Champ Amp

1955

Continuing with the wide-panel tradition, still with tweed and mohair grille, this amp was the ultimate in simplicity – two inputs and one control. A volume pot that went to “12” also served as the power switch. The speaker is a 6” Jensen P6V Special Design Alnico. Though made both for lap steels and as a student amp, this amp is easily overdriven and produces a classic dry hi-gain sound that sounds great with single-coil pickup guitars – like a Tele or Strat – and are great for recording.
