1950 Fender Champ Electronics


Here is a photo of the 1950 Fender Champion 600 electronics. Every capacitor and resistor had to be changed. The amp was not working at all when I got it and I also replaced the AC cord with a 3-prong grounded type. No more 2-prong with “death cap” set-up.

In this photo you can see the new capacitors and resistors. The amp sounds really nice and has a growly, “tweedy” tone. Perfect for practicing around the house or recording. Cosmetic restoration is next!!

Testimonials:
David Nicholas - The 20watt amp is sounding fantastic! Delivered the goods at the gig and I'm finding cool tones all over the place with it. Love the cab w Emenince Tonkerlites too- perfect for my sounds! Makes the 12 string sound like a grand piano!
Peter Lacis - I had an audition for something recently that was all about Led Zeppelin I -- my custom Pennalizer BLEW THE MINDS of the guys I was playing with. They couldn't believe the sounds coming out of that amp. That album was never in my mind when I came up with the idea....so that's yet another testament to the amazing work that you do.
Scott Goldberg - I am very satisfied with the set-up, and the fast turn around.  With the "lower" action it feels easier to play.  I will definitely spread the word.
