Thanks for your kind support Al.
The original champ and vibrochamp amps have been used to record numerous 'classic' recordings because they overdriven at low volumes in the studio (Layla comes to mind here). They are also a good home (bedroom) amp too and furthermore they are a bit like buying and antique as they are going steadily going up in value.
When I was first playing guitar, I turned my nose up at at being offered a 'small' fender value amp - a deluxe reverb (one of the first silverfaced ones). As a kid I thought 22 watts would be far too low an output as we all wanted 100 watt amps - it was just under £100 (new). Now they are like hens teeth so much so, the fender re-issued them for lots of dosh (about £1000+).
I suppose this is my last chance to buy something that I consider 'affordable'.
Regards
Rob
