Members Mr Songwriter Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 Has anyone here tried doing this? I've had the C600 for a while now, and the stock 6" speaker is pretty good for a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan Trevisol Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I found this article to be a good review and it mentions exactly what you're talking about.http://guitargear.org/2008/03/03/review-fender-champion-600-post-mortem/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr Songwriter Posted January 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 blackheart makes a 1x10 cab. Ah right, I've just Googled that: the Killer Ant, as far as I can tell it only appears to be available in with a 16 ohm speaker, guess I could swop it. i think the champ needs an 8ohm load though. Mine says "4 Ohm min" on the back (and also in the spec) guess they could have changed it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matching impedance on amp and cabs DOES give you slightly clearer tone, however, the rule for mismatching impedances is: Amp Impedance Amp Impedance > Cab Impedance = Broken Amp. IIRC, it might blow your tubes and/or output transformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'lll try running it through my Celestion 70/80 first (12" and 8 Ohms) to see what it's like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
