The Fender Champion 600 is a compact 5-watt all-tube guitar amplifier with a 1950s-style two-tone vinyl covering and a 6″ speaker. It’s great for practice or recording, and its Sweetwater price is just $199.99. Recently, guitar amp guru Robert Hanrahan let us in on a tip: swap out the stock 6V6 power tube with a NOS Tung-Sol (they are available if you look hard enough on the Internet)! It will transform this low-power amp into a sweet, buttery-smooth recording amp that will have other guitarists drooling! Can a simple tube exchange make such a big difference? Robert believes it can, and he has performed this upgrade numerous times for some high-profile clients!
