Champion 100 : Excellent amp!

Had this amp for a year now. To get the only bad and negative thing out of the way - the clean sound has too much bass. I'm not sure does it have to with the speakers or something else but that is it.

On to the good stuff. I use mostly pedals so I put the amp on the second channel and the tweed setting, lower the gain and push the volume. I get the clean channel, awesome sound and a mid control. Fantastic sounds. I played over 60 shows last year with it. I took a beating, it went through extreme cold weather, and extreme hot weather, ferries and salt, rain and wind. Effects are awesome and one of the Metal channel's are pure goodness for anything from blues, through rock to metal, depending on the eq settings and the amount of gain you use.

I used it also standalone. Used the clean channel with the effects and the second channel with effects for crucnh and lead (volume control on the guitar and elevated neck pickup). You can completely gig with it by it self. It is loud enough for any gig.

All in all, I couldn't be happier with the amp. I will get the new Champion 50 XL 'cause it sounds awesome and is more compact and lighter to carry for smaller gigs, and I will probably get a 100W Celestion speaker for the 100W Champion to make it even more lighter and hopefully even more better sounding (refering to the clean channel)

If you need a loud, reliable amp for different types of music and gigs, don't look at anything else. This is it. Hope the review helps.
