Title: Ceriatone Champ
Post by: mcinku on November 17, 2010, 11:29:24 AM
Well I finally decided to thin the heard a bit...

This amp was wired by Nik but has several mods I installed later on...
Mods that I have are... Choke, Tone Stack Bypass Sw.(Gerald Weber Tweed mod), switchable cathode bypass cap, switchable bias so I can use 6V6 or 6L6 for more power. Currently I have 6L6 in the amp but I will add 6V6 in the package as well.
In the cab I have Jensen P10Q AlNiCo speaker...

You can't see all the mods in this photo... I took this picture when I received the amp from Nik...

This amp sounds terrific but don't trust my words listen to this...

I'm asking for 500EUR + shipping

If you have any questions about the amp... don't be shy

I remember this amp and cab as it was coming together. This will be a great deal for somebody in your "locale"....
I saw/listened to some of your videos that were linked to on The Gear Page. Don't know if it was you or another member that posted the link, but the videos were good. I built the "normal" Champ in a head, and gave it to a friend as a gift. It had a 1x12 cab from Mojo with an Eminence Texas Heat.
Anyway......these are really amazing sounding amps. Sorry to see you part with it. Good Luck with the sale. It will really be a great amp for somebody over there. They are incredible in the studio. And, yours has some nice "extras".....
Best

Like you said, these Champs are awesome amps but man I own 5 amps already... and I hate to sell this one but nowdays I rarely have any time to play any amp I have at home... I play my guitars at night when family is sleeping...
When I go out, I obviously take one of the bigger amps and this one is just sitting there... that's why I'm selling it.

...anyway thanks for the kind thoughts
 ;)

A friend of mine is a carpenter and he did it for me... as you can see he put his mark on the cab at the back... nice touch isn't it.

I guess not but just for your info...

The amp weighs 12kg and dimensions are H=43cm  W=37,5 D=23cm. At this moment I don't know what the shipping cost would be but at the end of the day not cheap for the whole package especially with USD - EUR exchange rate.
Just for the record...

I still have the amp sitting in the corner of my room... are you sure about this. Sending this amp to US would not be cheap at all.
