Master Champ (5F1)
The *Master Champ* is our version of the classic tweed Champ from the 1950s, used by great bands such as the Rolling Stones for decades. More than 70 years later, this little gem remains a reference for many musicians thanks to its excellent tone and versatility, making it a great amplifier for practice and studio use. It is also a perfect option for live performances when miked or combined with an external speaker cabinet.
Our Master Champ is built using the same techniques and materials used in the 1950s to achieve the most authentic tone possible. It incorporates an additional *Master Control* that allows you to push the great tone of this circuit even further. This control lets you drive the amp into saturation at lower volumes without losing tone. Its 5 watts will surprise you.
