Hi guys,
I decided that I would keep my Fender HotRod Deluxe 40W combo at the rehearsal place with my new band, but I would like to have a 'similar sounding' small (and cheap  ) replacement for at home, so I can practice band songs etc appropriately. I only need the same 'clean sound', and am not interested in the gain/overdrive settings, as I am using my G9.2tt / Satchurator pedals for that instead. I will keep all my effect pedals etc with me at home at at rehearsal. I am thinking that I would need to stick with a Fender tube amp in order to reach my goal, so I could come up with 3 amps with the same 6V6 tube inside: Fender Champion 600 Fender Vibro Champ XD Fender Super Champ XD I tend to lean towards the Champion 600 (I will miss the EQ on there, but I can do the EQ externally instead), the other two are nice, but are a bit too 'digital' for me I think. I could also decide to use PodFarm for all this, however I would like to use my pedals for practice, which is not ideal using PodFarm as well as far as I know. I know I have to test them, but I would like to hear anyones thoughts on how I could deal best with my goal? Thanks for your help! Roger -------------------- "Don't practice until you get it right.

I see you are set on 6V6 tubes, but I thoroughly recommend a VOX AC4, though I'm no expert, my experience with tube amps is very limited
 Fender Champion 600 is ok, but the speaker is a bit small in my humble opinion. AC4 combo has a 10''. I have a the head + 112 cab version, and I just love it. Just my thoughts!

Thanks Fran,
I am not really set on 6V6 in general, but as my main amp for gigging/rehearsal currently is a Fender HotRod Deluxe, I just wanted to have an as close as possible sound for at home to practice. I am pretty sure that I will grab other amps in the future, however since my last buy I am a bit tight on cash (or at least my girlfriend demands me to keep quiet for a while  ).

Why don't you get a SS amp for home practicing? It wouldn't be tube amp, but Fender amps have several useful low wattage SS amps for practicing at home, and you said you need clean sound primarily. It will also run you a fraction of a cost.

Without a shadow of a doubt the 57 champ re-issue is the one to go for, pricey but just listen to that spanking tone!!

What about this little Baby ???
I'm no kidding, I've been playing through this on my veranda all this summer, and in fact it sounds GOOD for it's size. (do not compare to the Marshall battery ones, they sounds awful) I will do a review on this as well as record it, and You will see what I mean, it even sounds pretty good with the built-in distorsion. And it's just 60$...... //Staffay
