    I found this channel while looking at a Champion 20 on an auction site. Not only is this video very informative, it is straight to the point with none of the nonsensical BS you get with a lot of other channels. I found exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for making my decision an easy one. Subscribed!

    I have this amp, and I wish I had found a video like this when I first got it five years ago. Better late than never, and this is still helpful. One thing I wish Fender had done was make the voice and effects knobs click when the setting changes, instead of having the light change color.

    I use this amp in my apartment fot Late night practice. Headphone and aux input features are extremely handy. Thanks for the tutorial. Is also a good choice for a beginner amp. Lots of flextbility with this amp. I also use a Super Champ X2 for home recording. Similar effects but with a tube power section. Handy dandy little amps.

    • @gshep42

    Yo i have a question. I was jamming at my schools music room with my drummer on this amp, orange metal channel, gain 10, and volume at around 5-6. I noticed the sound started breaking up a bit. Will it damage anything if i keep it at that volume level or higher?

      I haven’t had issues. But it is what it is with less expensive amps like this they work until they don’t unlike fixable vintage amps but they’re also a lot cheaper to acquire.
