Eric Clapton Vibro-Champ®

The tweed Fender Champ amp of the late 1950s is a terrific
practice amp, prized by countless pro players for its great
sounding, low output, easy-to-record capabilities. Guitarists often
turn the amp’s volume up high, and manipulate the guitar’s controls
for a variety of sounds from pristine clean to swampy overdrive.
Rock legend Eric Clapton, who recorded some of his biggest hits
with a tweed Champ, still uses one today. Eric requested a special
model with a couple of unique features: '50s era output tube bias
tremolo, with a more “throbbing” pulse than later Fender tremolo
circuits; and a switchable power attenuator to reduce the speaker’s
output if desired. The EC Vibro-Champ amplifier is designed and
built to EC’s exact specifications.
This interesting variation of the '57 Champ amp is a must for
Clapton fans, tone seekers, and for any player seeking the ultimate
in low-powered, top-quality tube performance.
