I've been after a small fender flavoured amp for a while and found this locally.
It's a Fame (rebadged Joyo) JTA05 Sweet Baby. Which from what I understand is a clone of the Fender Champ 5F1 circuit.
This particular one has been modded with what appears to be some kind of boost switch and also a fat switch - i think it's also got a better speaker in it than came stock.
And it sounds fantastic ! I never thought a 1x8 combo could sound so full and rich and flipping huge. Sticking a reverb pedal in front of it I spent a good few hours just playing the guitar and focussing on using the guitar to alter the tone rather than knobs on an amp or a pedal.
The cleans are great but winding the volume up brings in some amazing driven tones - especially with the two mystery switches turned on.
Now if only it came in tweed tolex and said fender on it............

One of which seems to to switch R7 in and out, the other adds or removes something (maybe a capaictor?) to C7:
As I've not really got any electronics knowledge could anyone tell me what this means and what they could possibly do?
Yes, sorry - I misunderstood what you were getting at there.
What i do know is with both switches engaged the amp some awesome !
Sticking a Gretsch and a reverb pedal in front of it makes me very happy and want to play guitar for hours.
