Was my thought when this came up on my YT feed. Pretty uninteresting amps.

I would buy a Mustang or Excelsior amp before I would buy that.

the excelsior is a great amp, i got to mess around with one for a while a few months back and i feel like its a great investment, and it sounds HUGE~! rob wouldn't have one if it wasnt badass

Excelsior IS BADASS!!! It has gotten my no1 guitaramp for use at home, jams and bandpractice.

yeah with mustangs on the market i don't see the point in this one bit

at least the Champ XD range has a certain different flavour: tube preamp> digital modelling > tube power section

i don't get why people would want a stinky little solid state like the dark ages now

In third world countries, mostly gigs/concerts are using solid state amps.

If my guess that these are mostly aimed at beginners is true, I'm a bit baffled that they didn't play any kind of music that would appeal to younger crowds in the demo.
Everything sounded like eighties wank-rock!

'We need to demonstrate this tremolo sound; let's have Mr AntsInPants play a totally erratic bit of fingerstyle using this time-based effect, set tooooooo...the deepest depth setting known to man.

Good work, everybody"

1) it's cheaper (or should be) than a modeling amp
2) maybe some people prefer an analog sound, though I guess it doesn't matter for the typical entry level buyer

that's basically the revamped Frontman range isn't it. Those big, cheap solid state amps were not that bad. If you are a kid that wants something loud and clean.

40 Watt Fender Champion - Â£145
40 Watt Fender Mustang II - Â£164

Both have a 12" speaker. There's just so much more for your money with the Mustang. Loud and clean is just as achievable also. And the tones in that video are demonstrably crap.

i had a dream last night, that i smashed one of these amps.

Not only, there's a lot of Hendrixy stuff and 70s hard rock. What did you expect, dubstep metalcore? Mars Bruno?

George · Post by **George** » Mon Oct 14, 2013 2:09 pm

it needs to be a staccato high register picked arpeggi-riff on a telecaster with lots of delay like Foals to appeal to the kids of today

or grindcore that is heavy on the mids

or just good in any way, which this wasn't
