    Just got one of these. Great amp! I don’t like having tons of knobs to tinker with, and with the Champ I just find a basic setting and let my playing do the rest. I’ve been able to record into the night with this as well. So glad I found it!

    Just picked up a “drip edge” 68 Champ, paid $350 cnd, so it looks like I paid a fair price…..

    Oh by the way the silverface was actually produced in 67 as well, starting in april. They were same circuit as the previous “Blackfaces” and were produced with a “drip edge” until may of 68, when the circuit was changes.
