MusicRadar rating
Pros
The Blackface vibe, tempting price, a great range of versatile sounds in a compact box
Cons
The high-gain metal sounds are very bright without an additional extension cab or heavy EQ compensation
Verdict
This amp bridges the gap between a practice and gigging unit, and if you're in the market for a fistful of all-valve Fender combo yet find your wallet wanting, the Super Champ XD is an option to consider seriously.
