Hello Amplifier Forum members!

I would like to share with you all my recent purchase, a nice new Fender Super Champ XD:

Overall I am very pleased with the amplifier. It compliments my stratocaster very nicely, and I believe it holds some really nice value on the dollar. I am one who appreciates solid-state overdrive (you know, just that nice bit of fuzz in the mix). It's also possible to switch over to the clean channel which holds the lovely tube-driven Fender Blackface sound, all in a tidy 110 15W amp. I also learned that I like the tone of the Tweed Fender Bassman :wink:

My purchase the other day also involved a second little gem:

More about the Ampeg Micro-VR in the Bass Amplifer section..!

I finally have some quality amplifiers for my 2 electric guitars and bass. Life is good 8)

They Do. It's the GVT Series. :mrgreen: I wanted a J-20 but they were discontinued.

That's a nice pair of amps you have there Toronado. I always liked just about everything Ampeg made. I also have an SCXD which I like but found that by using a 12" extension speaker it really improves the amp's capabilities. I use a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe 112 extension cabinet which has a Celestion speaker and is closed back.
