JohnnyKat Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Is the Fender Vibro Champ XD 5w really an all tube amp? How is the sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwalin Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 It is not a pure, all tube amp. It has a tube preamp and a tube power section. The 'modeling' is done digitally....as I recall, the input is straight into digital, and the tube pre and power section take over from there. It has a solid state rectifier, not a tube. I think it sounds great. I had one, but wanted to upgrade to the Super Champ XD for more power. In my opinion, the Vibro sounds a little better than the Super... I think it is the single ended design of the output section. These two amps are BY FAR the best value in the Fender line at the moment. Not the best sounding, but what you get for what it costs is great!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
