Sneaky.....

Now, let's talk about the fun part—what's under the hood. The Fender 5F1 circuit lurking inside the '57 Custom Champ is the stuff of legends. It's all about that dynamic response and sweet, tube-driven overdrive when you push it to the edge. Picture a 12AX7 preamp tube dancing in perfect harmony with a classic 6V6 power amp tube. When you crank up the volume, this little wonder sings with natural compression and rich, harmonious tones that only a Class A topology can deliver.

Just tasty business

Meet the 8" Weber Alnico speaker—it's your one-way ticket to tone town. As you turn up the heat, this speaker compresses beautifully, delivering fat, juicy tones that'll make you grin uncontrollably. It effortlessly recreates the grit and glory that reside at the top of the amp's volume knob. Oh, and let's not forget the hand-wired circuit featuring those vintage-inspired yellow coupling capacitors. They're the secret sauce behind those sparkly cleans and creamy overdrives, with a top end so smooth it'll leave you swooning.

All the angles...

This amp isn't just a sonic wizard; it's a looker too. Onstage, it oozes classic Champ charm with its lacquered tweed, chickenhead knob, leather handle, and ¼” inputs ready to handle any instrument—whether it's packing a low or high output. In the studio, its 5-watt design means you can explore the full tonal spectrum without causing mayhem with sensitive microphones (or your own ears). With updated components, hand-wired craftsmanship, and a circuit design that spans the ages, the '57 Custom Champ is your passport to tonal adventure. And to top it all off, it even comes with a protective cover—because all great things deserve to be protected!

Let's see what it's like in action. Headphones please....
