Hi everybody, my name is Gilles and since nov/22 i'm a new member in the big Fender Tribe..
I started to play only 3 years ago. I'm not good but i love it so much...
I just turn 70 and it's pure pleasure to practice for hours and even waking up at 4h00 in the morning just to play. I always had amps with headphone.( to keep the harmony with my neighber ) In the last year i was looking for a tube amp with headphone. Everybody
was saying that it was impossible to find.
But last week when i was surfing on the net i found exactly what i was looking for.

Fender Champ 12
they manufactured this amp from 1987 to 1992 only.
10 watt tube amp
12in speaker
plug in for mp3, cd or computer
stereo headphone output

Love jazz and smooth jazz music and this amp has given me the sound and tone
that i heard in my dream. Just grate...beyond all expectation.

You still got a few on me. Not that many, though, and I'm working on catching up!

I had one of those red knob champs some time ago. Decent bedroom amp, there are cheap mods out there to make it better too.

Hi Gilles,welcome to the forum,it's not hard to see that you're a dedicated guitar player. Anyone who gets out of bed to practice at 4:00 AM has to be really committed to playing-I have done that many times myself.You didn't mention what type of guitar you played,could you please let us know and/or send pics?
