Fender Champion II 50 Blackout 50-Watt 1x12 Modelling Guitar Combo Amplifier

The Fender Champion II 50 Blackout is a limited-edition 50-watt modelling combo that delivers a huge range of usable tones in a sleek, all-black package. With multiple amp voices, a custom 12-inch Fender Special Design speaker and a full suite of built-in effects, it is equally at home in the practice room, studio or on stage, while simple controls keep you focused on playing rather than menu-diving.

At its heart, the Champion II 50 Blackout is designed to give you inspiring sound with minimal fuss. Two channels and multiple amp voicings cover everything from sparkling Fender cleans to saturated modern distortion, all voiced through a single 12-inch speaker that has been tailored to handle higher-gain sounds with clarity and punch. Add in tap-tempo effects, headphone and aux connectivity plus USB, and you have a compact, gig-ready workhorse that can also double as a flexible practice and recording tool.

The limited Blackout styling gives this Champion II a distinctive, stealthy look, with black grille cloth, black Fender logo and matching hardware that will appeal to players who prefer a more understated aesthetic. Under the hood, digital modelling technology provides consistent, reliable tones night after night, while the 50-watt output and 1x12 configuration offer enough volume and projection for rehearsals and smaller venues.

Whether you are a beginner looking for a first serious amp that will grow with you, or a more experienced player wanting a grab-and-go combo with a wide tonal palette, the Champion II 50 Blackout delivers a versatile, great-sounding solution in a smart, modern finish.

Versatile Amp Voicings

With multiple amp voices available across its two channels, the Champion II 50 Blackout lets you quickly move from classic Fender clean and edge-of-breakup tones to British-style crunch and contemporary high-gain sounds. The simple Voice control makes it easy to dial in a suitable character for any genre without needing extra pedals or complex menus.

Built-In Effects with Tap Tempo

Onboard reverb, delay/echo, chorus, tremolo, Vibratone and additional modulation effects provide a complete toolkit for shaping your sound. The dedicated FX Level and FX Select controls keep everything intuitive, while the Tap button lets you match delay times and tremolo speeds to the song tempo on the fly, ideal for live use and tight practice sessions.

Custom Fender Special Design Speaker

The 12-inch Fender Special Design speaker has been chosen to complement the Champion II’s range of amp models, delivering smoother highs and a tighter low end. This helps higher-gain voices stay articulate and controlled, while still allowing clean and edge-of-breakup tones to remain open and dynamic.

Practice and Recording Friendly

A 1/8-inch headphone output enables silent practice, while the 1/8-inch auxiliary input lets you plug in a phone or music player to jam along with your favourite tracks. The USB port offers additional connectivity options with recording setups, making it easy to capture ideas or integrate the amp into a home studio environment.
