Fender Introduces the New Super Champ Amp, Head, and Enclosure

The new Super Champ X2, Super Champ X2 Head, and SC112 Enclosure bring exciting, brand new modeling and user-friendly features, providing great tone for blues, rock, country and more.

Scottsdale, AZ. (Jan. 13, 2012) –Fender is introducing the all-new members of the popular Super Champ series. The new Super Champ X2, Super Champ X2 Head, and SC112 Enclosure bring exciting, brand new modeling and user-friendly features, providing great tone for blues, rock, country and more.

Made in Ensenada, Mexico, the Super Champ X2 combo amplifier combines 15 watts of rich dual-6V6 tube amplification with a Fender Special Design 10” speaker for dynamic combo amp tone. This simple, easy-to-use platform includes two switchable channels and several modern extras, such as a voicing knob for selection of 16 different amp types (Tweed, Blackface, British, Metal and more), 15 effects with level control, dual-channel switching (footswitch optional), tap tempo control for precise delay time or modulation speed adjustment, ¼” line output and USB output for speaker-emulated digital recording. For extra versatility, players can add-on the Fender FUSE software (available as a free download), for customization of amp voicing and effects defaults, effects parameters deep editing, and online access to free Fender community content.

The Super Champ X2 Head offers great, low-power tube sound in compact design that presents the same great features as its 15-watt, dual-channel combo sibling. It’s designed for use with the new SC112 Enclosure, or other 8-ohm speaker enclosure.

The new SC112 Enclosure mates perfectly with the Super Champ X2 Head or other quality amplifiers. Also made in Ensenada, Mexico, it is compact and rugged, rated at 80 watts RMS (at 8 ohms), and features a single 12” Celestion G12P-80 speaker for tight, defined tone and a closed-back design for increased bass response.

on 04/12/2013 		I did quite a bit of reading before pulling the trigger on a BRAND NEW Super Champ X2 + Fender 112 cab($498 total). I can't recall when I last bought a brand new amp, however, after playing one in Long+McQuade, I knew I had to take it home on the spot. I have fooled around with this little beauty for maybe 10 hours to date and thus far I am very impressed. Channel 1, lovely, warm Fender tube clean, has no real break up, even when cranked to 8 (VERY LOUD), so I use my Blues Driver which sounds amazing between my JazzMaster RI and the head. Yes, no stand bye switch, however, not a big issue. The 2 knob eq (Treble,Bass) dials into both channels and going on Fender Fuse you can take the Mid down, which is advisable, from the factory setting of 8 or 9. The digitial effects are also accessible for Channel 1 use, however, the amp simulators (voice knob) are only avail for Channel 2 use. You can have essentially 3 channels using a stomp box on the floor and use channel switching on the amp with the Fender footswitch, not inluded, and an extra $23. Channel 2...I think many of the preset 16 voices are quite good, of course you are not going to get pure 4x10 Bassman sound, but some of the models, esp., the '65 DR are SWEET...amazing warm tone, even without the Groove Tubes tubes and speaker broken in yet. I don't plan to change the tubes yet, to my average musical ear, they sound quite nice. The Twin Reverb's voice is bright and clean, with little break up, just like my old Twin Reverb silver face, blue printing, circa 1974 ;(why do we sell our prized amps for a few hundred bucks when we are young and foolish?) The break up on the '65 Deluxe is quite lush and realistic, try the gain around 6 with the volume at 5 or 6 and get that nice thick crunch a la Stones, AC/DC, etc. Some of the voices are less usable out of the box, such as the 90's, 2000's metal, however, I am sure with some tweaking on FUSE, some will find use in them. The Clean Jazz #16 is pretty cool, but I really

That is the only reason I'm seriously considering the X2 head. The 1st channal is all tube though, so you do have the "purist" tone as well as the digital stuff. Also I can lug it about with my guitar on the tube in London easily for rehearsals and shows. The line out helps being able to DI to the PA. Although with a peavey MSDI I can do that with the Princeton as well.

Might be nice to play with the voices too?

on 01/13/2012 		It's about time Fender came out with their versions. Marshall, Carvin, Mesa Boogie, Krank, Peavey, Epiphone, and countless others have had small amps stacks for years. This has to be on par with the Marshall Class 5 head, Carvin V3M Micro, Carvin VT16, Krank Jrs, etc., to overcome people's reluctance to buy a MIM modeling amp at that price range, especially when you can buy a used USA or UK amp for less. The idea of modeling on such a small amp seems absurd as it will never really sound like 16 different amps. No matter what it says, a small amp with a 10” speaker will not sound like a real Marshall stack. USB ports are nice too, but eventually the computers that run the software to access that USB port change so that USB becomes unusable. I have gear that connected to computers that used operating systems that no longer exist, so they just collect dust. Look at the old amps that had MIDI connections for software that ran on Windows 98 machines. Fender should release small head versions of their Blues Jr and '65 Princeton Reverb, no modeling, no USB, no digital, just tubes. I think I might buy the SC112 Enclosure because I’ve been looking for something like that for a long time, I want that.
