Small MIDI box, light and fragile. He really looks great. If you like retro, it's hard to beat.

The baby has a 5 watt lamp ... Nothing to do with transistors ... It knocks!
The operation is a basic volume, a power button, 2 inputs, Low and High gain.
C, is all, nothing to add ...

UTILIZATION

The sound is pretty stock, but there they are coupéent in quality for a good price. Speaker of shit and lamps anemic ... The rest is not bad. Ideally, you have to change lamps and HP. I propose the Mullard for lamps and Weber for the HP. + Or - $ 100 investment but well worth the trouble really, it is unrecognizable!

SOUNDS

Its very retro with a nice saturation. There is a lack of regularity in the manufacture; Some hum an aggressive, others have lamps that congnent. Some vibrate ... Not obvious at first. Once the lights changed and the HP, it sounds exellent. Boutique Quality!

This is the amp to have a Strat. It has a beautiful clean and a crunch typical Fender! If you want more, there is some modification of electronics that can give even more gain, I'll let you look ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have now been 4 months and I do not intend to abandon me. The amp is perfect for the apartment. It will never replace my Mesa but it is not his role either. It is dynamic, cool and warm. It is now my best friend. J, I tried many amps in my life and in terms of amps apart, is clearly the best I've tried. I warn you against by that I have changed a lot, it does not compare to the model stock.

Here are the mods of my little Champion:

Old-Tube Mullard 12AX7 (original 60s)
Tube-tube 6V6ES JJ
Weber SIG-Speaker 6 "Ceramic
-Changed R19 to 30K
C1-Changed 500pF/500V
Kidnapped-R7 (2.2K)

With these mods, this baby is a blast from hell!

Rock on!!
