You'll make it chug, Ola. Even if you have to turn it into an old diesel train. Chuggachuggachoochoo. Hell yea, Fender Chuglet. Like piglet, to the pig. Big Fender Chugger Head? Nope! Just a little Chuglet.
@@Septicshites oh yeah for sure! Seems like every amp company is starting to bring their A game when it comes to versatility and a blend of multiple styles of tones you could achieve. As someone who gigged with a Line 6 Spider III for almost 10 years before getting my first tube amp, I'm a firm believer in "if it works, it works". 🤟😁 Although now I have a few tube heads, I also have a Positive Grid Mini head that is one of the best sounding amps I've ever owned. Gotta have options. Always good to have the best of both worlds if possible. 🤟😁
You just took me back to my early 90s teenage years where all the punks and some of the metalheads I knew had a Champion 100 because it was the only affordable 100-watt amp you could get, and it came with the bonus of being a 2x12. And they all put a Boss DS-1 orange distortion pedal in front of it to get more gain out of it. Those older ones didn't have that voice feature at all, and the only effect they had was reverb.
I have a Front man, which was the follow up amp I think. 100 watts, solid state, loud as f, 2 channels. The clean is nice and with some pedals you could get some decent high gain sounds. I got it for 300 bucks new
This is a Trojan horse amp if ever there was one. Now little Timmy can play the clean niceness for his grandparents after church and then go in his room and roll out some Blood and Thunder in his bedroom!
This is my only real amp, I mostly use plug-ins but this amp can do a lot. I’ve also always been secretly wanting Ola to do a video on it too. Edit: If you run a boost with the amp you can get some killer tones.
@@Starch1b2c3d4a Since I wrote that comment I got a new 8 string guitar (my first one, it’s the Javier Reyes sig) and have been using the EQ Devices Plumes as a boost. I can get tones that are identical to the Mesa Boogie Badlander (I don’t believe it either), to sparkling, ambient clean sounds. The new guitar is part of the reason it sounds so killer but I’ve tried my old guitars through it and they sound amazing too. In short, I don’t feel so bad about the rig anymore lol. Eventually I’d like to upgrade my amp but since I can’t find anybody to play with, it doesn’t need to be very loud, so I’ll probably get some more pedals before a new amp. My only problem with the Fender Champion is that when I do turn it up, it gets a little messy.
I’ve been gigging with this particular combo for a few years. I use the metal and blackface settings . Threw a mic in front of it and did a rock gig a few weeks ago , it’s just fine . Most use it for jazz type gigs , turns out you don’t need to buy a bigger better amp you just need a better drummer
I have one. I have few practice amps, and the champ is by far the easiest and most convenient to use. Literally just roll the dials and go. You like yours?
@@BOBANDVEG yes I do. My go too for the voicing the green blackface or whatever it’s called and I like the Princeton. I’m still getting to know it there’s so many options with all the effects.
I have the Champ 40 version. I've used it in a pinch for band practice and gigs and it gets the job done. It won't set the world on fire but for around $100 it's a good value, and you can capture some pretty kick ass clean tones from it as well.
I had a college professor who was showing me his guitar gear (main was an acoustic head into a 4x12) and he said a frontman 25 was all you needed for an amp around the house and man was he right, that thing was loud! These smaller Fender offerings are pretty great for the price.
This is what I like about heavy music played on a Fender (when it does shug, they dont all do that): the tone is so much brighter. Cut's through like a knife and is this heavy in the low end, giving you that oompf.
I personally love the Champion 100. A giggable amp that is a great pedal platform and plenty loud. Especially in these days of digital modeling, I really don't see the point of using tube amps if you're using IR's and modeled amps/cabs. It will take a pounding and will never need to be maintained.
Had to sell my HT Club 40 last year, was looking for a decently cheap replacement with some oomph behind it. Looked at this and Katana. Still not sure which to go for lol
@@mcdingus5081 my old amp was a line 6 and after 6 years of metal love she caught fire while I was practicing, it was a sad but fitting end. The chip that caused it all was the size of my thumb nail lol, so I needed a new amp fast as I had joined a giging band and after researching 2x12 amps by brand ,cost and effects I kept coming back to the fender it does everything I need at volume plus it's an amazing pedal platform . And yes, she chuggs, lol
I have the 100w 2x12 Fender Champion and it sounds wayyy bigger. Its a pretty good amp for any style of guitar. 3band eq so you can scoop it too. But the metal channel is where it really shines imo. Who knew Fender was so Metal?
What a cracking little amp! Awesome for someone on a budget or just starting out. You get a good range of noises for the price! And it CHUGS!!! 🤘🏻😄✌🏻🏴
I think it’s good for even skilled guitar players, not just beginners. I’ve been playing about 5-6 years or so and this amp sounds great, and it’s super loud for the size, I love it- 5 stars for me. I’m a big fan of Fender equipment.
I’ve had this amp for about 6 months. I use it only for cleans for practice paired with a Peavey Vypyr 1 with an AB pedal. It was cheaper to get this than get the foot switch for the Peavey. I love this amp!
30 years ago I had an amp that size & it SUCKED. Truly, SUCKED. It made me hate playing guitar sometimes just because how bad the amp sounded & no matter what pedal I used, it sucked because the amp was just soi terrible. Truly incredible to think how far we've come in that time even with these small inexpensive amps, nevermind the guitars.
Yeah. I came here to say the same thing, the lowly cheap little Fender Champ has come a long way since I was a kid. Remember those first ten years or so of digital modeling amps? Good gawd, they were awful. The amp I actually play through most these days is a first gen Katana 50. I got it for a discount new because the store had lost the box etc for it. I don't even mess with all the whiz-bang programmable computer nerd stuff it has, I just use the front panel. Honestly, it sounds pretty dang good.
"Fieep" I'm calling home 🤣.Thank you for your Videos.They are always fun to watch, entertaining and informative in the same way.I'm looking forward to the next one.Greetings from South Germany.
I started learning on one of these in high school! It will in fact chug while you play wrongly written Metallica songs out of time, can personally confirm
That's actually good. If you use it for home recording once you've added compressors, limiters, EQ, effects inserts, compounders, an excellent engineer and a brilliant guitarist it may just do the job x
Hey Ola! I loved the vids about the JP2C and the IIc+, can we expect one where you'd go back and forth between those and make a comparison video? With an amp switcher it would slay!! I'm sure lots of us would LOVE to see that!! You rock 🔥
Impressive that Fender knows its audience in that budget range could be a bunch of bedroom twiddling metalheads. Love it. Btw... What was that Lamb of God riff around the 3:05 mark?? Very tasty
Great little practice amps, so easy to dial in tones. Simple interface, I still have a Champion 20, only modeler amp I have kept, have had almost all of them...
I own the Champion 40 and I'm quite impressed with it. I have used it in small bars and its quite capable for that setting. I like having it around now just for simple plug in and practice at home.
This was my first amp when learning guitar and at first i loved it but dude after a while of playing metal i really noticed the difference between that amp cranked to 10 as hard as possible and just the normal lead tone of a spider
I started out playing guitar again a few years ago and got the champ 20, it’s a decent amp for the price, well enough for any students and with a great tonal variety.
I know generally 8 inch speakers and cabs aren't bassy, but I have an old celestian G8L-30 from an 80's fender champ in an Australian hardwood cab, and it's actually amazing!
I got this amp for my birthday, pretty dope. I like it alot its nice and there's a lot of sound options on it which is sweet, it’s like having some pedals built into it. I love all fender equipment though.
I have this one. Had to choose between this and a Fender Mustang v2 20w, but the latter was hard to find at that time. I'm satisfied, haven't even pushed it to its limits
Laney LX 20 Fender Champion 20 or Orange Crush All 3 decent in there own unigue way, making it a tough choice. I already have Mesa Tremoverb with 4x12 but now looking for a bedroom set up. I'll be plugging in a Boss ME-50 Into it.

Bought a similar fender combo amp with a Squier Strat when I first started playing 20-ish years ago and it fuckin' sucked. Stoked to see how far these things have come for younger/newer players.
I used one of those with a metal distortion pedal the last time I jammed with a drummer (he played guitar too and it was his amp) and it sounded pretty good.
I bought a 100 used for $249...it was mint. It's just what I needed. Just add a few more pedals to dial in the exact sound I want. I like to chug and do some trippy ambient stuff to mix it up and it does just that.
The Roland Cube series is also surprisingly good. This amp is a workhorse, mine is a few years old and heavily used, still sounds and operates pretty well. My only complaint is that, technically, the max settings are 9 not 10, because 1 is "off" Edit: theres actually 3 of all of them. Also, use the tap dely. Strum, then rapidly hit the tap button. Makes a lazer gun noise. Change it from fast to slow, makes a warp space like noise.
@@DeathMetalGuitar Hell yeah! Roland is definitely underrated in the amp world. Everyone wants to talk about the 5150, Plexi, etc. Wheres the Rolands!? Lol
I got this amp and its good but I noticed when I play "Purple Haze" intro riff, the A & Low E string notes clash together and create a "warble"... ive been playing for a couple years now. this is my "first amp"... am I at the point now that I need a tube amp & cabinet? im getting good, I can play the "Fade to Black" acoustic riff almost flawlessly.... or do I need to palm mute the A before Low E to eliminate that warble when I go from A to Low E? its a very pricy question. been playing lots of Metallica, slayer, black sabbath but then Hendrix too on a JV Modified Stratocaster 60's Vintera.
practice mcpractice face :D . One of the coolest amps I tried like this was BC Rich Incinerator.. pretty neat little unit. Have a good day Ola, Cheers!
I bought a Lyon LA5 for $12 at Goodwill. It's a tiny cheap 5 watt but it can get loud and actually sound awesome when the gain and tone are cranked on a downtuned Les Paul. Cheap "shit" solid states can be absolute gems both old and new.
Actually Not That bad for a small practice amplifier. But WILL IT CHUG?

I really wish I'd never sold mine now 😕. It's actually a killer modelling amp! Fantastic chugging as usual \\M//
Why does the sound seem so compressed?
Was actually quite surprised when you turned it to the metal voicing... chugged way better than I thought it would. 😳
