Fender Review: Champion 30

History:

Purchase: I paid $216 at musiciansfriend.com

What I Like About This Fender Champion 30: The sound is excellent for the price. I was very happy with my purchase.

What I Do NOT Like About The Fender Champion 30: I was pleased with the amp until about the third day I used it. The amp just wouldn't turn on. I went on the internet and did some research on the amp. I found that many other people were experiencing the same problems as well, the amp would just flat out stop working. From what I read, apparently only the amps made in 2002 were experiencing this problem. There was even one instance where an individual had the same problem not once but twice after exchanging the first one. I called up fender to ask them if there was a bad batch of champion 30s and their only response was, "not that I know of." The customer service rep was not helpful at all.

Fender Champion 30 Quality Rating: The quality is good for it's price.

Review Summary: Do not buy this amp!!!! Avoid at all costs, or at least wait until all of the bad amps are taken out of the bunch.

Rating of this Fender product: 1
