Description

From the personal collection of Mark Tremonti, this 1959 Fender Champ was used by him both in the writing process and on studio recordings.

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, the electrolytic caps have been swapped. The power transformer has also been changed for a modern equivalent. Otherwise, the rest of the components are all stock! See circuit photos for further details.

The amp remains fully functional and has been preserved exactly as it was when Mark last used it. Buyers should note it still retains the original 2-prong power cable and death cap.
