Fender Champ 5F1
(1964)

Small Amp, Big Character
The Fender Champ 5F1 (1964) is a vintage tube amp icon, famous for its raw, responsive tone, and creamy overdrive at low volumes. At Rupert Street Recording, it’s a go-to for recording electric guitar, harmonica, or adding classic breakup and vibe to just about anything.

The 5F1 circuit is one of Leo Fender’s most beloved designs—used on early recordings by Eric Clapton, Joe Walsh, and Keith Richards. With just one knob and tons of soul, this little amp has helped shape the sound of rock and blues history.
