  • All tube Fender Champ for $200

    At a local music store they have an all tube fender champ, one of the small ones, for $200. it is used and from the looks of it it's from the eighties or somewhere around there. I kind of want to buy it, but don't know if that's a good price or not.

    any input here would be appreciated.

    Thats one of the amps that Paul Rivera designed. I am not sure what they go for?

      Guys, how do you know it's from the 80s, and how do you know it's a Rivera designed one? Most likely a silverface, they are worth between $100-$200 in good shape.

        What Oklastrat said... only I`ll add that if you like it you should buy it even at $200 imho, because it will probably appreciate a little more over the next five or more years - and how often do you get to buy a piece of gear you`ll actually be able to sell for as much or more than you paid for it when you`re done [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

          Doh! Thanks for calling me on that one Pete. It was the super champ the concert and the twin reverb II that he designed.
          My apologies to all(open mouth-insert foot here). But I still don't know what they are worth

            thanks for the replys. I just said 80's because it just has that kind-of-old-but-not-real-old look to it.

            I might just have to think about getting that little pup.

              use this link to figure out what it is:

              Champs are cool amps, just very low powered (but still loud enough to annoy folks) and very clean. But they get really cool tones for practice, and a few pedals make into a fun around the house rig.

                I went to that store today to see about buying it, and it was gone, they said they traded it for an epiphone SG.

                oh well.
