 |
|
I picked up the 1976 Champ in trade and was excited to compare it to my 1973 one. I had my '73 slightly modded and the also have two different speakers so I thought it would be cool to have variety. (One more stock and one modded.) The '76 is on the left. It has a Jensen speaker iirc, and my '73 has a Weber. My '73 has more gain and low end. The '76 is brighter. I have a back panel coming in for the '76 and some tube retainer clamps since the tubes in it are trying to slide out. Main thing I notice is that the pots in the '76 have plastic shafts instead of metal, the logo doesn't have the tail on it, and the grill cloth has a little red/orange hint in it along with the grey and blue. Here are the pictures.

| Nice - I run my Vibrochamp and my Princeton in tandem like that (through a stereo delay). It's a lovely thing. |

| You could do that by either getting an rca to 1/4 jack adapter or by wiring a 1/4 jack in to it. My modded one has one of those so I could attach it to a speaker cab if I wanted. You could also have the place mic it and play through the house speakers? |

Nice pair. Really like my 75. Its kinda worn but sounds great. Cleanish up to 7-8 with humbuckers and all the way with low wound silvertone. Jensen c8r.
Cosmetics more like your newer one, metal shafts though. |

Cool. Not sure why (I guess cost) Fender would use plastic shaft pots on stuff....
I think it is loud enough if it was mic'ed.  |

All champs from different years, then use ABCD box rhytmically and call it the "time machine"! |

In tandem means basically in "stereo" or tandem is more inline?
*edit.. could be the same thing i'm thinking*

It's probably British slang for some kind of sex-act. |

| I split them through the stereo outs of a delay pedal (an El Capistan) so I can pingety-pong the Space Echo sounds from different corners of the room. |

Yeah I do this also. I tried 3 way and it wasn't as cool as I expected. It's super handy with ehx stuff like the ravish sitar and you can run the drone strings to a whole different amp with its own effect chain. Sounds so badass.

Another idea, you should mod one to have a switch to take out the Negative Feedback loop out of the circuit, so it can go to Tweed champ land. |
