One of the most popular amplifiers of all time lives again in this ’57 Custom Champ. Renown for it’s flexibility, ease-of-use and knockout tone, this is the classic sound heard on thousands of recordings. A wide variety of playable tones inhabit this handwired performer—from crisp, classic cleans to naturally compressed overdrive that responds remarkably to guitar volume and picking dynamic changes. The Fender 5F1 circuit used in the ’57 Custom Champ has become legendary for its heightened dynamic response and sweet-sounding tube overdrive when pushed. A 12AX7 preamp tube matched to a classic 6V6 power amp tube generates this in-demand overdrive.

Became a RockStar Overnight.
I'm glad they charge the price for this amp, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. I feel you get what you pay for in life. Now I know some people will say, "a Thousand dollars is a lot for this amp" and they are right. I could have bought many other brands of amps that are better and cost less, but I wanted a Fender. When comparing this to the Boutique amps on the market, it just can't keep up. There are so many Amp Manufacturers that have better Champ Clones in the same price range, that this amp is hardly worth it. For the price of $1000 you can buy a Vintage Champ, that will go up in value, not down like this new one. There are even amps on Ebay being sold for $160 that are better than this amp, but I had to have a Fender. About the amp. It plays well, which it should, especially at this price. It is Hand-wired in the USA, a terrible job at that, but not all the connections are soldered, some are terminal clips. You might say, "What's wrong with Terminal Clips?" It's not a solid contact and will fail in the future. Also, for the price, it should be all soldered, point-to-point, not clipped on terminals. But I guess sliding a terminal onto a spade classifies as “Hand-Wiring.” I am a Big Fender Fan, with lots of their guitars, amps, hats and clothing. This is one amp I couldn't wait to own. When comparing to others Champ Clones on the market, it just isn't there. Would I recommend this amp to someone? At the right price I would. So, if you can get a used one at a dirt cheap price, go for it. In the end, it's a Fender and I had to have it. I bought this amp and signed a Record Contract the next day. This amp made me a Rock Star.Read full review
