User questions & answers

Question:	So am I buying a Harmonica or a tube amp. First paragraph is describing a harmonica in different keys
Answer:	It's the amp. Clearly a typo with the first part of the description. And the amp is great
Question:	How do you hook up an effects loop
Answer:	You don’t, way better to run a befal board in series. This amp doesn’t need much, a tube screamer, your favorite wah pedal, maybe a delay, that’s it. It is an incredible tone machine. I put an expensive 10 band EQ on this amp thinking I might make the tone even better, not so, I pulled it out of the loop, amp better by itself.
Question:	Are the tubes made by Fender? If not, what brand are they
Answer:	Without taking the amp apart, I can see 3 GT tubes and one made in Russia. The last tube I can.'t see the label. Hope this helps, if not I can open the back for more info.
Question:	I am going to purchase a slide/lap guitar. i am attracted to fenders mustang series, but have been advised to purchase a tube amp. any thoughts
Answer:	The Blues Junior is a great sounding amp. I play my lap steel through it on occasion and it's a good combination. Most guitarists prefer the sound of tube amps. The Blues Junior is a big step up from the mustang series in terms of sound quality. It's also more expensive. Play your instrument through both and see if the difference in sound is worth the difference in money to you.

Product description

One of the most popular amplifiers of all time lives again in the 57 Custom Champ.

A wide variety of playable tones inhabit this hand-wired performerfrom crisp, classic cleans to naturally compressed overdrive that responds remarkably to guitar volume and picking dynamic changes.The Fender 5F1 circuit used in the 57 Custom Champ has become legendary for its heightened dynamic response and sweet sounding tube overdrive when pushed. A 12AX7 preamp tube matched to a classic 6V6 power amp tube generates this in-demand overdrive. When the volume is cranked, this little wonder sings with the natural compression and rich even-order harmonics of a power tube working at peak output in Class A topology. The 8-in. Weber Alnico speaker stays true to the classic Champ sound, compressing to create fat tone at higher levels while more than ably reproducing the raunchy tones found at the top of the amps volume knob. The hand-wired circuit includes newly sourced yellow coupling capacitors chosen for their authentically vintage Fender tonesparkly cleans and creamy overdrive with smooth top end and round mids.Onstage this amp looks great, retaining classic Champ visual appeallacquered tweed, chickenhead knob, leather handle and 1/4-in inputs for low or high output instruments are all here. In the studio, the 5-watt design means youll be able to explore the full range of available tones without overloading sensitive microphones (or your ears). Updated components, hand-wired craftsmanship and a classic circuit design all combine to create the 57 Custom Champ, a style-spanning performer. Includes a protective cover.

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	Corona california, usa
Question:	Does this come with a cover
Answer:	Yes, the '57 Custom Champ comes with a fitted cover.
Question:	Is this amp 110v or 220v
Answer:	110v
Question:	Is this a good harmonica amp
Answer:	No idea. My guess is that it would be overkill for a harmonica amp but I don't understand the specific needs of a harp player. You're always playing through a microphone for a harmonica, right? In that context it seems a bit ridiculous to spend this kind of money. Or is this question meant in jest?

Product description

In early 1952, the Fender® Bassman® amplified a great new invention - the Fender Precision Bass® guitar. At 50 watts, it competed easily with the common instrumentation of the day: horns, piano, small drum kit, and maybe even an electric guitar through a new 10-watt amp. Through the ’60s and ’70s, the original all-tube tweed 4x10” Bassman® was popular with rock, country and blues guitarists as a reliably great-sounding and easy-to-use guitar amp. In the ’90s, Fender released an affordable ’59 Bassman reissue amplifier to great acclaim. Many guitarists, tired of experimenting with preamps, equalizers and effects racks, rediscovered the simple pleasure of plugging into a Fender tube amp. The reissue Bassman’s wide stage coverage, touch-sensitive dynamics and full-frequency swirl make it perfect for building great tone with almost any guitar or effect, and it remains a staple of the Fender guitar amp line to this day.

Answer:	This tube can be used in place of any 12AT7. There is no physical or mechanical differences between tubes used in guitar amps vs.other audio applications.
