1 Fender Custom Shop '57 Champ

Overview

The Fender® Champ® amp of the late 1950s is well known as the small-but-mighty 5-watt tone machine that belongs in every serious guitarist’s collection. The tweed Champ is a terrific practice amp, and has been a prized possession of countless pro players for its great sounding, low output, easy-to-record capabilities. Most players like to turn its volume all the way up and manipulate the guitar’s controls for a variety of sounds from pristine clean to swampy overdrive. It’s a uniquely inspiring and complex reed-like voice. This faithful hand-wired recreation of the 1957 Champ Amp is not only for collectors or retro-minded guitarists - any guitarist seeking the ultimate in low-powered, top-quality tube performance need look no further.
