History
Fender introduced the new silver face plate aesthetic also known as ‘Silverface’ to their amplifiers in ’67, and by ’68 the Champ Amp and Vibro-Champ Amp were also sporting the new ‘Silverface’ design. The first Silverface amps featured an aluminium trim edge, now known as ‘Drip Edge’ like this model do. It’s also a indicator that this amp is internally the same as an earlier black panel ‘Blackface’ amp.
Condition
Overall this beautiful Champ Amp is in excellent condition with minor wear on the black tolex. The silver face plate is really clean, including all the stencils which are fully visible and intact. The 6x black ‘witch hat’ knobs are in good condition with no breaks. Featuring the infamous aluminium trim edge, now known as ‘Drip Edge’, which is in good condition. The grill cloth is all intact with no holes or any notable wear – features the original plastic Fender logo.
