Hi there,

it looks like I posted this in the wrong part of the forum- so I am posting it here now...

I just got a new amp- for practice and recording from my local guitar tech- it is a 1956 tweed fender champ!

What would a good price for this amp be, it has new tubes and caps, but otherwise original.
I think I got it for a song- but am thrilled.

Graham Stuart
I will try and post some photos in the next day or so.
Any thoughts on a good reverb to use with hit, I have a line 6 verbzilla and on the spring reverbs it sounds heavenly with my tele and my gretsch duojet

In my neck of the woods old champs run around 1000 to 2500 usd.there's a 1960 tweed champ on craigs list here for 1200 usd.

Holy Crow
I just paid the equivalent of $470 USD
for my 1956 champ- I knew it was a good deal- with the new caps and the new tubes, it has the original speaker and all original wiring...
AMAzing.

Valvetrain make a handwired all valve stand alone tweed reverb unit called the "SpringThing".Bit expensive but built to last and they do tweed to various degree
of relic to match said amp.

Gotcha covered. Man, that is one sweet amp. I would have jumped on it too.

Nice deal!

Thanks for posting the photos and the info on the valve train- though it looks out of my price range- i guess I'm stuck with the verbzilla for a while.
