Does anyone know if Fender has any intention of making a BIGGER & LOUDER version of the Super Champ XD?? I love the verstility of this amp and it is a great value, but is it really loud enough for a band situation??

This has come up before. The Peavey Vypyr is coming out with a similar hynrid layout but with 2 6L6s for 60 watts, a USB direct record out, an onboard tuner and a 12" speaker.

I would imagine Fender would want to be competitive in this market. While the SCXD can compete (barely) with bass and drums on a screaming treble lead, it's not gonna give you the clean low end and definition with a neck P/U at volume that a standard club amp at 40-60 watts/12" can.

I'd put money on Fender bringing a larger XD, and this year. That's why they call it a "series". If they add in a USB record out and an XLR lo-impedance speaker-compensated out for PA and an onboard tuner, it's cuz I made em do it.

If you've got a PA system you can mic your Champ and it'll be fine. If not, it won't be heard over the band.. It's made for bedroom levels. If you want something bigger and louder you'll have to forget the Champ and move up to something bigger and louder. Deluxe, Bassman, Super Reverb, Twin....all depends on how loud you want to go. Maybe a Cyber amp is in your future.
