Another Fender Homerun
Behold the simple, stalwart, solid-state Champion 100.
It is not fancy, it is not complicated, and although it gets classified as a "Modeling Amp", the magic of this bad boy rests in its clean channel.
To clarify, the onboard effects are extremely usable and simple enough. There is no menu diving necessary. Rotary knobs activate simple combinations of effects, and the amp models are good.
However, I'm a "Clean Tone" guy, and in my opinion, no other amplifier can approach the Fender Clean sound.
The construction is super solid without weighing a ton. And the included footswitch is built like a tank.
At 100 watts, this will easily compete with an acoustic drum kit. The fact that it's solid state makes it usable at lower volumes, but it is not quite a "bedroom" amp. Meh, who cares!
I love, LOVE this amp. I fell in love with the sound of it in 2020 and it's taken me five years and about four different amps to finally get what I've wanted all along.
If you're considering a solid-state amplifier, the Fender Champion 100 deserves your serious consideration.

Gretsch G5420T Electromatic Hollow Body
Avg price: $729.25
Nothing is Like a Gretsch. No... Thing...
True to form, I "discovered" the great Chet Atkins later in my life. And (apart from his stellar playing), one of the first things I noticed was that he used Gretsch guitars throughout most of his career.
Gretsch's Professional line is far too good and far too expensive for an amateur such as myself. But their Electromatics are, indeed, superior instruments. Thus, when I found one of these G5420Ts WITH an OEM Gretsch case for a mere $475, I jumped at the opportunity.
Now, I know having a Gretsch won't make me play like Mr. Atkins. But it feels great knowing that I'm using a spectacular guitar with an unmatched history.
