Used c1973 Fender Champ Amp serial number A36896.
This amp is in very good condition, fully functional without issue. Cosmetically quite clean.
The Champ storied history began in 1948 as a 4-watt amp with a single 8-inch speaker in the form of the original Champion 800. It was soon replaced by the even-smaller Champion 600 a year later. While both of these early versions were tweed, the Champ was overhauled in 1964 in the “blackface” style with a black Tolex covering.
As with the rest of Fender’s amp lineup, the Champ and Vibro Champ were outfitted with the “silverface” look in 1968, and that existed until 1982, a year that birthed the Champ II with 18 watts of power, a 10-inch speaker and newly designed circuitry.
Over the years, the Champ has gone through several other iterations, from tube to solid-state, from tweed to Tolex, but it consistently remained a key piece of gear for casual players and professional artists alike.
This is a nice example of a silverface Champ that has been played but not abused, great addition to anyone’s gear!

The pilot lamp is the original red although it may appear a different shade in the photos.

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
