Champion 110 Owner’s Manual
The Fender Champion 110 amplifier presents the
player with the best value of any gain switching
amplifier in its price class. The common equalization
section consists of TREBLE and BASS controls in
addition to Fender’s exclusive MID control. This control
provides midrange “tone shaping” that will
continuously vary your sound from smooth and bluesy
to a punchy honk, or all the way back to 0 for the
ultimate heavy metal overdrive! The NORMAL channel
consists of a VOLUME control and the DRIVE channel
consists of a VOLUME and GAIN controls which
together set the overall level for the DRIVE channel.
The DRIVE channel also incorporates Fenders
innovative “smooth clipping” circuit. This circuit
concept is designed to simulate the way tubes clip
and produce the overdrive distortion sound so popular
with musicians today.
In addition to convenient features like All Front Panel
Mounted Controls and Jacks, the Champion 110
offers exclusive footswitch circuitry for selecting the
DRIVE channel. Remote switching is accomplished by
connecting the optional one-button footswitch to the
FOOTSWITCH jack with a standard mono guitar or
speaker cable. Also included is an EXTERNAL 8 Ω
SPEAKER output jack which automatically
disconnects the internal 10” speaker when used. The
HEADPHONES jack automatically mutes the speaker
in addition to driving Stereo or Mono headphones.
The built in quality of a Fender amplifier is the result of
over four decades of dedication in the combined skills
of research and development by our engineers and
musicians.
That is why we proudly say ... FENDER, The Sound
That Creates Legends.

Champion 110 Front Panel Functions
A. INPUT - A high impedance, high sensitivity plug-in
connection for instruments.
B. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the Normal
Channel.
C. GAIN - Adjusts the amount of preamp amplification in the
Drive Channel. Cleaner sound is achieved at lower gain
settings; high gain settings will produce more sustain and
distortion. This control works in conjunction with the DRIVE
VOLUME control (item E) to set the overall loudness of the
Drive Channel.
D. GAIN SELECT - Activates the Drive Channel. NOTE: This
switch disables the optional Channel Select Footswitch and
the Normal Channel VOLUME control (item B).
E. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the Drive
Channel.
F. DRIVE CHANNEL - INDICATOR -This LED is illuminated
when the Drive Channel is active.
G. TREBLE - Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the high
frequency range.
H . MID - Adjusts the overall tone quality without affecting the
signal level. High MID settings will provide emphasis in the
midrange frequencies whereas a lower setting will notch the
midrange to produce sounds characteristic of most “metal”
music.
I. BASS - Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the low
frequency range.
J. REVERB - Adjusts the amount of reverberated signal mixed
with the original dry signal for both the Normal and Drive
channels.
K. FOOTSWITCH - Plug-in connection for optional remote
footswitch to switch between the Normal and Drive channels.
For proper operation of the footswitch, the GAIN SELECT
switch (item D) should be out. NOTE: Any good quality patch
cable will work with the remote footswitch; however, a
speaker grade cord is preferable to a coax guitar cable if it is
available.
L. EXTERNAL SPEAKER - This jack provides an output to an
external speaker enclosure. The enclosure must have a
minimum impedance of 8Ω. Use of this jack automatically
disables the internal speaker.
M. HEADPHONES - This jack provides an output to standard
stereo or mono headphones for private listening. NOTE: Use
of this jack automatically disables the speaker. CAUTION:
Prolonged listening at high levels may be hazardous to your
hearing! This jack can also be used as an unbalanced line
output by using either a stereo or mono 1/4 inch phone plug
connection.
N. POWER INDICATOR - When this indicator is illuminated the
CHAMPION I 10 is receiving AC power.
0. POWER SWITCH - This switch turns the AC power ON and
OFF. When the switch is OFF the amplifier is completely shut
down.
LINE CORD - This amplifier is equipped with a grounding
type supply cord to reduce the possibility of shock hazard. Be
sure to connect it to a grounded receptacle. DO NOT ALTER
THE AC PLUG.
