RECOMMENDED — not currently owned; tightens low-end flub on the 7th string before hitting high-gain models
The Fender Champion 20 lacks a dedicated mid knob and presence control, so rely on the 'Metal' voice setting for modern post-hardcore saturation. Keep the bass at 5 to prevent the low B string on your Jackson 7-string from flubbing out through the 8-inch practice speaker, while pushing treble slightly to retain pick articulation against the heavy gain. Clean intro/outro: switch the Voice knob to 'Tweed' or 'Blackface' clean with gain dropped to 3.
