I don't see the Super Champ XD on the products page and, it looks like many of the online sellers have it on sale for $199. So, I'm wondering if it is being discontinued... That seems kinda strange, though, since the ship date for a couple of the online places is 1/13/12... It gets lots of good reviews so maybe, rather than discontinuing it, Fender might be upgrading it in some way.... Tempting at $199...

Another question about the SCXD -- The blonde FSR version isn't available anymore. Is it difficult to recover it in a different color Tolex? I'm guessing replacing the speaker cloth with a different color isn't a big deal...

No more difficult than stripping and re-covering a large amp.

All it takes is Tolex, contact adhesive, and lots of patience.

I just got a sweet deal on a Super Champ XD new in the box for only 200 bucks....I wanted another tube amp that was smaller than the Hot Rod Deluxe that I normally use. The Guitar Center has plenty in stock as far as I can tell...I think it may be replaced by the Vibro Champ XD tho (only 5watts but Class A so, I gotta assume it's still pretty loud). For the price, I wouldn't sweat the color. Mine's black.
