So far, I LOVE IT. The dirt channel sucks, unless you keep the gain very low...then it's great. And when I say low, I mean around the vicinity of 1. It suffers from the input jack problem that plagues every one of these known to man I think. I know about the Torres mod that fixes that problem, but I don't see spending 21 bucks on a couple of 3 dollar jacks. Does anyone know if they're the closed sort of jack, or the open ones? Just curious if anyone knows offhand, as I haven't popped it open yet.Heretic!! Thou shalt be SHUNNED here!!

I will most likely change out the tubes. Or at least get some others to experiment with, as the ones that are in there aren't like coveted or whatever. They're standard GT, and I know for a fact that they've been in there for at least 9 years.

I'd suggest checking out the Fender forum. If there's a mod to be done to Fender guitars or amps, it's most likely there.

I have a champ 12..
The jacks are plastic pieces of rice and the torres replacements are open style and the kit shows you exactly how to wire them.
I dont recomend the high gain mod only because it effects the clean tone.
the other mods are OK...if a little cheesy. The pot replacements dont fit the board spacing so you have to solder little wires to the legs of the pots, so then the are not very firmly placed on the board....if you do it right it works well but it just seems hack to me.
these are cool amps. just keep it on the clean channel and use a pedal.
