    Description

    76 Fender Silverface Champ Great Condition!.
    Currently set up for harmonica which it excels at.
    New Ted Weber signature Alnico speaker, no even fully broken in yet with approximately 12-14 hours on it.
    Completely replaced resistors and capacitors with quality SoZo, Sprague, CE capacitors and carbon composite resistors
    Good for another 50 years!
    Original capacitors, resistors, speaker connect wire, and speaker included.
    Harmonica mods are completely and easily reversible and consists of:
    5V4G nos GE made in USA Rectifier tube
    JJ 6V6S Power Tube
    5751 preamp tube
    1/4” Switchcraft speaker jack installed replacing the old TCA speaker tap.
    Negative Feedback loop disconnected
    Push pull bass knob disables the tone stack
    Bringing that part of the circuit back to Tweed specs.
    Power cord is the original three prong in good shape.
    These mods can easily be reversed to original specs.
    Original speaker is included but it does have a small tear
    I can reverse the tone stack and negative feedback mod if buyer so chooses.
    Please study the photos and don’t hesitate to ask questions.
    It will be more than adequately packed and insured and promptly shipped
    Tubes can be packed separately if the buyer so chooses
    This is the tone stack mod
    There is a 15kΩ resistor running from the Bass control to ground (typically soldered to the back of the Bass pot).
    insert a 100-220kΩ resistor between the Bass control and the 15kΩ resistor. This is now your "Tone Stack Bypass" setting.
    Add a single-pole single-throw switch across your added 100-220kΩ resistor. When the switch is closed, the 100-220kΩ resistor is shorted out, and the tone stack resumes normal function.
    The large mid-scoop of the tone stack (as well as the somewhat less signal reduction at bass & treble frequencies) is what reduces your Champ's gain & signal level compared to a tweed Champ. You tone stack bypass is a one-switch means of going between both circuits.b
    You can see how this ca easily be returned to stock by removing the 100K resistor and replacing the original pot or you can leave the push pull in as well
    Thanks
