The Champ is a small package with the simple purity of a 6V6 power tube and a surprising amount of volume. It is renowned as a fantastic recording amp.
As with all the tweed amps we build, the Champ embodies authentic 1950s construction all the way down to the fiberboard motherboard for superior structural integrity, just like the original. This amp is built to last many generations.
“I have played with the Specimen Champ amp and find it very sensitive to a light touch and really enjoy playing a dulcimer that Dwain Wilder made for me through it. I never liked the sound I got through my Mesa Boogie amp but it sounds sweet through the Specimen. I have electric guitars, a resophonic guitar with a pickup, a banjo with a JB pickup, and 2 upright dulcimers with pickups. The Specimen may be the answer to find that sound I am searching for….maybe I will try the Deluxe at some point.”
