The Champ is a fantastic amp! I've had two in my lifetime. I forget what happened to the first one but I found another one. Seems they're not easy to find since I've only ever seen 2 and bought them...
That one amp sounds very interesting, with the Halo, but it probably costs a tad much...

Yeah the secret has been out about the Champs for quite a while now. I think Neil Young probably has the largest collection of them on the planet. They are still around but the days of picking them up for a reasonable price are long gone unfortunately, at least for the 50's and early 60's tweed ones. Last one I saw had a $2000 tag on it!

Are you talking about Tweed champs, or just Champs in general, being rare?
Neil Young has a big collection of Deluxes, not Champs.

Thanks for the links.
Love seeing Keith on the guitar mags. I just wish the articles were new. Not something we have heard a million times already.

Lots of interesting new stuff from Keith's guitar tech Pierre.

Of course Neil has a lot of Deluxes too! But in his barn studio he has an amazing collection of vintage gear. Other amps I've seen there are an old tweed Bassman, a couple twin reverb and several old Gibson amps (not sure the models). The place just smells of old amplifiers.
