Description:

This is a very fine example of an 1961 Fender 5F1 Tweed Champ tube-amp made in Fullerton, California, USA

The tweed covering is still beautiful and so is the original grill cloth, original transformers and tubes as well.

It weighs only 6 kg / 13.240 lbs, these amps are perfect for the studio or any other low volume situation for getting classic tube overdrive tones, they have a snarled sound and break up perfectly. 

Ready to rock, a great sounding little vintage amp!

A true piece of Fender history!
