Had an opportunity to try out a couple of the newest Fender amps yesterday,...the new Champion series models. I found the two I tried out to be pretty impressive for the quality and price. I tried out the Champion 20 and the Champion 40. The Champion 20 has an 8 inch speaker and for it's size,sounds pretty darn good,...but if I were buying one,...I would choose the Champion 40 since it has a 12 inch speaker. I didn't get to try the Champion 100,...they didn't have one in the showroom,...it was sold :( . Anyway,...for a solid state amp,they sound pretty good,...and I wouldn't be afraid to buy one for practice use,especially since they also have a headphone jack. I actually feel they are better than the Frontman series amps,especially in terms of sound quality. I feel Fender has hit one out of the park with these new Champion series amps. I found a nice vibrato effect that I really liked as well! :)

I got the email and also noticed the new Champions. For
a solid state amp, they seem to be pretty cool.

Several years back, I bought one of the Champion 600 tube amps before they recently started to re-issue them as "Little Blondie":
