  Fender 1960 Champ Tweed 5F1
 

  Cute like Gizmo, wild like a Gremlin! :) One of our all-time favorite amps in our catalogue: a 1960 Fender Champ 5F1, a true rock machine, in great condition. A true Gizmo in appearance, but definitely a Gremlin -in a good way- when cranked.In practically 100% original condition: original transformers, circuitry (except for one electrolytic, which is a 60’s replacement). Original Oxford speaker, reconed, but factory original (JC=March 1960 stamp on speaker, chassis and tube chart). Speaker built in 1st week of 1960. Screws on backplates are not original. Amp works with the original 117V voltage. If you’re in 220V land, you can easily use an external step-down transformer. Yes, the 2-prong cord was replaced with a 3-prong, for safety. We will include the factory-original 2-prong. Death cap was disconnected, but it’s still there “for looks”. Now it’s a safe amp to play, because who wants to die playing music, anyway?Sounds beautiful, and LOUD. No, this is not the solution to avoid pissing your neighbors off. It’s the solution to making some creamy, tasty, rock ’n roll. Which is a big deal, of course. It looks like this little “box” is going to explode at those volumes, unmistakeable personality, with all the harmonics adding up as you crank the volume up. Great chance to get your hands on an original 5F1, in great condition, and sounding like a monster!
