@bluestudio67 Layla sounds like a tweed Champ to me. This is supposed to be a '49 Champion 600 reissue. But I'm sure that this would get close with a WGS 8" Champ speaker in a cab of the right dimensions.
My man, great work your friend Pedro and yourself have done on the Champ600. I just got one myself and look forward to my potato sack grill and other suggested modifications. You have the best sounding Champ on the web.
I also like the potato sack ! .......I am going to rip the grill cloth off my Marshall stacks right away and replace em with the potato sack grill cloth !
The amp itself is good, even stock. The only reason it sounds bad out of the box, is that 6" speaker. I would just rip out the whole chassis, and implant the thing in a new 1x12 cab with a weber blue dog.
@punkeratheart I did this, but I put a Jensen 8" special design in it. I cut the 6 inch hole bigger to match the entire size of the port as seen from the front of the amp and offset the speaker to the left (from the back). I changed the fabric to be more passive as this guy did. Then I replaced the tubes with a 1955 NOS Raytheon 6V6 and a 1960's RCA 12Ax7 and it sounds incredible now. Perfect for 50's rock n' roll! I'm going to make a video of the mod procedure when I do this to another one.
@goldenhopper I am actually strongly considering building a pine 4x8" cab.......good sounding 8" guitar speakers have been made, especially jensens, but 6" is just too small to really have any bottom end. I personally like the tone of a 1x15 combo with a pair of 6L6's or 6550's though, so finding an 8" speaker I really like is going to be a challenge for me, nevermind a quad of them. Maybe 2 8" bass drivers (Seismic Audio on ebay sells killer stuff cheap) & 2 jensen mod-8's, in an "X" formation.
Even if that cloth wears out in a year, it'll still look sweet as hell!

Yo tengo uno igual. Le coloqué un Jensen pero no soporta los graves. ¿Cómo podría conseguir un Weber aquí en España? Muchas gracias

How did you like the Weber speaker? What was the main difference (tone) between the stock and mod speaker? Cheers!

awesome sound. A lot of work makes me wonder if it's worth it to get the amp?

great classic sound. The "shimmer" of the Lindy Fralin pickups is unmistakable!

@klaustrophobia2007 yes! I too will be using a potato sack for letting the speaker breath better. The"Dean champ" mod!
