Members slushpup96 Posted October 25, 2011 Members Share Posted October 25, 2011 A Fender Super Champ XD or an Ampeg Superjet Sg-12t. I can't decide which to buy. I don't think volume will be a concern for either of these (it'll mostly be a bedroom amp but also for small gigs). I haven't played a SCXD in a long time so I don't remember if it's loud, takes pedals well, sounds good, etc. Actually, I don't know if the Ampeg takes pedals well either. Anyone have any experience with either of these? Which sounds better clean? Good for recording? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Members EllenGtrGrl Posted October 25, 2011 Members Share Posted October 25, 2011 IMO, the Super Champ XD is a better Clean amp, although the Ampegs have such great sounding tremolo. But, the Super Jet is a 50 watt amp, which is kind of iffy as a bedroom player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Floyd Rosenbomb Posted October 25, 2011 Members Share Posted October 25, 2011 50 watts is overkill for bedroom if you want any gain out of it. I think the SCDX is a really nice recording amp actually, and a good bedroom and small gig amp. It takes pedals well and gets loud enough to play most music except for rock in a full band (anything where you are pushing the volume) unless you have it on a mic through a PA.

Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted October 25, 2011 Members Share Posted October 25, 2011 I had a look at the Super Champ XD and wasn't all that impressed. I don't care for all the gimmicky digital effects it has. I simply don't need the confusion or hassle of playing with that stuff. All I need is Volume and Tone and maybe a little reverb. I'd rather have an old silverface champ. Even one of those new Champion 600 amps would be my first choice for a tube driven practice amp instead of the Super Champ XD.

Members vmanmurph Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 Try looking for an Ampeg J - 12T or R. T=tremelo R=reverb 15 watts. Takes pedals well. I also owned an Ampeg SJ 12. Not really a bedroom amp, but I think it had a lot of headroom. Takes pedals well too. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
