The ’57 Custom Champ is a beautifully distilled slice of vintage Fender magic, hand-wired in the USA and brimming with touch-sensitive tube tone. Powered by a single 6V6 and tube rectifier, this 5-watt tweed combo delivers rich harmonic bloom, smooth breakup, and expressive dynamics that reward every nuance of your playing. The Weber alnico speaker adds warmth and character, making it equally inspiring at home or in the studio. With its solid pine cabinet and classic simplicity, this Champ isn’t just an amp—it’s a timeless, tone-forward investment that continues to earn its place in any serious rig.
One of the most popular amplifiers of all time lives again in the '57 Custom Champ. Renown for its flexibility, ease-of-use and knockout tone, this is the classic sound heard on thousands of recordings. A wide variety of playable tones inhabit this hand-wired performer - from crisp, classic cleans to naturally compressed overdrive that responds remarkably to guitar volume and picking dynamic changes.
