NAD-Blackface Champ

Took a Black face Champ in trade.

19988

My initial reaction was to flip it as the dollars were to my advantage. Then I played it. These amps are awesome. Tavo gave me some mods, but when I opened it up I wimped out. It was too damn original. I did put in a Weber speaker and will bring it to an amp tech, but that's it. It will stay as it left the Fullerton factory. It really sings with a Tele or Strat (no surprise), but I've yet to really find the zone yet with my 6120 or humbucker guitars. These are expensive little buggers as are virtually all Fender BF amps, but they are golden.

Always liked the simple "Champ Amp" on the front. Nice.

Very nice! I love blackface amps. I've got a Princeton that is my go-to and I've been thinking about building one of these too.

Happy NAD!

I play through mine every day.. but have a greenback 10" and solid state rectifier plug. :) I couldnt handle the farty lows from my 6120 w the jensen mod 8 that was in it.
