Alamo® Challenger - Sold

This rare Challenger model is from the early '60s. It has a replacement 10" speaker (an excellent Jensen Mod), and the luxury refrigerator handle. The amp has further been modified in that the speaker grill cloth has been died an exciting red (normally they were beige), the back panel has been cunningly removed for a more open-backed sound and it has had a replacement three prong power cord. Apart from that the amp seems to be original and it has just been serviced.

The tube complement is one 12AX7, one 6V6 power stage and a 5Y3G rectifier tube. Basically, this is a Fender Champ from Texas. It has a very Fendery clean sound in the first half of the volume range and then it gets a nice grind going after that. The Fenders are highly collectable and expensive as a result. This amp sounds great and is much less money; a point-to-point hand-wired tube amp for the same amount as some well known brand all-transistor amps cost.
