The Super Champ XD is a delightful little powerhouse with a great tube sound in a very portable package. My preference is for the straight tube channel though there are also some built in effects which can be a lot of fun to play with, particularly with a Stratocaster :-)
In Fender's words: Our Super Champ™ XD takes the vintage Champ into a new era with classic styling, simple controls, a good variety of clean and distorted tones and unmistakable tube feel and performance at a remarkable price. Features include a real 15-watt tube amp combined with up-to-date extras including versatile amp voicing and superb DSP effects. Its solid-state overdrive and distortion eliminate many of the preamp tube problems that plague tube lovers while providing exemplary tones for rock, blues, country, jazz, metal and more.
