new amp

God bless girlfriends. Not only are they fun to look at and play with, but they buy ya neat stuff.

I'd been lookin' around for a low wattage tube amp... Had been checkin' out the Epi Valve Jr when I found this Fender Champion 600 reissue at the music store last week. The girl surprised me with it over the weekend.

Loud it ain't, not with a 6 inch speaker, but it's got a beautiful tone to it, and there's an internal speaker jack should I decide to hook up a different speaker. Some of the reviews I read on it mentioned that it didn't sound good turned all the way up, but that's not the case at all. I turned it up full bore right off the bat and it was sweet as all get-out.

There's high and low inputs, an on/off switch, and a volume control. I oughtta be able to get a handle on the controls in a week or two, lol. A 12AX7 in the pre and a 6V6 in the power section.

Nice little rig, I love the thing. Here's a pic I got off the internet.



ax and ye shall receive
