Fender / Vibro Champ EC Eric Clapton / 2012 / Tweed / Amp
|
Here's a revamp of one of our all-time favorites: the Fender Custom Shop Vibro Champ EC. Essentially a 5F1 with an added tremolo circuit and a low output switch. Perfect for the studio or small apartments, killer tone in a small package.
It includes two inputs (low impedance -ideally for humbuckers-, and high impedance -usually for single coils-). This single-ended wonder adds an extra stage (driven by an additional 12AX7) for the tremolo, which you can switch on if you like, or switch off if you prefer the vintage "raw" feel of the originals.
The low-output switch is great for those times when you need to plug your guitar but don't want to shake your neighbours' walls. Keep in mind that this is a small beast, but a beast nonetheless, and 5W powered by a lovely 6V6 are LOUD.
Amp looks new, I don't think it was ever played more than a couple hours. Shame. But you can change that.
Includes original cover.

Guitar Giraffe, Spain 
In the last few years, online sale for musical instruments has experienced an amazing growth, but has passed right through the pre-owned market (that is, in Spain), limiting it to specialised forums and private owners. This is why Guitar Giraffe was born, the first physical and online second hand guitar and amp store (we like to call it "pre-owned", since we see a big difference between both terms), with a clear commitment of giving new options to guitarists locally and worldwide. Pre-owned guitar stores, so common in UK and USA, were practically nonexistent in Spain. We’ve wanted to fill that empty space by becoming the first physical and online store in our country focused on pre-owned guitars and amps.
