Renown for its 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 hand-wired performer - from crisp, classic cleans to naturally compressed overdrive that responds remarkably to guitar volume and picking dynamic changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 12AY7 preamp tube matched to a classic 6V6 power amp tube and 5Y3GT rectifier tube work together to generate this in-demand overdrive. When the volume is cranked, this little wonder sings with the natural compression and rich even-order harmonics of a power tube working at peak output in Class A topology. The 8\" 4-ohm Weber Special Design alnico speaker stays true to the classic Champ sound, compressing to create fat tone at higher levels while more than ably reproducing the raunchy tones found at the top of the amp's volume knob. The hand-wired circuit includes newly sourced yellow coupling capacitors chosen for their authentically vintage Fender tone - sparkly cleans and creamy overdrive with smooth top end and round mids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course this amp sounds great; it also retains classic Champ visual appeal - lacquered tweed, chickenhead knob, leather handle and ¼\" inputs for low or high output instruments are all here. In the studio, the 5-watt design means you'll be able to explore the full range of available tones without overloading sensitive microphones (or your ears). Updated components, hand-wired craftsmanship and a classic circuit design all combine to create the '57 Custom Champ, a style-spanning performer. Includes a protective cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-right\"\u003e\u003ca role=\"button\" class=\"text-decoration-underline show-more-link\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSee more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-bullets-container\"\u003e\n\u003cheader\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"f-bold f-uppercase p-0 pb-3\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"first-instance-shown-feature-bullets\" class=\"feature-bullets-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-watt hand-wired all-tube guitar combo amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle 8\" 4-ohm Weber Special Design alnico speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal 5F1 circuit with Fender Pure Vintage yellow capacitors and Schumacher transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle 12AY7 preamp tube, single 6V6 power amp tube, single 5Y3GT rectifier tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual ¼\" inputs accommodate a variety of instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a protective cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-4 product-highlights-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-highlights-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7839\/6439\/files\/8160500-1-4-7-1_57-champ-1-7-twdtone.jpg?v=1774282023\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"f-uppercase f-bold mt-0\"\u003eCLASSIC TWEED TONE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-desc\"\u003eHeard on countless recordings since the 1950s, the timeless guitar amp tone of the original-era tweed-covered Fender amps and their descendants really come alive when cranked with remarkable touch sensitivity and sound\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-4 product-highlights-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-highlights-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7839\/6439\/files\/8160500-1-4-7-1_57-champ-2-6-sdspkr.jpg?v=1774282006\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"f-uppercase f-bold mt-0\"\u003eSPECIAL DESIGN SPEAKER\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-desc\"\u003eThis special-design speaker uses vintage-era construction for versatile, highly dynamic tone spanning every sonic shade from clean to mean.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-4 product-highlights-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-highlights-image\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7839\/6439\/files\/8160500-1-4-7-1_57-champ-3-7-ylwcap.jpg?v=1774281993\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"f-uppercase f-bold mt-0\"\u003eVINTAGE-STYLE YELLOW CAPACITORS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-desc\"\u003eThis amp features custom-made yellow coupling capacitors chosen specifically for their authentic vintage Fender tone.
