Used 1987-92 Fender Champ 12 Tube Combo Amp in Very Good Condition. There are some signs of wear, some cosmetic aging; see photos for details. Nice practice amp from the Red Knob era of Fender Amps. Feel free to contact us with any questions. Comes with footswitch.

Here’s some info from Fender: “The Fender CHAMP 12 AMPLIFIER combines all tube design, foot-switchable overdrive capability, Reverb, and a Fender Special Design 12” speaker all in a compact yet sturdy enclosure. The CHAMP 12 utilizes state of the art construction techniques and minimum parts count for maximum reliability. The amplifier uses only three tubes and features a unique CLASS-A type output section which causes the 6L6GC tube to produce a distinctively smooth distortion sound which has proven to be a very popular characteristic of low power tube amps over the years.

The tonal characteristics have been tailored to produce a wide range of sounds in both the clean and overdrive modes. The tone controls actually work over a different range while in the overdrive mode effectively giving the player a second set of controls. The Pull for Mid Boost feature on the Treble control provides even more flexibility and will produce a fatter tone useful for distortion playing.

The CHAMP 12 also offers a variety of input options. The two instrument inputs will accommodate many different instruments, either active or standard passive types, and the two inputs come in handy in the teaching environment where both the student and teacher can plug in together. The Tape Input is useful for the attachment of any line level signal source to be used as accompaniment, be it a tape player, CD player, or rhythm machine. Stereo inputs are provided and the signal is converted to mono inside the Champ 12. The volume control on the external signal source varies its level and the Champ 12 Volume controls set the instrument level. This feature is particularly handy for practicing and works well in conjunction with headphones plugged into the headphone jack for private playing. In addition to the headphone jack the CHAMP 12 has a line output jack that provides an unbalanced signal which is useful for the connection of slave power amps and larger speaker systems for more output. This output can also be connected to a mixing console, equalized and then used for recording or sound reinforcement.

The built-in quality of a Fender amplifier is the result of over three and a half decades of dedication in the combined skills of research and development by our engineers and musicians. "
