So, a double throw switch and a couple of 25 watt resistors. Seems easy enough to install.
Nice if used in an appartment. The output is cut to approximately 1/4 power.
Purely look. I like EC but it "ruined" a classic look to me. The size was too big for the little amp in my opinion. I like it better without such EC logo. (right is a normal Custom Champ)
There is a new small 5W one which came out only this year, the '68 Vibro Champ Reverb with a 10" (G10R-30) Celestron speaker, but it has digital reverb.

Plenty of techs who accept mailed in chassis. A Champ chassis is not too big or heavy to pack well and shipI had a 1980s Super Champ. 18watts. That was a great amp. They were always pricey, and still are. Also due to age many will require some component replacement. Where I am there is no such animal as a amp tech. I would have to do any repairs and I'm afraid I'm just not up for the task.
I looked at amp kits and the same sentiment applies. I just don't feel competent enough in my abilities anymore. At one time I was pretty good.
That's my grab-and-go amp. I continually think about selling it, but it's just too handy and the perfect practice, low wattage amp. I'm not too enthralled with the 80s-style dirty channel, but the clean channel is wonderful and takes pedals really well. I've got NOS spares of the odd 6C10 tube, and I'm now leaning toward just keeping it.I had a 1980s Super Champ. 18watts. That was a great amp. They were always pricey, and still are.
