Re: [Harp-L] Substitute for tweed champ



Barry, while it is not a Champ exactly, you might consider the Mission
Delta Sonic amp.  It is 15 watts from two 6V6 tubes through a single
10-inch Lil Buddy speaker in a tweed Harvard cab.  It is small and light
but loud enough for most gigging situations.  It has a line out for those
times you need PA support.  It costs around $900, depending on options.

Here is a video of Nic Clark playing the amp at a jam with no line out:
