Weber "Tweedifying" Champ Mods
I took apart my 1976 Champ that just was nothing to brag about at all.
I did the "Tweedifying" Champ mods from Weber's site - doing just the ones that added more VOLUME/Gain - I skipped the last few mods that tamed it back down and gave it this Browner sound they claim.. -
Next I added a 12" Weber Classic Alnico 12A150-4
and a GZ34 Rectifier Tube.
the speaker and the tube gave me all the Brown sound I could hope for and I keept the LOUD Volume and killer gain that way..
I used a empty Blues Jr. Cab for the 12" Weber Speaker and then I mounted the Champ's Chassis
upside down right on top of the Blues Jr. - Looks like Sanford and Son made it.. but its just for home use.
this amp is LOUD and has tone to the bone - that blows away my, Thunderbolt, Harmony H415 -Harmony H525 that I think are all for sale now because they just don't have what this has....
Theres allot to be said for modding these Fender amps,
maybe I try some mods on the Deluxe Reverb --If I can find some.
