Fender Champion 600 Mod Progress

My buddy with all the guitar amplifier talent has finished the modifications for my Fender Champion 600.  It is modified to be the 50's 5F1 Champ-like now in sound.  It will really rock now, like the amp used to play Layla by Eric Clapton.  I haven't picked it up yet, as I don't drive due to MSA, but I should have it by Saturday.  I can't wait to plug in and play my blues!

 Cool electronic component changes that open up the sound to give it that Champ-like quality.  Also, tube changes and went from a 6 inch to an 8 inch Jensen Mod speaker. 

 My buddy changed the grill cloth to this '63 Baseman grill.  Much more open and allows the speaker to breath better than the suede cloth the manufacturers included.  Fully modded and ready to rock! (You can look at the pictures I posted in my past postings to get an idea of how it looked before the changes.)
