SOLD- Fender Silverface Champ with upgrades and extras
£300


Recommended Posts

This is a '76 or '78 Fender Champ with upgraded Hammond transformers and a jack speaker connector instead of the old RCA ones. The current speaker is a ceramic Jensen reissue, but the original Alnico speaker is included in the sale. It currently has a TAD Ecc83 preamp valve, Mazda 5Y3GT rectifier, and JJ 6L6, but also comes with spare JJ pres, a second Mazda 5Y3GT, and a Tung Sol and nameless Russian 5881. According to my local tech, the amp was running the standard 6V6 rather hot, so the 6L6 is a better match, bringing the output up to about 12 watts, with a broader frequency response. Along with the tougher, broader sounding Jensen this makes the amp more useful for general playing, and sounds great mic'ed with an SM57 or 58 for recording or live use. The original speaker can be put back for a dirtier, more mid-focused sound.

The amp has been fully serviced and given a great bill of health. It sounds awesome, is very light and portable, and comes with a fitted cover from Roqsolid. I've used it on a couple of rock'n'roll theatre tours and with a wedding band. However, I no longer play guitar enough to warrant a dedicated amp, so will just run through the PA when needed.

I have a box which will fit the amp, so will post- it's currently in storage so I can't measure and weight up til I retrieve it, however being light and small, postage should be quite reasonable.
