1961 Fender Champ. The “narrow-panel” style was adopted in 1955, with the control panel moved to the top, new grille cloth and a substantial circuitry redesign that would endure mostly unchanged for a decade (a 12AX7 preamp tube and short-lived high-voltage filter section choke). A larger cabinet and 8” speaker were adopted in 1956, by which time the model was known simply as the Champ. Lasting into the mid-1960s, this version would be the last of the original-era Fender tweed amps.
