It's the same as the Fender Champion 600.

Can't find where I first heard of it (from a guy working in a musicstore), but Google shares the same opinion:

I played one for the first time the other day at Guitar Center...$129 for the head, $129 for the cab.

Its another one Im thinking of grabbing... the combo version...

I think they go for around $175.. and there are many aftermarket up grade paths too..

What about the Fender Pro jr?.. There are a few for sale for under $300.. right now in TO CL>.

Pro Jr.'s are really nice...15 watts, I believe! MIM, much better than Made in China.

I would go with something with a bit bigger speaker like a Crate V8, Blackheart, or the lil Epiphone 5 watt. IMHO the Champ 600 or the Peavy sound realy thin.
