In my opinion you should totally go for the super champ. It's worth the wait. Check youtube videos on each one. I think the big thing is that both those are solid state amps. Those are the electronic amps that are more modern, great for metal and all sorts of crazy sounds. Good for plain distortion as well... I don't mean to knock them. But tube amps are just the best.
If you look at who uses what to record albums EVERYONE uses tube amps to record becasue they are warm and have a fat sound. MMMMMMMMM, it's like home made food.
Do yourself a favor and wait for the super champ. Damn tube amps are sexy. Especially for clean sounds like blues and jazz.
I'm listening to the pros/ cons for tube vs. solid state: the negative of the tube amps are that they are more expensive, they are heavier, you need to replace tubes every once in a while. The pros are that they sound better, lol. Way better imo.
Lastly, there is no way you need a 75w amp. That's what the spider 4 is. That's jsut too much power for you to play around with. More of a gig amp.
Thanks man great info. I found another store that has the champ. Thanks a million guys.
