Description

The Tweed era Champ is renowned for its unmistakable charm, having long been a studio secret weapon for musicians seeking a compact & focused tone. With a reputation built on simplicity and warmth, the 5F1 circuit remains a classic example of Fender's approach to elegant, low-wattage design. In a world where smaller, lower-powered amps are gaining in popularity, the Champ is the embodiment of stripped-down, functional brilliance.

Internally, it retains all of its original components, aside from the power cord and electrolytic caps. This amp has held up incredibly well for its age, showing only minor signs of previous wear with no notable blemishes other than a small stain on the lower rear side.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
