Long a favorite of studio guitarists, the Champ utilizes simple circuitry and components to produce its sweet, low-wattage tone. A single 6V6 power tube puts out 4 watts of raw Tweed tone through a 6" speaker. The wide-panel features dual instrument inputs and a single volume knob for simple operation. The original speakers and capacitors are intact, while the original owner replaced the two-prong power cord with a grounded three-prong cord. This amplifier is in overall very good condition with some wear in the tweed covering as would be expected in an amplifier of this vintage.
