With the caveat that there may yet be something in the amp that aught to be fixed, I've found that for my champion 600 reissue (and by extension all other SE designs) anything less than that at screaming for mercy distortion they sound kind of meh. Good for a lo-fi application like blues harp, garage rock, or Neil Young.

I soldered the guitar to the cable. Soldered the cable to the grid. Bypassed all the tone and volume circuits, shorted the power switch so it's always on, soldered the plug to the wall socket, removed the pilot light so it didn't suck power and now it sounds great!
