Should I get this or Fender Mustang 20w vi? Can I plug keboard into Aux or MP3 without any effects while guitar has selected effects?

the mustang is nice also, but the champion 20 you can plug any device without any distortion or interferance with guitar ,the only thing is that you you control, the volume with your keyboard or whatever device you use.

I have had inconsistent results in playing my Os45Ce through an amp. It sounds ok when played through a 25 watt acoustic amp. When I tried to upgrade to a more powerful amp, such as a Fender 90 watt, there is virtually no sound that comes through. Music store folks do not know why.

No, this has very little flexibility - you'd need to purchase the newest Fender 500 for the most basic output section. Other manufacturers might have better options, including some of the digital mixer/active monitor combos.

A guitar amp's headphone, fx send, or aux out will all give you a line level signal that will be just fine going direct into the board with a 1/4" instrument or 1/4" balanced cable. However, the "amplifier out" powered output from a guitar amp will damage the board.

I suggest using a guitar pedal eq (or some other type of preamp) before you go to the mixer. This will boost the signal and the pickups tone. I am currently using this on a mandolin. It sounds very natural. I have tried this on a cello, it was plenty fat. I think with the eq you will get a good sound. You can't beat the price. You could even get crazy, buy 2 pickups and 2 eq's and put 1 in the F-hole and 1 on the bridge???

The Mustang III is a better amp? LOL, no way! No modeling amp sounds better than tube amps, especially at louder levels. The clean channel on the X2 is beautiful and being a tube amp combined with these modeling effects makes it a great amp if you want built in effects. Personally id change the speaker out to a WGS G10C and it will be instantly louder and sound better. For what it is, this is a great amp and i like it better than the Blues Jr (price is $599) which imo for the money, it blows even with the 12" speaker. No matter what amp you buy, a good speaker is key. Just having any 12" speaker doesn't make it better and the Mustang is cheaper for a reason. The Mustang III is a better amp? LOL, no way!

There's an effects loop on the back. Comes with 2 button foot switch or you can purchase a 4 button , both can be programmed for the built in effects. You would have a ton of options. You could use your ME for modulation and delay effects and set the amp on which modeling amp suits your needs like marshall, vox, fender etc. But if it was me and I really liked the sound of my ME I might spend more and get a non modeling amp. SS or tube. I like my mustang 3 cause its light and just plug it in. No pedals or even a foot switch , I have the first 10 patches set up for my style and its just a quick turn of the knob. That is not ideal for gigging but for me at home or jamming with friends its just fine. There's an effects loop on the back.

It's a pure tube amp but it has digital effects as well. So, you can use the clean tube sound or add digital effects to the chain (e.g. reverb, delay, distortion). You can set them up with fender fuse.

The pedal acts just like a wah pedal does on most effects that utilize the wah function. I believe there are a few effects/combinations where it does sort of act like a "volume," but I think what it actually does is change the intensity of the effect, almost like turning it on/off, but not quite totally killing the effect altogether. I would highly recommend it - I love mine. Combined with the Fender Fuse software that I use, you can create almost any sound known to man, even with cheap equipment.

Good Morning Mike,You have the option of either playing it as an Acoustic or Electric . When it is not being used with an Amp it has Deep Rich Sound and is an awesome piece of Musical Equipment. When it is Plugged into an amp you have a wide range of different Sound that you can Achieve such as Distortion and Overdrive for that Heavy Metal moment when you want, or with a few tweaks of the onboard controls you can have a Clean Classic Bass Sound and even a slapping Funk Sound as well. The Pick up in this Guitar is indeed an awesome one. this is a Bass that you will come to love and will indeed become your Favorite Guitar..

Still sounds like an acoustic unless you start running effects. Personally I though was kind of muffled for my liking but after I put an eq pedal in to be able to give it a volume boost and pull the muffle out it was fine. That's basically the same as buying an acoustic with a pickup and eq already installed. It's not bad for the money. I used mine to record with on my inherited Martin.

There are a lot of headphone amps out there and many of them have similar styling, where the unit plugs directly into the guitar without a cable in between. If you want to know how they compare, I would compare the reviews. I haven't tried the Joyo but I will say that the reviews don't look very good. I've been pretty happy with my Vox though. So I would guess that having similarly-styled housings are where the similarities end.

I couldn't say for certain as I have never plugged into a 63 Fender amp. However, Like all computer modeled guitar effects I suspect it comes close but falls somewhat short of the real thing. Personally I find the sound from this pedal a little thin and tinty.

Sorry Warren, Haven't tried that. I do know it sounds AMAZING with my Taylor 414ce acoustic, Fender Strat & Epiphone 339. Try it and see. I'm pretty sure u won't be disapointed. Best lil amp for the money I have ever tried. And, NO, I do not work for Amazon or Fender. I catually for for railroad and use it for traveling.Merry ChristmasScott

I do not know , it depends on what set up you are using. I use all fender amps on a clean channels and then us pedals for the sound I want. I know I can get a David gilmour sound and a deep chugging sound great for heavy metal. I am still exploring this pick up, but it is the best single coil I have ever used in the bridge.

You still need to run it off a pa or an amp. I think it does have an effects channel, but I think the effect needs to be external.

Like the other guy said, it has "in" & "Out" jacks... and I have mine at the end of all my other effects and out goes to the amp so the wah will be on with any other effects you may have on. There are several other wah's out there but the Cry Baby is the one used since the 60's, simple and reliable... I have had nothing but great luck with ALL Dunlop products... just plug the damn guitar in and play :)
