Terrific for recording and practice
The Fender EC Vibro Champ is perfect for recording. Savvy session guitarists and engineers have long known about the benefits of using small tube amps for recording. They're easy to control, a breeze to position and mic, and generally produce excellent results. And for late-night bedroom practice, they're far more preferable than a 100-watt arena stack.
Control the amp with your axe
The Fender EC Vibro Champ responds to pinkie power. The trick with low-wattage amps is to use your guitar's volume pot to control the amp. Set your amp volume to maximum and let your pinkie sculpt your sound. Listen to any track on Eric Clapton's Layla album (or just about any other EC solo project) and that's exactly what you'll hear.
Boutique amp in tweed clothing
The Fender EC Vibro Champ is a boutique amp in tweed clothing. Seriously, this amp is built. Built in Corona, California, the EC Vibro Champ sports handwired all-tube circuitry and premium components throughout. The finger-joined solid pine cabinet resonates with a warm, woody tone, and is finished in authentic lacquered tweed with a vintage brown/gold grille cloth and a genuine leather strap handle. This is how they used to make them. If this level of workmanship excites you, give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a shout and order up your own Fender EC Vibro Champ.
