In another post here I wrote about getting a Fender Champion 50xl amp from my wife for my birthday. Well after a few months of me and the amp not getting along so well, and some technical issues, I sent the amp back in exchange for a Fender Champion 40. Much happier now. I like the more retro Fender look of the amp. Virtually the same features as the Champion 50xl. Easy to use and get some good tones with. Loud...oh yeah. It has the stock Fender speaker in it over the Celestion the 50xl had. Honestly, it meets and exceeds my needs.
