Champ-master!?!?

Post by Deed_Poll » Fri Feb 16, 2018 3:05 pm

I've never seen one of these before!

I can't help how cool one of these would be with a modern modelling amp built in... In full size, with both pickups, and the speaker grill made from a chrome enclosure where the vibrato would normally sit... That way you could have both pickups at least!

Modern battery technology would probably make it usable, too!

No connection to sale obviously, but I really can't find much on this thing...

I've wanted one of these for a few years.

I was just thinking that these are just about tiny enough to fit into a guitar... They sound very good as well. I demo'd one a few months back.

All it would need is a big battery and a tiny reverb... And a speaker of course!

I don't know whether there's a reverb quite this small... This one is a volume pedal

It would be pretty easy to run a Ruby( http://www.runoffgroove.com/ruby.html) off a 9v battery and jam the whole thing inside the trem cavity with a tiny speaker, but it'd probably sound pretty awful in most cases.
