'57 Champ
The Fender Champ is a small tweed combo from Fender's 1950s catalog, typically about five watts into a single 8-inch speaker. It is valued for a raw, woody voice that stays clean at low settings and breaks up quickly when pushed, which made it a studio favorite for recording guitar. Fender later reissued the circuit as the '57 Custom Champ, still a simple, highly touch-sensitive classroom and recording amp.
