Fender 57 Custom Champ with Tweed Finish.

Description

Part of a stunning collection of tweed amps the 57 CustomChamp is an amp for the true tone junkie. One of the most popular amps of all time lives again in the 57 Custom Champ. Renowned for its flexibility, ease of use and knock out tone this is the classic sound heard on thousands of recordings.
A wide variety of playable tones inhabit this hand-wired performerfrom crisp, classic cleans to naturally compressed overdrive that responds remarkably to guitar volume and picking dynamic changes.
On the Inside
The Fender 5F1 circuit used in the 57 Custom Champ has become legendary for its heightened dynamic response and sweet sounding tube overdrive when pushed. A 12AX7 preamp tube matched to a classic 6V6 power amp tube generates this in-demand overdrive. When the volume is cranked, this little wonder sings with the natural compression and rich even-order harmonics of a power tube working at peak output in Class A topology.
Alnico 8″ speaker
The 8 Weber Alnico speaker stays true to the classic Champ sound, compressing to create fat tone at higher levels while more than ably reproducing the raunchy tones found at the top of the amps volume knob. The hand-wired circuit includes newly sourced yellow coupling capacitors chosen for their authentically vintage Fender tonesparkly cleans and creamy overdrive with smooth top end and round mids.
Stylish and classic design
Onstage this amp looks great, retaining classic Champ visual appeallacquered tweed, chickenhead knob, leather handle and inputs for low or high output instruments are all here. In the studio, the 5-watt design means youll be able to explore the full range of available tones without overloading sensitive microphones (or your ears). Updated components, hand-wired craftsmanship and a classic circuit design all combine to create the 57 Custom Champ, a style-spanning performer. Includes a protective cover.
Here’s what Fender say about the 57 range
Fenders late 1950s family of amps, known as the Narrow Panel Tweed models, represented the height of amplifier technology and tone for that time. Their all-tube circuitry, resonant cabinetry, and player-centric feature set combine for what might be the perfect example of beautiful clean tone that can be easily pushed into harmonically rich warm distortion. Six decades later, they continue to be highly prized by professional guitarists and collectors alike. The Fender 57 Custom Series comprises of four distinct models, three of which will be familiar to todays Fender fan. The new 57 CUSTOM CHAMP, 57 CUSTOM DELUXE, and 57 CUSTOM TWIN have all been thoughtfully modified from previous 57 reissues, employing custom vintage tone capacitors, 12AY7 preamp tubes, and more. A fourth model, the 57 CUSTOMPRO-AMP, has never been reissued before. A medium-powered unit, its 15-inch speaker creates unique throaty tones with huge bottom end, yet it has plenty of highs for sparkling electric guitar tone production. Each 57 Custom model hits a specific spot in the range, to cover applications from studio to stage to arena. These amplifiers can provide perfect re-creation of historic guitar tones, or can be used as a firm foundation for creating new sounds.
