| I'm thinking this amp is worth a try. I listened to the video and it sounds good. I have not tried it personally but the amp gets good reviews. |

| This has been the only amp I've ever used. The amp sounds great for the price and its loud! If I were you I would go for the 40 watt version since its not that much more. |

Do you have the 40 W Fred? It's for my bedroom and I have a wife, so I really don't need LOUD.

| I have the 20 watt version but have tested the 40 watt. The 20 watt is still a pretty loud little amp but that shouldn't be a problem since the amp has a headphone input. |

I've spent a little time testing Fender's solid state amps (Champ and Mustang) against Boss Katana's and Blackstar core:ID lines, they're all pretty good at emulating tube sound, except the crunch amp models tend to be noisy. I've also tried Peavey, Vox and marshall solid state amps, which I remember being pretty good as well
If you can, drag your steel and 6 stringer to a big store like guitarcenter or Sam Ash and try as many as you can.

I have the Champion 20 for a practice amp, and I've recommended it to two other people. For the throwaway price it's a great amp.
Low noise and good tones.
