Questions & Answers

FAQ

What makes the '57 Custom Champ Amplifier stand out in terms of sound quality?

The '57 Custom Champ Amplifier stands out due to its classic Fender 5F1 circuit, which provides a sweet-sounding tube overdrive. It also features a 12AY7 preamp tube and a 6V6 power amp tube, which together generate a rich overdrive that many musicians seek.

What are the visual features of the '57 Custom Champ Amplifier?

The '57 Custom Champ Amplifier has a classic Champ visual appeal with a lacquered tweed finish, chickenhead knob, and leather handle. It also features a mirrored chrome control panel and a logo badge that is a reproduction of the classic badge and font used on Fender's late-'50s tweed amps.

What kind of speaker does the '57 Custom Champ Amplifier have?

The '57 Custom Champ Amplifier is equipped with an 8' 4-ohm Weber Special Design alnico speaker. This speaker stays true to the classic Champ sound, producing a fat tone at higher levels and reproducing the raunchy tones at the top of the amp's volume knob.

What are the yellow coupling capacitors in the '57 Custom Champ Amplifier for?

The '57 Custom Champ Amplifier includes newly sourced yellow coupling capacitors that were chosen for their authentically vintage Fender tone. These capacitors generate sparkly cleans and creamy overdrive with a smooth top end and round mids.

Is the '57 Custom Champ Amplifier suitable for studio use?

Yes, the '57 Custom Champ Amplifier is suitable for studio use. Its 5-watt design allows you to explore the full range of available tones without overloading sensitive microphones or your ears.
