According to the Champion 20 manual, the "Reverb+CH" section of the of the FX dial has three different effects to choose from, depending on how far you turn the knob. Closest to the "OFF" position is "Reverb + Chorus". Turning the knob a little farther gives you "Reverb Hall", and turning it almost to the "Chorus" section gives you "Reverb Spring". So it seems that it is possible to get just the reverb, without chorus or delay, in two different flavors. I've got a Champion 40 coming tomorrow. Very excited.
Nice Tele , P90 must honk At 60 , have had sooo many classics over the years , but , these Squires , the right one , are Great And this amp is now a go to for me and my Supro lap steel
Great simple explanation on what you can do with even a simple amp like this. I myself picked up a little Fender Mustang a few years back at a cash house for about 50 bucks and it was in like new condition. I also got a free download of the Fender Fuse software that goes with it. Unfortunately Fender no longer supports the Fuse software. The Fuse Software has a butt load of amp models and effects pedals. The Fuse software loads on your computer and all the effects pedals come up on your monitor. You connect the computer to the amp with a USB cable and you can control the amp from your computer set up a custom amp and effects chain and save to memory on the amp. The amp comes with about 24 factory amp and effects presets but you can override them and load 24 of your own custom presets. The Mustang comes with a built in tuner. That was the best 50 bucks I ever spent. I've been playing with that amp and software for years and I still haven't gotten to the bottom of all the possible combinations. Don't know why Fender stopped supporting the Fuse software. To me it's the neatest thing since slice bread.
I got this amp based on your vids... I love it, thank you! 2nd hand for 40 pounds, works great. Perfect for my practice needs in a tiny london studio flat with 5 close neighbours and prety thin walls. Was able to get my go to 90's brit pop/ post punk tone with just the amp. use the brit setting on red gain and volume on 2. my neghbours say they cant hear me practicing unless i sing, so does the job.
Thanks for a another great demo! And very cool for the Fender Champion amp. I have heard that Gilmour actually played a Gibson LP (w/ P90 pickups) on the original recording. Anyone else?
You might be right. I saw a video where Gilmour speaks about that guitar and it's use on The wall. Especially the solo on Another brick on the wall. The famous d minor solo we all love.
I’ve been experimenting with my MX5 headrush and o have been able to perfect many of Gilmour’s famous tones, from his early work with Floyd in 1970 to some of his solo work in 2024. It has a great Hiwatt amp model. I’ve also made a Gilmour Black Strat which helps. The Catlinbread echoerec is a must need for Gilmour’s delay. I use it for the early Floyd stuff.
By the way that P-90 neck would be perfect for the Another Brick in the Wall part 2 solo. He used a Gibson gold top with p-90s for that solo. You can achieve that tone aswell on a Champion 20.
Got a fender champion 20 for practice when people are home marshall dsl 40 for when their not lol I actually love this Lil amp super loud for 20 watts keep the great content coming loving this DG setting 💯%
Gotta try that, I am after canon rock tone. I think this is close but don't care as of now. I am using 11th option on the knob, Gain 4, Volume 3 because neighbors
I wrote down the same settings but did it on my The Fender Champion 40. I also have a The Fender Champion 10 however, it does not have the same setup. My Champ 40 with the same setting sounds great! Thanks again. Keep them coming! Can you dial up some Eric Clapton sounds?
Thank you so very much. ruclips.net/video/QOXGXySitvw/видео.html Have You Ever Loved A Woman 24 Nights. I really love the sound when he hit right at the 5 min mark.
I also have this amp. It's a crying shame there's no FX setting for just reverb but most of us probably do use reverb with a touch of chorus or phasing or delay. However, that was a bad commission on Fender's part. Not many reviewers make enough of the modelling. I find that levels vary incredibly when changing this setting but it's unlikely that anyone would want to fiddle with those during a performance. Thanks for the care and detail of your video. I have a Squier Thinline Tele and for your settings I also rolled off the guitar's tone control slightly to get a less brittle sound. Excellent job. 10/10. Bell rung ages ago.

Greeat ! I've just bought this amp and was searching for a vídeo giving suggestions of settings to use for Comfortably Numb song and your video was a good answer to that. But I use a standard strato (no from Fender, but using the standard pick-up switch) and don't have the option to combine bridge and neck pick-ups. Do you have a clue on wich pick-ups I select and how do I set tone knobs for the selected pick-ups, using the settings you presented for Fender Champions 20?
I would start with the settings in the video, and test it with your guitar, going through each position of your pickup selector switch. Find the one that sounds the best to you, then adjust from there. You might have to add a little more gain (just a hunch).
I Ben used this amp since I got it of Christmas I have it setup for my guitars and one of my dad's bass guitar it is a great amp it one of my favorite amp I use I had other amps in the pass
Hey man great vid! But, do you know how to get that tone from “This Charming Man” by The Smiths on this amp? I’d appreciate it if you made a video about it:)
Hi I've been watching your videos, they've been very helpful thank you! I have a question: how to get rid of that 'pop' when turning off the champion 20❓ anyone has information about this to share?
Mine does it too and it's really annoying. The pop is usually much louder than the volume I was playing on. And no, at least on mine, turning the gain and volume down beforehand does not help.
It's not a bad amp at all but for just 80 dollars more you have the boss katana which can have 5 effects at the same time and even 3 delays and also fuzz, distortion, tube screamer, overdrives, phaser, rotary, acoustic sim, chorus and around 50 effects more
Yeah but it’s not as simple. Some people just want plug and play. I have a Kitana 50 that’s fun for dialing in ultra specific tones, but the simple layout of my Champion makes me want to play it more.
Thanks for being open to suggestions, I'm afraid I came over a bit blunt for which I apologise, I was really interested to hear more of the tones of the amp. Regards Dave
My pleasure, and no apology is necessary. I will do more tone videos for this amp. If you have not subscribed, please do and hit the notification bell! You will then be notified when I do more tone videos for this amp!@@dozerblade

What else would you like to know about the Fender Champion 20?
How can I get the clean guitar tone from metallicas unforgiven 3?
Simply incredible. Now THAT’S how you do “How to sound like [insert guitarist’s name] without busting the bank”! Andertons, take notes!
Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
Really is a great amp. I love mine. Volume on 5 at home must be so loud. Can only put mine on volume 2 or up to 3 if no ones home
5 is a bit loud, but not too bad, and no one was around ;)

Finally, very clear tutoring
Your vids make me feel good about this amp and the guitar.

Thanks. I have the Champion 20. This helps as I strive to be a living room guitar hero. lol
Could you possibly do a video on how to get a good black sabbath tone? For songs such as iron man, paranoid, or a national acrobat
That would be fun! I won't promise anything, but I will check those tones out! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@5MinuteMusic Thanks for replying! As a beginner, youre videos have been very helpful; Keep it up!
@@andrewilliams7399 My pleasure, and thank you for the encouragement!
I used to have a Fender Champion 20 but, not anymore. My practice amp is a Fender LT25! Love it! BTW, nice shredding, lol.

Thank you for watching and commenting! I am curious, what did you notice that made you comment?
Incredible, do you know how to get a overdrive + reverb effects with this amp ? (For solo)🔥
Gotta try that, I am after canon rock tone. I think this is close
but don't care as of now. I am using 11th option on the knob, Gain 4, Volume 3 because neighbors
If i follow this settings the volumn is too large and I can blow up my roof...did I miss anything?
i love the tutorials how would i get a lo-fi sound on it
I wrote down the same settings but did it on my The Fender Champion 40. I also have a The Fender Champion 10 however, it does not have the same setup. My Champ 40 with the same setting sounds great! Thanks again. Keep them coming! Can you dial up some Eric Clapton sounds?

You're a genius! Blessings to you, brother!
well done love these budget amps
Can you do this same type of video for The Strokes?
Id love to hear a classic BB King Fender Twin amp tone on the Champion 20
Could you do this for the second solo?
Wow it does work!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for watching and commenting!

Can you recommend between this and the blackstar id core 10 or the marshall mg 15
Or any other amps around that price point??
Appreciate any help...
Hi I've been watching your videos, they've been very helpful thank you! I have a question: how to get rid of that 'pop' when turning off the champion 20❓ anyone has information about this to share?
try turning the volume/gain down
Mine does it too and it's really annoying. The pop is usually much louder than the volume I was playing on. And no, at least on mine, turning the gain and volume down beforehand does not help.
I have question please , can I put Mic instead of guitar ?
Hey thanks a lot for this! Please do a video like this using Blackstar id core 10 v3
can you tell me how to get a foo fighters "everlong" type tone with my fender champion?
Can I use it with a ukulele
Nice!🎉
Is it possible to get sultans of swing tone on this amp ?

Same here. Had the Katana 50 and found it too fiddly so bought a Fender Champion 40. Much easier.
Who's P90 did you put in your Squire?
Lollar. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you
What about Time by Floyd?
Can you review the Marshal MG15 GFX
Why does he remind me of Shaun Cassidy? 😛
To much talking not enough playing to hear the tones
I can definitely talk less and play more. Thank you for your feedback! And thank you for watching!

Playing was too short, i am not sure if it was gilmour tone or not. Nice review by the way.
All that talk for just those notes???
Great job? The amp Is bullshit. People start with small tube amp!! And buy pedal!!!! You Will not regret!
Sorry men it doesent like .
lol .. NO
