Andre S Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I ordered a small tube amp two days ago... I have no idea when it is coming....it is taking a rather indirect route...to my cousins house in the States, and some time after that to me... It will be a while...sigh Its a Fender Champion 600, I bought it with the main intention of it being small enough to accompany me to school for guitar club...also because it can plug in to a cabinet... Patience....will take some effort...these small tube amps, as it appears seem to have some great tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 They have good sound, I like em. I think I'm gonna get an AC4 mainly because I can switch it down to 1/10th watt. Champion sounds good though man, good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champion sounds good though man, good luck[/quote'] Yea, I was considering the AC4, Are Nine has one I think, but, then I would have preferred the half stack version, but, the champion is a little better, because I can take it to school, and stack it up...

[/quote'] Yeah, for that purpose, I say go for it. Have you ever tried out an Epi Valve Junior? I have not, none of the places near me has one. Just wondering how it compares to the Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a 60's neck on a Traditional Pro....gotta stick to the chunky monkey necks like on the plus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how it compares to the Champion[/quote'] But I know the Valve Senior has been released, its the same price as the Class 5 I believe....so you could check that when you are shopping around for your Vox.. Although, given the choice, between a Class 5 and a Valve Senior, I would go with the Class 5, although every amp and everyones opinion differs.

[YOUTUBE'] [/YOUTUBE] Thanks, but lets hold off on the congrats till its in my hands, I don't really like the roundabout way this one is taking compared to how I usually ship my purchases to me... Oh well, lets hope for the best.. At worst if it falls through then, I'll get a refund, and save for something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrosurfer1959 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 there a good amp solid sound and nice size and volume for playing at home or small rooms. I just modded the hell out of mine and just made a post on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverside Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Cruise the (e)Bay for old Thomas and Hammond organ amps - they're a great source for NOS tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
