I've still got my '71 all tube Twin Reverb, but I can't play it without deafening everybody in the house. This has a nice Gain knob for some Overdrive, some pretty decent simple modeled effects for cabs and effects. A great bargain at the price, and plenty loud for smaller rooms if you want to take it on the road for coffee shop size places.

For the price, you can't beat this amp for practicing. The integrated FX functions are also a decent idea for those looking to dabble in the effects world without investing in pedals. The effects are "okay," nothing to write home about, but beginners can have a little fun while learning to play. The amp is plenty loud enough for home practice, and coffee shop type venues.

Went around the mulberry bush. After not playing electric for 45 years, acquired a Gibson Les Paul Studio ebony/black guitar from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum store, so naturally needed an amplifier. In my 1965-1972 rock days, (went Acoustic after then until now) owned a Fender Twin Reverb and then a Fender Super Reverb. Needless to say, way too expensive and too bulky and heavy for nowadays, whereupon I intend to practice/play only in one of my condo bedrooms. So, trusting Fender from past experience, went and bought originally a Champion 20. Sounded great, but being the paranoid perfectionist I am, upgraded to a Fender Champion 40, complete with Fender footswitch control. Eventually found it was more than I needed, and just traded-in downwards to go back to Fender 20 watt Champion again! Sam Ash was very accommodating in the trade-in price (after the 45 day return deadline), and now have home again the Fender Champion 20 watt amp. Wonderful amp! Amazing sound volume and tonal quality for something so light and portable and so small. Don't let size fool you, this 8" speaker amp really delivers. Recommend it highly for the home enthusiast.

Great size for a practice amp. Good features and versatility for the price.

I used to play and have all the equipment. But after 20 years of quitting I picked up the guitar again and used all I had left, a little Squire amp. Got rid of that and got this. It was amazing the difference it made! Great sounds and great variety of sounds, and you don't need effects pedals!

I use this amp to practice. It has plenty of volume, and is very easy to use for beginners.. I've always liked, and owned Fender amps, this one is no exception.
