The only thing I don't agree with is parting with the Champ. It is an excellent living room, practice and, especially, recording amp. I have a '73 SFDR which I just re-tubed with NOS RCA 6V6's and re-speakered with a RI Jensen C12N. It sounds awesome in every sense of the word. Playing in a band the SFDR is great, but I wouldn't part with my Champ for anything. I use it every single day, except for gigs or jams. And I'm not the only one who likes them. Look at what they're going for lately. Try to keep the Champ. Just like you might be sorry some day that you passed up the DR, you could also look back on giving up your Champ and want to kick yourself. Sometimes when I think of some of the old Fender stuff I sold or traded for beans I get really mad at myself. Of course, YMMV, as they say.
