Cyber

Champ

Amplifier

Your new Cyber–Champ™ amplifier is brought to
you by the same Tone–team that created the
Fender

®

Cyber–Twin™ and Cyber-Deluxe™

amplifiers.  As the crowning achievements of
Fender’s most advanced research and development
project, Cyber–Series™ amplifiers are endowed
with Fender’s exclusive 

Virtual Tone Interpolation

technology (patent number 6,222,110).  VTI™
technology enables the Cyber–Champ™ amplifier
to 

be

different amplifiers according to circuit design.

Starting with a virtual circuit board, the
Cyber–Champ™ amplifier "rewires" its fundamental
architecture to become the essence of some of the
amplifier greats — Fender’s Blackface™,
Dyna–Touch™, Tweed and Modern amps, and even
the best of the British amps!

The Cyber–Champ™ amplifier allows you to be the
amp designer.  Start with one of 14 permanent amp

and effect setups stored within the Cyber-Champ™
amp—twist some knobs, make some changes, then
save to one of the 7 

rewritable

preset locations

reserved onboard for your original amplifier designs.
MIDI implementation on the Cyber–Champ™
amplifier enables you to transfer presets to and from
the amp for backup to a PC, or for exchange with
other Cyber–Champ™ amplifier players.

The Cyber–Champ™ amplifier also puts a huge
array of studio–quality effects at your command:
Reverb,  Modulation and Delay effects, enough to
satisfy most any sonic appetite.  And many are in

stereo

, so you can use the headphones jack to

enjoy a fully ambient stereo dimension.  The
Cyber–Champ™ amplifier’s Dyna–Touch™ power
amp circuitry and Celestion® speaker deliver
powerful, responsive Tone to you and your
audience.  

It’s not just loud “on paper.”
