  • $1000? You can get a Princeton for that much...

  • @MsWildCard You only get that sound when you crank a tube amp to 9 or 10. You can try to crank a Twin Reverb to get that sound but you'll probably lose your hearing, blow out your windows, and have the cops show up.

  • The bass response sounds enhanced, Champs have tendency to sound boxy with the 8" speaker.

  • @Doinkusamongus He's not switching on some effects pedals just prior to the use of the slide. He's reaching back and ... putting on the slide.

  • @UKToneHunter Actually, the Clapton Signature Strat IS different than the Standard. The Clapton uses a 12db boost on the middle pick up and tremolo section is professionally blocked (filled). But I still hate this particular Champ amp. I like the tone of the "unstoned" one better. The re-issues of the original Champ are very good.

  • I like the original Champ. I noticed that just prior to the use of the slide, he reached back and switched on some effects pedals. I love truth and truth says if you are pushing a musical product, make known what kind of "helpers" you are using. Doesn't that seem reasonable? As far as Fender products being made in the USA, really? Half of my Fender gear is made in Mexico and/or Asian countries. So, huh?

  • We are spoiled by cheap Chinese labor and suffering from 30 years of repressed wages in the US. At least Fender is trying to keep some production in the US. How many other companies have thrown our fellow Americans under the bus and moved their jobs overseas?

    Sounds pretty good to me.

  • its expensive but wow it sounds good!

  • To each his own. I've yet to hear a demo of this amp that sounds good to me. And I actually WANT to like it! I'll take my NOS BJ over this.

  • funny, i got the same tone with a frontman w/ vox tonelab st 

  • I can get a super sonic shipped to my door for that much.

  • @hendrixbellamy The only reason this amp is £1000 is because clapton uses it to record ect and because it is a well documented clapton amp, they can charge what they want, do U think the clapton signature strat is any different from a std american strat with noiseless pickups in, no way is it
