About This Listing

1962 Fender Champ Tweed Amp with 5F1 circuit. A couple caps have been replaced and a new 3-prong grounded power cord installed. The speaker is original. There is typical cosmetic wear in the tweed covering throughout, and a previous owner wrote their name on the back panel in black marker. The original handle works perfectly but has typical wear. All lettering and numbers on the control panel are clearly visible. This is a very loud and fantastic sounding amp for its tiny size, which is why the 5F1 Champ is so highly regarded.

The Fender Champ evolved out of the Champion 600 and 800 which launched in the late '40s. Originally, the Champ was a tweed-covered 4-watt amp with a 6-inch speaker. In 1957 wattage increased to 5-watts and had an 8-inch speaker. All of these details would evolve during its production run, with a switch to a black cover coming in 1964. 

Years of Production: 1953 - 1982
Features: 5-watts, 8-inch speaker, two inputs, volume control
