Hi, I am considering a replacement for my existing Fender Vibro Champ XD and wonder if anyone out there can advise what to go for - I was thinking of the Super Champ XD mainly because it has a bigger speaker and a clean channel. I play mainly Shadows stuff and have a Quadroverb Plus with Charlie's EFTP (bought from Sanddance on the well known auction site a month or so since) and while the sound is pretty good it is still not quite what I am after. Any help would be appreciated. My two guitars are a Strat Road Worn and a Burns re-issue Marvin - both superb to play and totally different too. Please help if you can Rick

Hi Rick Before buying anything..try the Fender Deluxe Vm Vm stands for Vintage modified. It has some cool effects and powerful and very clean... (I tried it here in Montreal) One 12 inch speaker..40 watts! Integrated chorus, echo and reverb. www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=2220000000Sheendigs

On YouTube you can find many clips of people playing different kind of amps; just type in the search engine "Fender Stratocaster" followed by "Fender Superchamp" (or Vibrolux, or Vox AC15, or whatever you like) and try to find a clip of someone playing with a clean tone. You will find even clips of people playing Shadows tunes (some of them post regularly on this Forum) and this will give you a better idea of what you are after.

I was thinking of the Super Champ XD mainly because it has a bigger speaker and a clean channel. This amp got favorable reviews from several Shadows' music players. Didier
