Also get an RCA - 1/4 speaker cable and try running the champ into a larger closed speaker. OCD is a great pedal suggestion as well.

+1 on the OCD, they have a ton of extra gain available. You can run them on more DC voltage, up to 18v and get even more boost too.

Yeah, the larger speaker cab is a great idea. If you want to get the full tone out of the amp, you'll want the cab to be a 4ohm unit. An 8ohm cab will work, but it won't let the full output of the amp through. I like running my '55 Oahu through 2X12's or 2X10's, both at 4ohms. Art
