Fender Super Champ-XD - Ribbon Cable Modification

6 f e n d e r . c o m
The Super-Champ® of the early 1980s was a real eye opener in its
day—a full-featured tube guitar amp, with a surprising amount of
power, in a tiny package. The Super-Champ® XD amplifier takes that
format into a new era by combining a real tube amp with versatile
digital voicing and effects. Rehearsals, recording sessions, and even
small gigs are a joy to play with the Fender Super-Champ.
