones output sound with another amp? Have you tried it?

@@1mihayes I have not tried that.

Absolutely. Being a solid state amp, if performs very well at low volume.

@@walshnstuff4872 thank you for your answer!

Be careful tho, it can get loud pretty quickly without you realizing it until your wife is ready to swing with a frying pan in her hand. Lol. What I mean is you get used to the volume level and before you know it the neighbors are calling. 😂

100% agree. It’s a super solid amp. And, for $399, it’s legitimately hard to beat. I just hope that Fender doesn’t abandon the Champion series now that they’re releasing more of the Tone Masters.

@@walshnstuff4872 That’s my fear as well. I love the super affordability of these Amps for those of us on a budget. It makes music and creativity very accessible.

@@1mihayes Still for sale, and plenty of them used around for next to nothing, usually around £150.

Agreed 💯 definitely!!!

I must admit that I am a Fender Champion addict. Beside the Champion 100, I also have the 20W and 40W versions. They all have the same stereo DSP inside, so if using the headphones output for connecting to another amp, the Champion 20 will do it fine.

Thank you. I really need to start posting more.

Dude, I used 10s for the longest time, and even the the 10 top/11 bottoms for a while. And then I wisened up, and asked myself why I was content fighting with the guitar. After I reconciled with the fact that it was what my guitar heroes told me I “should” do, I said “f that” and switched to 9s. I haven’t looked back. I’ll still use 10s if I tune down to D standard, but everything else gets 9s.

Thank you. I do what I can to give honest insights and provide alternatives to the bigger brands.

Very true. And, that’s if you even need to change anything. HB is also a perfect first platform for those trying to get more proficient with working on their own gear.

Awesome! Those PRS style ones are tempting, too. Especially the hollow bodies. The great thing is, they’re affordable enough to actually realistically consider. Enjoy yours and play the crap out of them!
