David, some time has passed, I suspect, since you reviewed the Fender Champion 20. Seems that the Fender on sale under that name nowadays is a lot simpler and lacks some of the specifications you pointed out in your review. What would be the updated market name of that model you reviewed?

John:

Post your question to David's "Ask Instructor David Barrett" section on this Forum for a quicker answer from David.  But in the meantime:

Fender's website no longer shows the Champion 20. They appear to now be manufacturing a "Champion II" series, with a new 25 watt model. Specs on Fender's website show pretty much the same specs as the old 20. 

Big box stores like Guitar Center appear to still have 20s in stock; however, they don't have the "modify" dial that the new 25 has. Dials in the photo in David's small amp review look pretty much the same as the dials on the model advertised on Guitar Center's site.

Are you in the USA? If in another country, it may be that Fender is doing something different there.

Will look forward to David solving the mystery.
