Almost every internet forum discussion of classic late-’60s and ’70s-era recordings where an artist vaguely cites using a “Fender Champ” will result in some belligerent blowhard insisting that it was a tweed Champ.
Sometimes this is correct, but more often than not the Fender amp in question was more likely a black-panel/silver-panel Champ or Vibro-Champ from the mid-’60s onwards.
