Fender® Amplifiers presents the '57 Champ®: Delayed Reaction

Heres a cool example of how to use a 57 Champ in the studio. Rick Heins plays an American Vintage Jazzmaster®, with both pickups engaged, into a digital delay pedal and the 57 Champ set to 7.

This amp sounds pretty cool, but I think it's ridiculous for Fender to price it at $1,000. Is tweed really that expensive, Fender, or are you just trying to make your yacht payments?

Yeah, sweet little amp.....$500-$600 maybe, but $1000 street price ? Whatever they're smokin' at Fender must be awful good........I'd be embarassed to own something so overpriced and I like Fender amps ! I'd feel like a yuppie, poser, dipsh*t.

this amp is priced appropriately for what it excels at:

a hand wired 5 watter that gets saturated at a reasonable volume with an unrivaled tone

perfect for studio recording/work

sure it may not be the most versatile amp but that is not this amps strength anyway

@flknstky 500$ is the price of a Blues Junior, this amp is just killer and hand-wired. I think it worth it.

despite being a gibson man, i always thought dender stayed true to the player by not overprcing their stuff and maintaining a fairly good quality to price ratio on their products. but this dissapoints me

@GearFeed

Are those supposed to be very good? I'm wondering why it's cheaper than the reissue blackfaces.

[GearFeed]

@stretch90 look at vintage silverface fenders, i got a 1973 twin reverb for $450, and they're all handwired

[bbknux1]

mmmmmm. Gold anodized. :D

i didn't know the Geico Caveman liked Jazzmasters

[Noseheros]

Sounds amazing and the craftsmanship Im sure is astonishing...but $1000? you could get a princeton for that much

[GtrDudeL]

@todmills agreed - they don't clean up as well.... still a nice amp tho.

@ChrisPlugged It sure looks like the '59 model that a few American dealers sold. Wildwood Guitars was one of them.
