amp question.

Post by s_mcsleazy » Sat Nov 11, 2017 1:11 pm

so recently i had the chance to use a silverface champ and a fender reverb tank clone.. it sounded amazing but made me wonder something. has anyone ever made a champ clone but added a reverb circuit in the amp? i think that would be hella cool.

Not sure how Champ-like this is, but similar wattage and cosmetics. 12" speaker and costs a fortune though.

hella cool and given it's made with high quality components, it's cool but i cant help but think the market is a bit limited at that price

Weber has a kit called the Maggie which is a single power tube version of Dave Hunter's Two-Stroke amp. Thus it is essentially a copy of the Fender Harvard, which essentially is a Champ with a tone control. A couple of guys have built the kit with a single tube reverb circuit. The guy who figured this out and his son build custom amps in LA.
