Guitarists often turn the amp’s volume up high, and manipulate the guitar’s controls for a variety of sounds from pristine clean to swampy overdrive. Rock legend Eric Clapton, who recorded some of his biggest hits with a tweed Champ, still uses one today. Eric requested a special model with a couple of unique features: ‘50s era output tube bias tremolo, with a more “throbbing” pulse than later Fender tremolo circuits; and a switchable power attenuator to reduce the speaker’s output if desired. The EC Vibro-Champ amplifier is designed and built to EC’s exact specifications. This interesting variation of the ‘57 Champ amp is a must for Clapton fans, tone seekers, and for any player seeking the ultimate in lowpowered, top-quality tube performance. Features include: • Tremolo with speed control and footswitch jack (optional footswitch available, P/N 0994049000) • 8” Weber® Signature speaker with Alnico magnet – for dynamic, sensitive response • Groove Tubes™ 6V6GT output tube, two 12AX7 preamp tubes, and 5Y3GT rectifier tube • Custom transformers by Schumacher • Switchable output power attenuator – reduces the speaker’s output if desired • Disconnectable internal speaker - allows use of external 4 Ohm speaker enclosure • Finger-joined solid pine cabinet resonates with a warm, woody tone • Genuine lacquered tweed covering with vintage brown/gold grille cloth and leather strap handle • Deluxe fitted cover is included • Hand-wired all-tube circuitry on eyelet board; premium components throughout • Hand made in Corona, California, USA. 5 year warranty (US and Canada, other territories may vary). • Circuit based on late 1950s 5F1 Champ - produces about 5 Watts OFF HIGH ON A. POWER SWITCH — Switches power on-off to the unit. The POWER switch must be in the "ON" position to play the amplifier. Switch to the "OFF" position to completely shut off power to the amplifier. B. POWER INDICATOR — Illuminates when power to the unit is switched on. C. OUTPUT ATTENUATOR — Selects the power output of the amplifier. LOW The amplifier’s output is cut to approximately 1/4 power. This setting provides a rich sound at low volume levels, and is ideal for small rooms or recording. HIGH The amplifier delivers its full 5-Watt output power. 6 SPEED D. INPUTS VIBRATO SPEED — Adjusts the rate of the Vibrato effect. Rotate fully counter-clockwise to switch the Vibrato effect off. ♫ The optional Footswitch can be connected and used to switch the Vibrato effect on-off remotely. See FOOTSWITCH JACK {J} on next page. E. VOLUME — Adjusts the volume output level of the amplifier. F. INPUTS — Plug your instrument in here. Input "2" is a lower sensitivity input (–6dB) and provides cleaner response with high-output or pre-amplified instruments. If both inputs are used simultaneously, their input sensitivities become identical. fender.com Chassis Bottom View Rear of Amplifier 5 Y 3 GT G. POWER CORD — Connect to a grounded outlet in accordance with the voltage and frequency specifications shown on the amplifier information label. ♫ H. I. 6 V 6 GT The amplifier information label is located inside the amplifier cabinet on the left-hand side, when viewed from the rear of the amplifier. FUSE — Protects the amplifier from electrical faults. Replace a blown fuse only with the type and rating specified on the amplifier information label. SPEAKER JACK — Connection for the internal speaker or for a 4Ω external speaker cabinet. A speaker must ALWAYS be connected to the SPEAKER JACK when the amplifier is ON or damage may occur to the unit. Switch the amplifier OFF while changing speaker connections. ! J. FOOTSWITCH JACK — Plug the optional footswitch in here to enable remote on-off switching of the Vibrato effect. K. FENDER® GROOVE TUBES® — Your new Fender amplifier comes equipped with the highest quality tubes available sourced from various manufacturers worldwide. Because of occasional irregularities in supply, the specific tube type used in each amplifier is subject to change without notice. 12 A X 7 12 A X 7 Tube Locations When replacing output tubes, please note the specific tube markings on the original tubes factory supplied with your amplifier. For example, 6V6 output tube types used by Fender include, but are not limited to: 6V6C; 6V6CQ; 6V6RD; etc. The installation of a different type may require significant adjustment by a qualified technician to avoid a reduction in amplifier performance and tube life span. Additionally, Fender Groove Tubes tests and sorts many of our output tubes based on their measured performance. The sorted tubes are labeled with a fine rating of 1–10 and may also be labeled with a coarse rating color of BLUE, WHITE or RED. A pair of matched output tubes with the same fine rating (and coarse rating, if applicable) as the original tubes will be the perfect replacement. However, replacement tubes with a fine rating within one number of the original tubes can be used without re-biasing the amplifier. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your Fender dealer or authorized service center.
