Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love the sound of the Champ! I have used it on a few sessions now when recording guitar and have been really pleased with the results.
I have also used it for recording bass guitar, and yes your right, it can give great focus due to the Champs lack of low-end and I've found that it sounds really nice when added to a full sounding DI signal. I simply wanted to try using the Champ with a larger external speaker to see what it sounded like and to have the option of the larger speaker in case I felt that a particular recording would benefit from it. I will probably be building this cabinet myself and was just seeking some advice on cab size, speaker choice etc.
