Fender's Super Champ XD

I used to have a Fender Superchamp XD. There's been a lot of question, doubt, debate, concern, or what not about solid state, hybrid, or modeling amps. This is a demo of my old Fender Deluxe Roadhouse/Lonestar Strat straight into a Fender Superchamp XD running into a 1x12 extension cab KBP made for me being recording on a Blue Snowball USB Microphone through Audacity. My point is not to dismiss any of these tools as not good enough because I really think all of them work quite well. All of the effects were on board effects, the first track is called Opus Trem-Delay, it was recorded using the Delay on the amp and the tremolo of the vintage style system on the strat.

Wow, I really hope not! I've had a ton of amps in the four short years I've been playing, and the XD was the best all around practice amp I ever had. I truly regret getting rid of it. Light, easy to deal with, very good sound, and in general a lot of fun to play.

I also have a SCXD and I put a ragin cajun in it and not only does it sound great but when picking it up it is easy to feel the extra weight of the larger magnet...................I may be old but I'm slow,,,,,,,

Well, it's confirmed, the SCXD is being discontinued, but will live on as a Super Champ X2. Tap Tempo delay, USB connectivity, Fuse software capable, built in Ensenada, not China, and available as a combo OR Head and Cab.

Having said that, I was going to suggest that if the old model would suit your needs, they are a steal at MF for $199, but upon checking, they are no longer available there. Incidentally, neither is THIS model available yet, but I'm sure will be soon.

I just saw an older one on local CL for $150. Looks brand new. I'd be interesting in seeing more about the new one, but the thought of all those computer peices being tied into the amp concerns me....
