Vintage 1959 Fender Champion Tweed Guitar Amp Combo

We have truly been graced with an amazing vintage piece! Up for sale for the first time in many years is this 1959 Fender Champion in Tweed. The Champion is the iconic, most imitated small tube amp. With its 1x8" and single power 6V6 tube output, this little amp has served many studios, and countless recording have been made with a Champ. 

This tweed Champ gives you all the characteristics you'd want from that era. This amp features the highly desirable 5F1 circuit, which plenty of great overdrive pedals have emulated. With a single volume and tone it is super easy to find your tone. Keep the volume low and you've got a nice warm clean tone. Crank up the volume and the true magic is present. You'll hear the best warm breakup that gives you plenty of bite from a small package. Because you get this fantastic tone from a small amp you can put a choice mic in front of it and get that tone for recording or live. In fact do not be surprised to see this little amp in your favorite guitar player's arsenal.

The best part is that this particular one is all original. The tweed, the grill cloth, the speaker, even the handle (careful when picking it up!), it's all original.  1959 is a "mystical" year in the guitar world, and this little gem is a great find.  We were thrilled when when one of our regulars showed up in our back lot with it.  He's had it for years and finally decided to part with it.  If you know the magic of a tweed Champ or want a piece of Fender history, this is a great score.  Come to Truetone Music to get it today, or order right here for it to be safely shipped to your home.
