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.)

Pre and Post Fender Champion 600 Modifications

I have made a video of my Fender Champ in the stock condition before having some modifications done by a great friend who is an expert.  I will make a post-changes video, as well.

Fender Champ 600 Arrived

My new amp rolled up today and it sounds really warm and vintage.  It was at a used price on Ebay, but is like new.  The new limited Fender Champion 600 "lil' blondie's" are going for $179, so $102 plus $20 for shipping was a great price. I played it dry and with my pedal board.  Really takes the pedals well.  My favorite form though is just straight in from the guitar.  The Strat sounds better through it than the Riviera.  Now, I will begin to plan mods with my friend who is helping me to make the changes.  -- Guitar Man
