I picked up the tweed champ with 12inch today and OMG does this thing sound amazing. In fact, it sounds as good as it looks. I am a sucker for tweed and this one was hard to beat for around the house. My wife even thought it looked great :)

I ran all my pedals through it and it took to them very well. They are a little pricey, 900 bones for the Champ 12, but worth every penny IMO. I'll post some pics.

    A VictoriLux is on my lottery list...

    Glad you like it. What's the 12"?
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    I always wanted a CLark, but Teddy at Make'n Music kept raving about the 5112T from Victoria, so I gave in and traded some stuff for it. It is the 5 watt, 12 inch Champ and from everything I have read it is the amp the Stones used to record their last album. Just great tone all around!

    I always figured you for a clark guy (beaufort), yeah, the vicky tweed champs are great. The big speaker is fantastic in that circuit. What is it Weber? Jensen?


    I love the one with the 3 10's but the champ is the one we can actually use in our homes.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    The Allen is awesome, but it has its place you know.
    The Vic is so light it begs to be taken.
    All I need now is my baby MP and I'll be happy for a few days LOL

    oh cool, we just re did the interior and avionics in our companies Citation 2 before they decided to scrap the whole aviation dept. so it got sold sadly. I liked that jet. A little old but not close to the cash a new Citation 10 runs these days.

    It'd be nice to have a personal gulfstream.
