57 Custom Champ : A true classic

Knew exactly what I was going into purchasing this amp. I has on/off and volume. That is it! The rest is up to you and the guitar. So some call it a one trick pony. But I would call that to underestimate it. Yes it has the glorious tweed semi overdrive. But this thing is perfect as a pedalplatform as well.

Quality is top notch. It is built to last. From the fingerjoint cabinet to the handmade turretboard. Seen more recordings than almost any other amp i reckon, and for a good reason. The tone is there, when you switch it on.

One piece of advice. The alnico speaker needs a long time to properly break in. At least in my experience. After a few months it started opening up, and just keeps on getting better.

The price is steep, but they also keep their value very well.
