Original US-made 'Tweed' Fender Champ valve (tube) amp dating from August 1957 in very clean cosmetic condition and superb working order. This is the year the reissues are based on.

This is very clean indeed and looks like it's spent most of its life in a cupboard.

It's been serviced, had the 'death cap' removed and been fitted with an earthed mains cable so is ready to safely rock your world.

One of the great recording amps of all time: it sounds fantastic and has tone for days: a great 'crunch' amp.

It is in very good original condition apart from the 3-core power cord, the death cap and various out-of-spec minor components removed in the past - the original speaker was missing and has been upgraded to a Weber Alnico Sig 8S which is sonically a great improvement. It really sings through this speaker: we find the tone is much-improved with more volume, definition and bottom end.

Whilst collectors may like to see original speakers, fitting a more efficient modern speaker maximises these amps' potential tone-wise.

It is of course a USA 110v mains unit so will require a step-down transformer for UK/EU use.

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."

DAVID WRENCH

“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”

TOM JOHNSTON

Fantastic. From initial contact to the product landing at my door the service provided was outstanding. Safe and secure shipping, quality serviced product.

MATTHEW HERBERT

"Finally, a company that tracks down all those brilliant curiosities that bring so much character and personality to a studio."

JOSH LLOYD-WATSON & TOM MCFARLAND - JUNGLE

“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
