General

The Super Champ X2 HD is a compact 15-watt guitar amplifier top from Fender's Vintage Modified series. It combines a real tube amplifier with modern functions, such as two switchable channels with sixteen versatile amplifier voicings on the second channel and fifteen high-quality built-in effects. You can also edit these voicings and effects to your liking on your computer via USB. The Super Champ X2 amplifier top has a 12AX7 preamp tube and two 6V6 amplifier tubes. It is user-friendly, broadly applicable and offers those coveted authentic Fender sounds.

Super Champ X2 HD: all ins and outs

The first channel of the Super Champ X2 HD offers you the characteristically clean Fender Blackface sound. For the sound from the second channel you can choose between sixteen different amplifier emulations, from classic Fender Tweed Deluxe and '65 to the modern Super-Sonic and high gain metal. Then add one of fifteen different vibratone, delay, reverb, chorus and tremolo effects. On the back of the Super Champ X2 you'll find a line output with speaker emulation and an 8-ohm speaker outlet for the optional Fender SC112 or any other suitable speaker. There is also a connector for an optional foot pedal to switch between the two channels and for turning effects on and off.

Fender FUSE software for extra flexibility

With the free, downloadable Fender FUSE software you'll gain access to more extensive possibilities to edit the amplifier voicings and effects than you would using the knobs on the amp itself. Via your computer you will get access to the mid-frequency settings and the bias settings of the tubes and the noise gate, for instance, but you can also adjust effect parameters and add them to the FX adjust knob. FUSE also allows you to upload Super Champ X2 presets that you've created yourself to the Fender community or download those of other users.

Un son plutôt pas mal, si l'on peaufine les réglage via Fender Fuse.

Je ne l'ai pas encore essayé en répétition ou concert à fort volume... donc à voir pour la suite.

Prix et délai de livraison impec !!! Mieux que ses principaux concurrents sur le net...

Fender heeft sowieso een mooi geluid, zeker als je houdt van mooie heldere klanken. En met buizen heb je altijd een mooi geluid en als je de gain opendraait krijg je een mooi ouderwets Fuzz geluid.

Het is verbazend hoeveel geluid er uit de 15 watt versterker komt. Ik heb ook nog een Vox VT40 (alleen een buis in de voorversterker), maar ze doen qua volume niets voor elkaar onder.

De keuze knop voor de verschillende versterkermodellen is leuk, maar eigenlijk overbodig. Je hebt één clean kanaal en op het andere kanaal zoek je eenmalig een leuk geluid uit en daarna kom je nooit meer aan die knop.

De verschillen tussen ze zogenaamde modellen kun je ook bereiken door een combinatie van gain/trebble en bass.

The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys. Vroeger waren versterkers van Vox (Beatles) en Fender ver buiten bereik.

Nu staan ze naast elkaar in de kamer..............

Comme déjà dit cet ampli a un son excellent. Je précise que les sons clairs sont très bons, mais aussi les sons émulés, qui eux aussi bénéficient des lampes, il n'y a pas d'étage de puissance à transistors dans cet ampli, donc c'est un tout lampes. Seuls les effets sont numériques. En écoutant les sons d'un Bassman Fender on s'y croirait ! La saturation du Fender 57 Champ est hallucinante. Les Vox sont extra et le Jazzmaster redoutable en sons clairs.
Le seul regret c'est le bouton middle qui n'est accessible qu'avec Fuse (logiciel Fender).
J'ai joué pas mal d'ampli à lampes et celui ci est tout bonnement le meilleur dans sa gamme de prix.

Ik heb deze super amp nu een week in huis en ben er helemaal blij mee. Dit is veel meer dan gewoon een leuk versterkertje.kanaal twee zit vol met nog meer super Fender Amps.
Ik heb ook al veel software simulatie versterkers in mijn Steinberg cubase DAW maar dat blijft kloten met latency. Ik was bang dat het met deze superchamp ook zo zou gaan maar daar is helemaal geen sprake van.
Het volume is ook meer dan zat voor thuis in de studio zeker maar op het podium is een dummy load ook geen overbodige luxe. Heb je gelijk een mooie balanced out. Is je soundman erg blij mee!!

Le combo superchamp XD qui m'avait bluffé, et comme je n'utilisais plus que lui, j'ai vendu ma dernière tête d'ampli pour me procurer cette tête superchamp. Que dire ?, pour résumer: Sur le canal 2: formidable réalisme des sons, simulation des amplis plus que convaincante, donc trés grande polyvalence , les effets ( Délais, réverb, trémolo, etc ), sont parfaits, et le canal 1 qui est
tout lampe et qui bénéficie des effets, a le trés bon son du Fender
Blackface, et pour finir, merci à BaxShop pour son accueil, et
son service irréprochable, avec une livraison de l'ampli sans probléme, une journée et demi aprés la commande !

De Fender buizentop super champ X2 overtrof al mijn verwachting. Het geluid is subliem en moet zeker niet voor de duurdere tops onderdoen. Clean is dan ook echt clean en er zitten heel veel mogelijkheden op. Ik had er meteen de Fender sc112 speaker box bij besteld en samen is het een voortreffelijk geheel. Een aanrader voor iedereen die een goede oefen versterker zoekt...Piet.

NAMM 2016: Extra Small and Extra Low With Peavey's 6505 Series

One is called the Piranha Micro Head, a 20W hybrid top that can practically fit into your jacket pocket. The other is the Guitar Subwoofer, a cabinet with an 18" speaker and 300 watts of power to beef up the low end. Together, they're a great pair.
