Shane Nicholas from Fender gives you a demo of the Fender '57 Champ amplifier. It's an authentic re-creation of the classic 5-watt tube recording amp, with an 8" speaker and a finger-joined pine cabinet for resonance.

  • Sounds like it was made to go with the Tele!

  • I sense some Layla in there! I don't blame you, it's a great song, plus this was the amp Eric used on the recording.

    I don't care how many people say it's overpriced, I want one. With an American Vintage '57 Strat in Surf Green, please :B

  • @JDog1024 yes you do...

  • My pristine "62" Champ sounds like it's on steroids. When playing in a full band situation have been asked to turn it down. I have used it on a recent recording project and it sounds HUGE, the detail exquisite. I did a track of power chords with a Tele and did two harmony tracks using a PRS and it sounded outrageous. I got the amp in Northern British Columbia in pristine condition with the original tubes which I took out and put aside and changed with Groove Tubes. I can't wait for a blues gig!

  • first off i think 1000.00 bucks is a joke for this amp. waste of money. 2nd i think it sounds like shit.. i'd rather have a bugera v5 for about 80% less than this shit box goes for.

  • No doubt..that amp has something special to offer for a guitarist with some real know how about sound dynamics.

  • @EJRocky I have that exact setup, and I don't blame you!

  • SHANE, At 1.42 what riff are you playing, I really dig that tune man, I heard you play it with the hot rod deluxe with speaker cab, cheers from the UK

  • I remember the first time I played through one of these. My first thought was "That sounds pretty good," and my second thought was "For the same price I could get so much more." Still a sweet little amp--if I saw one used for $300, I'd be $300 poorer.

  • @TheRealRayJ

    Thats how you can get different sounds! My Fender Strat sounds killer when the pickups are pointed straight at the ground! Its damn near impossible to play it that way!

  • @EJRocky

    Everyone should have at least 1 surf green strat ;)

  • @Zevonfan524 I wasn't saying that you had to get a 100 watt amp, but for $1000 you can get a lot more than this. If you bought a Champ clone from Ceriatone or a Weber kit or something it would cost less than half of this. And the Rolling Stones actually use this amp.
