super champ inside photo
« on: September 14, 2011, 06:22:18 pm »
I'm un-stupifying a Super Champ that some bonehead gutted and turned into a high-gain rattle trap and I need a clear photo of the positioning of the DR. I had to totally rebuild the amp and I can't find any clear photos or a clear enough layout to see how it's positioned.Does anyone have one of those amps that would like to share a picture of?

Pretty please! :worthy1:

I've never priced these out. Used, they seem to go for about $220. Brand new, $300. I have never messed with one, they appear to be essentially a Princeton Reverb on casual glance.

Anyone think they could build one of these for less than $220 in parts? That seems darned close to parts cost.

You must be thinking of the newer Super Champ XD.  They go for 150-200'ish used.

The 80's Super Champs regularly pull $600.00-$900.00+   Big, big difference...

Thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't aware of the difference. With cabinet and speaker and reverb can, what's pictured in this post could not be built for $2xx as far as I can tell.

Thanks for the photos! The diagram is still unclear around the power section but much better than the one I have.
