Champ or similar through a power station

jackio

I have a champ and like it. anyone have experience of a champ or similar small amp used at volume through a power station or similar?

My alternative is to sell some stuff and get a marshall-esk amp which I'd like.

I like my champ and would like it louder and cleaner with a loop.

Sounds like you don't want a Champ really. Loud and clean is the opposite of what a Champ is.

If you wanted to get it cranked and dirty at a lower volume, then something  like a Swart Night Light works really well with these low wattage amps.

IIRC that’s roughly what Steven Wilson does now - a small H and K combo through a Seymour Duncan Power Stage into cabs. I can’t remember the exact detail but it’s in here somewhere...

What kind of champ? If you have a tweed the yes the power station or badcat unleash will work but beware of champ output impedance which is often 3.2ohms. Do you like its basic tone when clean? 
For less faff you could build an 18watt marshall style amp from ampmaker or such. Will still be warm but tighter and cleaner.
