I just bought a new China-made Fender Champion 600 for about 150 Euros. Love it!

I don't see the need to change the speaker, tubes, etc like every YouTube reviewer seems to suggest. This thing sounds very good right out of the box and surely will be even better after some use.

Folks seem to forget that any amp needs a butn-in period. I know that my 90ies Blues Jr. sounds WAY better now after years of frequent use.

I think you need to use a Champ for what it is, it can be a great recording tool and it can give great focus to a sound thanks to the lack of low-end.
