- Killer guitar player and friendly sales pro Brian Lemert shows me the Fender Champion 40 guitar amplifier at Sweetwater Music's 2018 GearFest. We were discussing economy amps for under $250, and this is the amp that Brian gave the edge. He shows us how the controls work, and he shares some tasty licks - from smooth jazz to scorching metal. Many thanks to Brian and the team at Sweetwater. Here's a link to the amp on Sweetwater's site: bit.ly/2yG6PBy

I've purchased this amp and it is absolutely amazing. The cleans are honestly as good as a proper fender tube amp. A/B'd with a blues junior, I honestly thought the champion sounded better. No regrets whatsoever, easily the best amp you can get at its price point.
Best presentation of Champion 40 I've seen! Definitely, good choice! Thanks for video!
This whole interaction and Brian Lemert playing sold me on this amp. Best review on youtube!!
Brian is a legit player and a super nice guy. Really glad I got to meet him.
After your video on the Katana, I was inspired to buy a new amp. I almost went for the katana, but the Fender 40 and its tonal range hooked me in. It’s been a great amp for me so far.
I was and still am a big fan of the Fender Mustang series. I really liked the sound of the Champion 40 though when I heard it live. The guy in this video (Brian Lemert) is super-legit with his guitar and amp knowledge, and this is the economy amp he went to without hesitation. I'll probably buy one soon. TLG
Tony Lee Glenn which is better for the money, Katana 50, or the champion 40? I’m looking for an amp that can get me great rock tones.
Jagged One Official fender champion 100 sounds good I have a katana but think I like the clean sound of the fender
Wow, i love this guy. Even he is a nice guitar player, he made a fanatastic and kind presentation. Played the champ 40 a few days ago and instantly ordered one! He didn't shown the Metal Presets in lower gain settings, which brings also many different possibilities to customize your sounds. Absolutally brilliant Amp in my first impression.
So it’s safe to buy one.I won’t take it home to find it’s not all that good?
I play my Fender Player HSS Strat over a cheap Behringer Overdrive/Distortion OD 300 Pedal into the clean channel of the Champion 40 and it sounds really great!
The OD3 hundred pedal is awesome. Yes I imagine you are getting some great tones.
Great demo by this guy thanks for sharing
Sweet thick and succulent tone
Helpful demo. I'm getting my nephew a new amp for his birthday.
I’m seriously thinking of getting this. Just going to wait until my local GC gets them in stock to play around with it first
All you need on top of this amp would be a multi FX unit with a wha/ volume pedal and maybe a few pedals in fron of the amp & you jave it made. I think the has an optional footswitch which gors form 1 channel to another and the 2nd switch (The best part) ativates the FX loop. I bought a Mesa TC-50 for 3,500. One of the main reasons is the on the footswitch I can turn on/off the FX loop. I love this feature. If I was an amp designer or the ceo, I would put that fx-on/off on all my amps.
That’s my friends dad the guy showing him it
Literally nobody asked
Mark Zucc 🤣
I’m happy you asked.He is a cool guy.
cnniz fakenewz what do you mean? nobody asked him
Mark Zucc : you have to be asked a question to post a comment? Douche nozzle 😂
Best solid state combo in the world. I bought the 20w, louder better sounding than Mustang. Better Marshall mods than Peavey Vip1, (Bluesbreaker, Plexi, JCM800) and way louder than Marshall MGFX 30w. Modulates greatly the Fender amps, Boogie Recto, etc. Well, that is enough. I also just ordered the 40W. I tried all the others in the market and this is THE BEST. Loud, great gain and effects. I use it sometimes with an MXR Wylde OD, vut its not necessary. No, I don't have any thing with Fender. Katana sounds horrible, thin, bassy, no brightness.
Does it work well with the OD? In the clean channel or the cleaner voicings
Sir is it best clear tone amp under 200 dollar..
What are good amp settings for the various voicings on the champion 40, so say you were on tweed number 3 or british 2?
Try tweed 2 black face 2 and British 1
Gain 5
this vs any other marshall in that range?
How can i get a lead / volume increase on this amp?
I'll use channel 2 for a crunch / rhythm sound then when I use my Boss overdrive pedal to get a volume increase for a solo, nothing changes; the volume remains the same no matter how much I increase the gain or volume on the pedal.
Any advice?
Wish they would make a Fender Champion 60. Something perfectly in between and gigable most anywhere.
You do not need 60W to gig. Even 0.5W is loud enough. Mic the amp. There is no way your vocalist can scream louder than even the tiniest of amps. A loud amp will only piss off the sound guy
My Marshall DSL100HR is in the shop getting the fx loop/switching problem fixed and I -need- want lol an amp other than using plugins in the mean time. My Dsl100hr is my favorite amp I've ever owned but it would be nice to have a second amp that does the fender stuff (lol my Marshall can do the fender stuff also) but it's important to have multiple amps for times like this.
This fender amp looks like the old fender DSP sires amps of 2005 just remodeled with a 12
That playing though.
im more into power chords like for rock, can the 40 champion output nice powerchord sounds?
thanks
drew yes it can I have it and it sounds great. I play a lot of power cords too I play rock too so it’s perfect for that
I just can’t get the same tone on the British model from my Champion 40.
If you have a Fender Mustang, sooooorry..this is waaaay better.
I agree - this is better. Very cool amp.
Nope...
WATCHED IT !!
I love that you are out there checking my stuff Jay JKay! Appreciate your views my friend.
Actually, he’s a wrong, this is a modelling amp, because it models numerous amp types👍
yeah but you can't change them which with modeling amps you can modify them through computer
@@alienvolt7741 : where does it state that a modelling amp, must be manipulated/updated via a PC , to be a proper modelling amp? This amp emulates multiple amps, do it’s a modelling amp
@@alienvolt7741 : yes, you’re completely right and correct- the font of all knowledge 👍
@@bobbillnolan7644 Dude, it's a modelling amp, not hard.
WOW!
I think these amps sound way better then those tone master amps and it sounded terible I sent it back this is a better amp and it only cost around $200 bucks used I just don't understand a tone master twin cost $1000 dollars and I played it on stage and it sounded flubby I just could not dial it in and I had a Boss Katana Artist and boy that was a bummer a week after I bought it they came out with the MK2 witch had more options on it they I will have to try one of these amps out thanks for the video.
Patrick - did the tone master simulate - pick attack, and show up scuffs and mistakes like a tube amp? I know you didn’t like the sound of it, but did it FEEL like a tube amp? Cheers 🇬🇧
Can I piss off the neighbors with this ?? Fyi. I'm actually want to.
Pity you tried the amp in this guitar, not a Fender Strat or Gibson, but the video was nice
Ethereum 🎸🎸🎸
The katana 50 blow away and at $219 you can’t beat it
@Empty Skies I want a straight forward amp to use for pedals
@@emptyskies292 I agree. I bought both of these amps to try out, with the intention of returning one. The Katana is proving to be a nuissance to use and the Champion 40 is much better for clean/blues so far
too much reverb or delay
