catnine Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 1971 fender MM bass amp that I got blown so I but it into a fender princeton 6G2 front end and 5E3 power section and allen amps tranny's . The inside of the MM chassis it is also adj fixed bias. My home brew fender champ with an older allen amps tweed narrow panel chassis and home made cab. The back of the champ, top cover off.

bluesguitar65 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Very nice and impressive, but more importantly, how does it sound? Would you post a demo clip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catnine Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Very nice and impressive, but more importantly, how does it sound? Would you post a demo clip? I wish I could provide a demo, I wouldn't even know to begin on how to do that. I just have a desk top computer and I don't know how to plug into that or if I even can. The champ is wired exactly like a SF fender champ, all the componants are stock values only diff is it has a 10 inch speaker and since the chassis had a fender slide switch on the top I added a pot off the switch to have the stock VFB loop or a variable one. It really sounds just like a stock champ with a bit more bottm end. The other amp has a weber sig 12 alnico in it and sounds very close to a BF princeton only cleaner with lots of bottom end. I had a weber 12 ceramic silver bell speaker in it at first but it had far to much bottom where to tone pot did n't react well. With the Allen amps tranny's I can run 6V6's or 6L6's . It was far to much amp for here so i have 6V6's in it. I used a 12ay7 pre amp tube in it to tame the gain down. It sounds great for blues. Well like I said wish I could offer sound clips as you know specs tell you nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Wow. The amps look great. That champ is really nice and neat. I see the big ceramic resistor you told me about in the other thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
