Fender VibroChamp XD Has More Voices Than Joey Gladstone
May 23, 2008
We don't blame Tony Polecastro for his attachment to the Fender VibroChamp XD. Boasting a full spectrum of tones and effects pushed out of five tube watts, Tony treats us to some bluesy licks as his cohort Tim Joyce fiddles enough knobs to make DJ Puzzle jealous.

Fender SuperChamp XD
I've had a Super champ for awhile now, basically since they came out. I really enjoy the amp alot, great tone and versatility. I do have one issue with it, but I haven't seen anybody else mention it, so I'm wondering if it's just mine...Like I said, great tone, most of the time. The exception is when playing a humbucker equipped guitar. At those times I get a lot of compression from the amp, so the notes seemingly 'pop' out of the speaker. It's most noticable in the 'Tweed' and 'Blackface' voicings, least noticable in the high gain voicings. The hotter the humbucker, the worse the compression. Single coils sound great, P-90's sound great. So, if anyone else has heard of, or is experiencing the same thing, let me know, especially if you have a fix for it. Other then using only single coil pickups.....

I have this same amp and the same problem. Have yoy figured out the problem yet. I have been looking all over the net and I cannot find anything.
Thanks Jeramy.
Vibro Champ Xd
Love this amp, but it has a rattling "light bulb" sound when certain notes are held, very annoying. I guess it is the power tube as I did switch out the 12ax7.
Anyone else have this sound?
Ive got the super champ xd
Ive got the super champ xd and like Jim i got a bit of a rattling problem. I havent changed out the tubes yet to see if thats the problem, but perhaps will in the near future.
