Fender '57 Champ

Fender, one of the most popular brands in the industry, has maintained a reputation of designing replicas of vintage guitars and amplifiers. The Fender 57 Champ is authentic in tone, look, and feel, to the guitar amplifiers of the 1950s. You won't be disappointed with the compact tube-powered amp that delivers some of the richest tones and most touch-sensitive responses you can play.

Here's what fender has to say about the '57 Champ:

"The Fender Champ amp of the late 1950s is well known as the small-but-mighty tone machine that belongs in every serious guitarist's collection. The release of the ‘57 Champ adds this iconic, one-of-a-kind product to Fender’s ’57 Tweed Series.

The tweed Champ is a terrific practice amp, and has been a prized possession of countless pro players for its great sounding, low-output, easy-to-record capabilities. It’s well documented that this model has been used on recordings by Johnny Cash, Keith Richards and Eric Clapton (it's the "Layla" amp). And with its rich tone and touch-sensitive response, the Champ is great for making cool new music today.

This faithful hand-wired recreation of the 1957 Champ amp is not just for collectors or retro-minded guitarists. Any player seeking the ultimate in low-powered, top-quality tube performance need look no further!"
