This guitar amp is a reissue of the older version that came out in the 40's/50's. It's a tube amp and has one of the best sounds in the industry for a practice guitar amplifier.

The Fender Champion 600 Amp 

n 2006, Fender "reissued" the Champion 600. They modified the 5E1 (1955) circuitry slightly, switching to solid-state rectification from the original 5Y3 tube, and adding a more modern tone section, at the cost of circuit gain and vintage tone. Fender chose to remain faithful to the original cathode-biased output stage design while boosting the plate voltage to bring the output to 5 Watts. The current look is the TV-front with two-tone tolex and speaker grille cloth of imitation suede.

The Fender champion 600 amp was a "reissue" that was released in 2006 as a copy of the original 40's version of the Fender Amplifier. There were basic modifications to the 600 Champion amplifier, but it keeps it's basic tube sound. It's more or less the same amp with a boost.

Hi!

Great Fender Champion 600 review! The TV baffle always has that vintage vibe to it. Great job documenting it!
I also like reviewing guitar amps and a have a Guitar Amp Combo Facts where I'll be writing articles on some of the popular (or obscure models).
Check it out when you get a chance!
