***Premier Guitars is a vintage and high-end guitar and amplifier dealer based in Sydney, Australia. All prices are higher to accommodate Reverb fees. We ship worldwide - get in touch for more details***The Fender '57 Custom Champ is one of the purest and most iconic low wattage amplifiers ever made, and this example delivers everything players love about the original 5F1 tweed circuit. Simple, touch responsive and remarkably musical, the Champ has been a studio and practice favourite since the fifties, prized for its ability to move from sweet cleans to rich harmonically complex breakup with nothing more than the turn of a volume knob. Countless classic recordings were made through Champs, and the reissue models stay true to that heritage.This amplifier features an aftermarket aged tweed cabinet finished in nitrocellulose lacquer, giving it an authentic vintage appearance that closely mirrors the look of an original late fifties example. The cabinet and covering present beautifully and complement the classic aesthetics of the '57 tweed range. Internally, the 5F1 circuit offers that familiar single ended 6V6 voice with its warm midrange bloom, smooth compression and singing upper harmonics that make these amps such inspiring recording companions.At 5-watts the Champ is ideal for home playing, small sessions and studio use, with a tone that responds instantly to pick attack and guitar volume changes. This example is in excellent condition and performs exactly as a tweed Champ should.A timeless amplifier design, perfectly suited to players chasing authentic vintage Fender feel and tone in a compact package.Features:Model: Fender '57 Custom ChampSerial number: AB046902Circuit: 5F1Power output: 5WPreamp valve: 12AX7Power valve: 6V6Rectifier: 5Y3Speaker: 8" Fender Special DesignCabinet: Tweed aged in nitrocellulose lacquerInputs: 2Controls: VolumeCountry of origin: USA
