1979 Fender Champ

I've already bought this amp back once, 79 silver face champ which as far as I know has the original tubes in it according to the previous owner.  I'm the third owner including the guy I bought it back from.  It currently has a Warehouse G8C speaker in which sounds great but also comes with the original speaker which is an oxford I believe which works perfectly.

Breaks up at a respectful volume and sounds great with anything you put into it guitars or pedals.  If you are interested in this the white whale real spring reverb/tremolo pedal I'm selling sounds fantastic with it.

Very sorry to see it leave but have bought a 65 princeton and need to replace the money before missus munckee notices.

No trades for this sorry, will be collection only from near Portsmouth or can meet up somewhere no too far.

£625

Fender Super Champ x 2 - re-covered.

I once stripped a champion 600 and covered it in tweed and it went well and I figured I was a dab hand, turns out I'm not and I've made a pigs ear of recovering this from black to cream and changing the cloth to wheat.  It looks okay from a few feet away but has devalued the amp.

Not 100% on selling this as it is so useful but can't see it getting used much next to a princeton.

Again collection only no trades thanks.

£200

    I realise this is a sale thread @slowpilgrim ;;but the champ with the white whale pedal is almost a match for the princeton.  The princeton has more bass, at 4 on the princeton there is a hair of break up - equivalent volume on the champ is 6.5 roughly and is becoming chewy.

    They are both lovely - and both I think are better than the 68 princeton.  If I had the funds I would keep both, and get a tweed champ.  Npt that I'm fender amp mad or anything.

    Thanks for the info, I have a VC and was considering selling it for a Princeton but I’d prefer the lower vol break up so won’t bother!

    Still got the SCX2 and have changed my mind numerous times about selling as it’s so useful. 

    Will take £180 collection only if anyone wants it.

    Someone buy Mr Munckee’s lovely Superchamp X2, it’s a lovely little amp, and even better with his lovely cram handiwork

    have spent multiple hours playing with mine (over) this weekend playing with fuzz and overdrive on the various channels , it’s great fun

    May take a trade for this, possibly acoustic guitar but will listen to anything. (except Phil Collins)
