SOLD Tweed Champ 5E1/Champion 600 FS
What's Hot
This amp started life as a Fender champion 600, I have had a master volume fitted, a switch which changes the circuit to a 5 watt 5E1 (and bypasses the tone stack) and a Negative Feedback reduction switch which adds a little more gain - all fitted by a professional tech. Valves are JJ 12AX7 and 6V6 bought as a set recently.
After those mods I took it upon myself to strip the tolex, cut the box, make a new baffle (with help from my dad to be fair) and then I recovered in tweed tolex and fender grill cloth, bought from Sol Sounds. I then lacquered the tweed in vintage pine varnish.
It is a DIY job but I'm pleased with how it turned out.
Changed the speaker to a Jensen P6 Alnico which suits it well, now broken in. Have original speaker if wanted..
Looking for £220 ideally collection from near Portsmouth but can possibly ship if I can find a suitable box.

The link to the picture not embedded shows the layout of controls, the dial with no numbers is the master volume, the original volume dial is the gain dial, the first switch is original Champion 600 circuit in up position, 5E1 circuit in down position. The last switch is the Negative Feedback On/Off switch. You can really drive the amp at home volumes but pretty loud if you want it, especially in 5E1 mode.

I'll swap it for your Strymon Flint : )
Seriously though, I love that Champ. Been looking for a Vibro Champ at a reasonable price. Not many around!
