Fender '57 Custom Champ 5W 1x8 Tube Guitar Amp Lacquered TweedSPECS
Authentic 5F1 Circuitry for Heightened Dynamics and Sweet Overdrive The '57 Custom Champ features Fender's acclaimed 5F1 circuit, which has become legendary for its heightened dynamic response and sweet-sounding tube overdrive when pushed. A 12AY7 preamp tube matched to a classic 6V6 power amp tube generates the in-demand overdrive that has made this circuit a staple of recorded music. When the volume is cranked, this amp sings with the natural compression and rich even-order harmonics of a power tube working at peak output. Weber Special Design Speaker for Classic Champ Tone The '57 Custom Champ is loaded with an 8" 4-ohm Weber Special Design alnico speaker. Specially designed to stay true to the classic Champ sound. Compressing to create a full tone at higher levels, the speaker also ably reproduces the classic tones found at the top of the amp's volume knob. Authentic Components and Handwired Craftsmanship The '57 Custom Champ features handwired craftsmanship and modern sourced components chosen for their authentically vintage Fender tone, including yellow coupling capacitors that provide sparkly cleans and creamy overdrive with a smooth top end and round mids. On stage, the amp looks great while retaining the classic Champ's visual appeal-lacquered tweed, leather handle and Bassman grille cloth. In the studio, the 5-watt design means you can explore the full range of available tones without overloading sensitive microphones or your ears. A Style-Spanning Performer for Any Guitarist Updated components, hand wired craftsmanship and a classic circuit design combine to create the '57 Custom Champ, a style-spanning performer suited for guitarists of all types.

Quality Control Issues! Went to check this thing out to compare the 12ay7 preamp tube vs to the 12ax7 that came in my VibroChamp. Overall construction I had to send my first one back due to a buzz that only happened when plugged into input 1. After receiving the second one it also quality of the build and components still seems top notch.

Through those years, I have tried about a dozen amps and a dozen guitars. Fender Princeton 65, Frontman 25R, Mustang III, GDEC, Champion 50. All solid state. Add the Boss Katana to that. My first tube amp was a Fender Super Champ X2. At that point I was accomplished enough to discover tube amps were better. Then I got the Pro Junior IV realizing that simple was better.
