Nothing can fully explain the awesomeness that is the 1957 Fender Champ amp. This retro piece is just fabulous.
Now you can get vintage tones to go along with your vintage axe from the Fender 57 Champ Custom Amp ($1,000). A hand-wired recreation of the 1957 Fender Champ used by legends such as Johnny Cash, Keith Richards, and Eric Clapton — on “Layla,” no less — this low-output, easy-to-record amp offers vintage knobs and controls, an 8-inch Weber Special Design driver, two inputs, a finger-jointed, solid pine speaker cabinet, and super-retro lacquered tweed covering with oxblood grille cloth. – From uncrate
