Hi, new to the forums, hope someone can give me the info I'm looking for...

I just found a Champ 25 on a forum classified ads section and picked it up for a really good price. I believe these were manufactured in the early '90's for a couple years and feature a solid state preamp, a 12AX7 phase inverter and a dual 6L6GC power amp... They got good reviews on Harmony Central and I am excited for the clean tones. This being said, I have found little additional information regarding these amps. Does anyone here have any experience with them? I found the hybrid style from this time period pretty interesting. Anyone know the history? Lastly, for all I know the amp might have the original tubes which could be upwards of 15 years old. Can the 6L6GCs be replaced without biasing?

Thanks,
-Dan

You must biasing output tube each time you replace it

Better life tube and best tone

I have one that I really like for the "clean" channel. No parts availlable, had to get Mercury to build a PT for it. It was OK, but I put a MOJO G12H clone in it, and really opened it up. I don't care for the "drive" channel with humbuckers, but you can get some nice OD with a Strat.
