The Champion 100 is a lot of amp for the money. Two 12-inch speakers push 100 watts of clean, full-bodied sound that can handle rehearsals, gigs, and everything in between. Multiple amp voicings let you dial in everything from sparkling Fender cleans to British-style crunch to high-gain metal, and the built-in effects cover the basics without overwhelming you with options.

The stereo output through those two speakers makes the effects -- chorus, delay, reverb -- sound noticeably more spacious and three-dimensional than a mono combo. If you're looking for a versatile practice-to-gig amp without a complicated interface, the Champion 100 is consistently one of the best values in Fender's lineup.
