Check this out!!!
The amp was just completely and professionally inspected
by AGA amp guru RonSonic in Florida who gave it a brand
new bill of health. All of the original capacitors checked
out as new and were therefore not replaced. A few resisitors
were replaced as needed.
Though it cost me more than $60 for the service, it is
worth it to me to able to say wih complete confidence
that this amp is in PERFECT operating condition!
The amp is so quiet, you won't even know it's on! And the tone... well, that's the best part of this entire package! Turned down low, this amp is the perfect practice amp. Cranked, it exudes classic blues tone all the way! Pipe her through the 2x12 cabinet and you've got a an honest-to-goodness gig rig!
As you probably know, the Fender Champ is all-tube, sporting a 6V6 power tube, 12AX7 preamp tube, and a 5Y3GT rectifier tube. All point-to-point wired, typical Fender eyelet board, cloth-covered wiring... this is the real deal!
Everyone knows that WeberVST is the name for the best
new speakers in the world. And with this rig, you get
the two most often recommended speakers for the Fender Champ:
a Weber C8RS for 60's brown tone and a Weber C8SS
for classic Fender tone. You can easily swap back and
forth between them whenever you want a different tone. That's
another $60 for the speakers.
And if that is not enough, then hook this baby up to the 2x12
cabinet, crank her up and rock out! And get this... no mods
were done to the amp to allow you to easily hook it up and
external cabinet! That's right! This year of Fender Champ
came with an RCA jack into which the speaker cable plugs
on the underside of the chassis. I had RonSonic build a custom
cable with a 1/4" input on one side and an RCA jack on the
other and - voila! - instant speaker out.
The only cosmetic gufaw on the Champ is a small tear of the
tolex on the corner as shown and some oxidization of the
chassis straps (shown below). Otherwise, the Champ is in
near mint condition with a flawless faceplate, perfect knobs,
and all parts present and accounted for!
Operationally, the amp is like new! I absolutely guarantee the condition of this amp!
The accompanying 2x12 cabinet does not have an identifying marks but is obviously a brand name given its construction. The only cosmetic guffaw on the cabinet is fraying of the tolex on the bottom as shown in the pictures.
The speakers are 60's vintage Eminence AlNico 12" speakers and are in perfect shape - no voice coil rub, tears - nothing!
