Man you are the only one that showed how great this amp can be... I'm glad I bought it. it's coming in a few days. I can see it will be great for practice.
I own one and one thing that I love about it is its weight.....very portable............being a Fender afficionado for years, this amp just amazes me by its tone....and it takes pedals very well
Allow me to note: Those types of knobs are perfect on the selection switches - but can be risky or even a disaster on the other rotary controls on a 50W amp, because it is just way the heck too easy to bump them into a quarter turn, or even further. If I had that amp I'd immediately replace them. Those knobs are very common on pedals and some effects devices which is how I gained experience enough to mention it. Very good, clear amplifier review.
I just purchased my first Fender amp in 30 years and I have to say, they have the best clean tones I've ever heard. The amp is the Ultimate Chorus 2x12 and it sings beautifully. For 3 decades I've incorrectly been playing through Marshall and Crate.
Old video i know, just purchased this amp and am really impressed. What you get for the price is a phenomenal amp. Especially when you consider that most pawn shops have 20 to 30 year old practice amps sitting around and still want 200 to 300 dollars for them. Fender got it right with this one!
The big question! Does one want a modelling amp like the FENDER MUSTANG GT 100 with all the “bells and whistles”, limitless presets, Bluetooth & WIFI connectivity, on board tuner, LED screen etc etc etc OR a simple “plug and play” with beautiful Fender clean tones, a few amp models and presets but with a better 12” Midnight 60 Celestion speaker, open backed with warmth and room filling capacity, not boxy, truly giggable, the new black face FENDER CHAMP 50xl? Yes. unhyped, under the radar and cheaper and better!? No 10 second warm up no need for hours of knob fiddling and hours spent finding the “right” tone? I want a versatile amp that’s simple to use with legendary Fender clean tones without the LED screen (hopeless eyesight) whereby every note I play in a chord is crystal clear👍...and it’s cheaper!👍
hell yeah it's a great practice amp.....no need for tubes unless you are a gigging musician....lots of good "modeling" amps out there....lots of effects... AWESOME 12" Celestial as well......
I have one of these and I love it. I have it paired with an orange crush 35ldx. The combination of the 12 inch celestion and the 10 inch voice of the world speaker really accentuate each other. It’s like the fender puts all the pretty high end frequencies back in to my sound. Play a telecaster and run a pedal board into the front ends (the pedal board is all overdrives and distortion s lol). I am in love with the clean+compression setting on the champion.
I have an old Vox VT-20+. Where delay and reverb can be added individually and also the amount of it. I just bought the Champion 40. On the amp selector a light shifts color when you dial the knop for different amp types other than the ones you see on the panel. Read about the models in the manual. You can also use the reverb alone as the light shifts color when you go from the combined chorus/reverb to the reverb by itself. Same as with the delay. You can use delay without reverb on it.
Great first amp for someone learning, big improvement over the practice amps of of the late 80's early 90's haha. A good sounding amp when learning is worth it's weight.
I think personally if I owned this amp and decided to use delay pedals and such I would just use the amp as a "clean" platform and get my dirt from a pedal. That way I'd be able to chain my FX any way I chose.
Any person with a little intelligence would use these amps for the speakers only and run everything else through pedals. Just like I use a Spider IV only for its amazing 2x12 Celestion speakers. I got the amp for $150, like-new, so I only use its speakers. Don't even dare to touch the horrible built in effects
@@soullessSiIence Same here, have also a Line6 Spider IV 150W, only for clean gigging, bought new for about the same price from a young guy that gave up on guitar. However..i bought this XL50 an hour ago, because off the great headroom vintage tone. And just bought also a Mooer GT200.
@@soullessSiIence I actually decided to buy the Fender Champion 50 XL because of its clean tone. I read lots of comments talking about the poor metal distortion, but dude, just plug your own distortion pedals on that beautiful clean sound and you will get your perfect tone. I never choose amps based on the presets, but on the cleans.
My brother bought one and he likes it a lot, but only uses clean tone, no effects. Thanks for posting. It's similar to my Vox vt40. Your getting some real cool tones from this one.
It looks like a great amp for beginner/less experienced guitarists who want to experiment with different tones and effects without spending a lot of money on individual pedals. They can find what they like, then get the corresponding pedal.
Or someone like me who lost everything. I'm a very good player . Back in my feet now and but a used Mexican Strat for $ 150. Gonna check it out in person . I sound the same with any gear. My tone comes mostly from my mind, heart and fingers. Max said it was loud. I'm a metal head . Loud is good.
Workin man line is perfect too for SS. Ive had a ampeg ss 70 .it was a combo that went through the bus fire. I pulled the tray put new knobs on it and built a wood box made it a head
Not a bad sounding amp to drag to auditions or jams! For casual stuff, a loop probably isn't mandatory anyway, just stomp a dd pedal & flow with it ;) Great vid Max, keep em coming!
If it’s as tough & sturdy as a Fender H.O.T. Amp then it’s a winner! I had one forever & the only reason I left it behind was because I blew the speaker 🔈 on it playing bass! It was a great amp w multi channel options & built in effects that were limited control wise, but sounded great regardless. Good Demo👍🏽
Great video. Question. I'm new to playing and have a fender champion 100 and a fender front man 10. When I try to play the solo on nothings gonna stop us now I'm not able to get the sound nearly loud or full enough with the volume way up. Are there settings that are likely not where I need them to get the sound on the bends?
Leave it up to Max to bring us another very affordable product and entertain us all with his majestic guitar skills! Never disappointed! The amp sounds really good!
Hi... I hope you could review the Nux mighty 30se.. A budget friendly modeling amp but nobody did a review of it... And i really like how you review things... Hope tou could notice this comment :)
Mr. Mac's you always do a great job and I watch your channel weekly but one must admit at least in the US the 50 is a nice beginners amp with a warranty I hope but most of those people would rather have say eighty-something 40 below watt tube Peavey or 65 watt banded not that I like Peavey so well that just the best amp for the money and everybody else can take her warranty and keep it I'll take my good cheap amp after all it's in our hands keep up the good work
Consequently I do own original sobertec midget 50 red face less than 20 hours can you explain the best way to run a FX effects Loop and different ways and advantages I would love your input and please do a article for us you're the greatest keep up the good work
I want to try this amp....I do. I just don't think it's where I want to be in comparison with other amps I have....but I REALLY REALLY want to check it out based on your review. sooooooo tempted. I think I'm going to have a Twinkie. GDIT
Hey Max, great review just like every other video that you do! I'm currently thinking on buying a " KUSTOM KG100 212 BK COMBO ", it's a 2×12" 100w amp that I found on thomman for 199€! It has great features, including built in effects , and I'm currently playing a HARLEY BENTON SC 450 PLUS that cost 170€ , plus cables it's still a rig for around 400€ that you could use at home or play in small clubs. ..could you please try to do a review on the amp? Thanks
Hi max how was your thanksgiving? I hope well I love ❤️ the clean tones they are very inspirational I can see myself putting this in a combo amp rack with 3 other combos and use a switcher to toggle between the combo amps for a pristine combo amp style clean thank you 🙏 so much Max
Guitar MAX good morning Max Today I’m shooting a RUclips video for the Waves GT3 plugin and a guided amp tutorial for Facebook livestream and I was wandering if you would be interested in a collaboration video of some sorts and quite possibly a guest appearance in one of my live-streams
I actually like everything about this amp but the clean. It's really punchy and I could not get it to smooth out. Playing active pickups through the amp could be the problem maby if I had some single coils to try out it would be different. But the effects are pretty sweet! And for a solid state amp the dirty side of the amp really is a eye opener!
The big question!

I set my delay in front of my amp. Ik everybody looks for an fx loop. Buttt it is possible to get a good delay in front of the amp with dirt pedals without problems . My concern is how good can this amp handle high gain pedals in the clean channel?🤔
Well man you are one day late. I almost bought this amp but I went with the new Yamaha high gain thx 10. I thought it would be more apartment friendly. I play metal and hope I made a good choice. The fender seems great and is almost 100 dollars cheaper. Man I've been searching for the right amp for years. I don't play out and all my guitars have either Dragonfire or Duncan's. I do have one black dinky with EMGs. Thanks dude.
I got a TH10 (std) recently. The reverb on that thing is amazing. Big sound for apt living and has an effects loop. The Fender Mustangs are good too if you need a 2nd "regular" amp....for $100 or so. (I got one used for $40 ....was a no brainer). Has good cleans and nice AC30, twin reverb, Bassman models, etc. Seems more appealing than this one. Even it is way louder than I need for an apt. 50 watts seems overkill.
@@stevef4010 Yea man I had a mustang 2. It was ok. Had one clean and one dirty channel I liked. I don't use anything else. This Yamaha will be here today. Bought it from Zzounds. I've got a Randell rg80 now and it's dark sounding at low volume. Its hard to keep it not to loud. Man I hope this new amp is ok.
You definitely made a good choice. I own both and prefer the champion, but I don't have to really worry about neighbors. The champion gets LOUD and is very bass heavy IMO. The Yamaha sounds great too, but just doesn't have as big a sound. Only reason I like the champion.
So how would say this amp compares to the Boss or Black star in the same price point?? I’m looking into a nice 15 watt mini Orange or something on that line
I’m not a tone snob, I want something easy to get good sounds from (sorry Katana and Vypyr, I suck at menu diving and apps), I like to play quietly (sorry 99% of tube amps) and I’m a father of 3 so I don’t have much extra cash. This seems perfect and I love fender so win-win.
really nice sounding for the price ! Now I wonder if it's better than a boss Katana, which remains a reference in termes of affordable combos. Thanks for this demo and, by the way, your T shirt is great, I need the same !!!
If that is anything like the FM line then the "clean" chan was unusable so I used to put a dirt pedal in front of it and use the clean chan as my dirty channel and then turn the gain down on the twin setting of the dirty chan and use that clean.
Dude, continue to showcase the cheap options, the honest reviews you do are awesome, and the broke DIYers out there seriously appreciate it!
Man you are the only one that showed how great this amp can be...
I'm glad I bought it.
it's coming in a few days.
I can see it will be great for practice.
I own one and one thing that I love about it is its weight.....very portable............being a Fender afficionado for years, this amp just amazes me by its tone....and it takes pedals very well
Fender has a history of producing great sounding amps. Can't go wrong with this unit. Great speaker chouce.
Allow me to note: Those types of knobs are perfect on the selection switches - but can be risky or even a disaster on the other rotary controls on a 50W amp, because it is just way the heck too easy to bump them into a quarter turn, or even further. If I had that amp I'd immediately replace them. Those knobs are very common on pedals and some effects devices which is how I gained experience enough to mention it.

Ok, this was the best review of this amp so far, i didn't know 50xl can do this, now I'm gonna buy it without any doubt.
Just got one. I'm a jazzer and this is a great amp. I use my Fender 65 reissues for gigs but this makes a killer practice amp.
Fender just notified me that you uploaded a new vid 😮 youre blowing up bro
Ben Asslick Yeah it's about time
those pecks are blowin up

Sounded great to me! Very Fender-clean, and the distorted channel sounded acceptable too.

My pedal board will handle the rest.

Great review on a budget friendly fender.thanks so much.I think it's what i may be looking for
Thanks brother, ordering mine in tbe morning !
Are we going to get a better look at that les paul shaped guitar?
Agreed , that guitar sounded awesome and prettier then most of my dates !
It has a whammy bar.....look away!
Burny les paul
It's a Harley Benten SC Custom FR
I think its ESP, u can easily find it on the ESP site
The amp you have dialed in nice. It sounds great! You had me at Strat 😆 both guitars sounds amazing!
Very Good Review Of A Very Nice Fender Amp, thanx
That’s fucking awesome! Thanks Max!
in casual mode, max now has biceps bigger than mark wahlberg!.. + that shirt.. that is stellar!..
British plus Reverb and delay sounded sweet.
The champion 100 is even better
Champion 100 or Champion 100XL?
It should be...
Sounds really good for a little amp. Amazing actually
Damn he's got perfect hair!
I just tried a student's one of these, and there are 3 different sounds in each of the Voice sections. I'd like to see what the footswitch can do...
Probably the homliest Fender amp I ever seen but sounds good.
Nice review - thanks !

Great video! You won a new subscriber! 😎
Cheap but good and usefull. Thanks for the news.
That's very similar to the FM65DSP that they made about 10 years ago.
How is it when you play? Is it solid-state stiff or does it have a tube feeling? Squishy when you squeeze the notes? Sounds good for the price.
My gawd - that's a $300 guitar with a Floyd Rose!
Is this better than the champion 40 in your opinion?
I super-appreciate this.
Dude that shirt..Cool. lol
@ Elite.....right?????
It's a bit dated. There's 3 blacks that are blacker than black now. 4 if you count the newer version of Vantablack as two separate colors.
haha....@@ViviSectia
It's cool if you're 15, not 40 and still long-haired
And clean shaved too. Screams mid-life crisis
What fender model footswitch is used with this amp?
IMPRESSIVE !! AFFORDABLE !! COOL !!

Playing active pickups through the amp could be the problem maby if I had some single coils to try out it would be different. But the effects are pretty sweet! And for a solid state amp the dirty side of the amp really is a eye opener!
Honestly I feel like this thing is best paired with single coils, the clean works well with my tele
That Midnight speaker is nice
Pretty nice amp-I want one
WHERE DOES ONE GET THAT SHIRT?
According to the manual, positions 8 and 9 on the FX Select knob give delay options without reverb!
There's a manual??
Exactly. It's nice to have read before demoing😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great time to be looking at buying affordable Amps . Katana , Champion , Mustang , even Peavey have got a couple of cheap offerings .
Never been a fan of the built in effects. Especially the Reverb/Delay. Nothing sweeter than fender spring Reverb
The big question!
Does one want a modelling amp like the FENDER MUSTANG GT 100 with all the “bells and whistles”, limitless presets, Bluetooth & WIFI connectivity, on board tuner, LED screen etc etc etc
OR
a simple “plug and play” with beautiful Fender clean tones, a few amp models and presets but with a better 12” Midnight 60 Celestion speaker, open backed with warmth and room filling capacity, not boxy, truly giggable, the new black face FENDER CHAMP 50xl? Yes. unhyped, under the radar and cheaper and better!? No 10 second warm up no need for hours of knob fiddling and hours spent finding the “right” tone?
I want a versatile amp that’s simple to use with legendary Fender clean tones without the LED screen (hopeless eyesight) whereby every note I play in a chord is crystal clear👍...and it’s cheaper!👍
Can you Please review any good Acoustic Guitar Amplifiers, Thank You.
As a poor metalhead I love this thing
I set my delay in front of my amp. Ik everybody looks for an fx loop. Buttt it is possible to get a good delay in front of the amp with dirt pedals without problems . My concern is how good can this amp handle high gain pedals in the clean channel?🤔

it was cheap for a reason. i got one of that at first couple of min it sounds great. but in the long run the sound beacme thinner.
Definitely a solid sounding amp. What is the black singlecut you were playing in the metal section?
If i was going solid state which i likely am going to add to my amp arsenal it will be the Boss Katana. It's a no brainer.
Its operation will be familiar to anyone who has a Champion 20 or 40, which are well-regarded in that class of amp. Is it meant to replace the 40?
Nice guitar build.
I’m not a tone snob, I want something easy to get good sounds from (sorry Katana and Vypyr, I suck at menu diving and apps), I like to play quietly (sorry 99% of tube amps) and I’m a father of 3 so I don’t have much extra cash. This seems perfect and I love fender so win-win.
Nice amp for the money. Does it take dirt pedals in the front well?
Awesome!! !
Max i like Line 6 75 watt spider 3 it sounds much better with more control on tweaking but that is just me rock on guys .......
really nice sounding for the price ! Now I wonder if it's better than a boss Katana, which remains a reference in termes of affordable combos. Thanks for this demo and, by the way, your T shirt is great, I need the same !!!
Nice amp.
Is there a difference between clean on clean channel and clean on drive channel?
That Amp for that PRICE is fantastic
Could a delay pedal be used with built-in delay on top?
Do you like this Amp better than the Fender Champion 40?
If that is anything like the FM line then the "clean" chan was unusable so I used to put a dirt pedal in front of it and use the clean chan as my dirty channel and then turn the gain down on the twin setting of the dirty chan and use that clean.
It'll probably replace the champions 40 which is a good amp! Just hope it doesn't cut off when it is hot! Ny 40 had that problem!
