Fender FS Super Champ X2/XD/Champion 4-stars Reviews

Fender FS Super Champ X2/XD/Champion

I had this on my wishlist a long time while agonising over whether to get the x2 combo or the x2 head with 110 enclosure. I went for the latter and was going to just use the clean channel with my multi-fx pedal but I'm glad I got this. I really liked the various amp voicings/effects on the amp and this is a must to switch effortlessly between them. Pity it didn't come with the amp but a sturdy, good looking piece of kit.

A necessary accessory!

Pros:

Very useful, nicely manufactured, very light, comes with cable.

Cons:

Could be made entirely from alluminium.

Add-on accessory

Bought this for my SuperChamp combo before putting together a pedalboard. It's build quality is just ok, it can take some foot-punishment, but it would be much better if there was a switch to tap between the different built-in amplifier effects, not just switching the selected effect on and off. Useful otherwise.

Does the job

I hesitated on buying the pedal, but now I have it I like what it does. With A Super Champ XD you cannot switch an effect on or off without physically turning the knob to minimize the effect - unless you have this pedal. On or Off is easy now. It obviously switches from clean to any of the pre-selected emulation settings as expected. Good length cable, although it's like a power cable for a pedal rather than a footswitch and previous Fender footswitches I have had. Also not as heavy duty, but guessing this is not likely to be taken out for a gig

Not a complaint but an observation.

Fender Super Champ Channel switcher

Pros

Well built but not unecessary heavy.

Gives you more freedom when you can use your feet to operate amp.

Very long connecting cord is a big plus.

Cons

Controls are noisy, makes a loud clicking sound when you step on them.

Could have more effects controls.
