NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Yep I agree with you there. Im definately keeping the old baffle, speaker and cloth all intact as a unit. I think for me the mods win out, as most of my guitars (tele, rick 620, rick 360/12, jazzmaster) are on the trebly/jangly side so the slightly thicker, darker tones of the 8" jensen cool th...

oh im totally open to all opinions on this. Its uncharted waters to me. But Im stoked with the results I got from the speaker change, maybe its not born out in the recordings so well due to my gear but its given the little champ some guts. Fuller bass end and quelled the weird shrill break up on the...

Hmm interesting

Thanks. And thats a pain playing that lead part with your little finger and trying to let the arpeggio ring out. Easy to do when youre not thinking about it.....

Here are two clips. The firsy is a stock champ 600, the other has a new grill cloth, JJ valves and a jensen 8" speaker squeezed in. Preferences, comments?? cheers Stock Champ: https://soundcloud.com/anthony-carrie/champ600-test-a Upgraded Champ: https://soundcloud.com/anthony-carrie/fenderchamp...

Jensen 8" C8R and JJ valves arrived and installed along with some cool new grill cloth I foundin an op shop. Im very impressed with the difference these three mods have made. Much punchier, fuller lows and a lot more chime. Break up is smoother too. Plenty louder too. Will try and make a clip t...

Haha cheers. Well, somewhat impressively, the valves and speakers, both ordered from the states under a week ago, have both arrived! Tomorrow I will start the upgrade Also found some cool vintage grill cloth off an old hi-fi speaker I picked up in the op shop for $7 so it should look cool too. Much ...

JJ valves arrived today, jensen speaker has cleared customs as far as the tracking details are concerned so that shouldnt be far off! Looking forward to putting it all together. Here is the stock sound of the amp, volume 7, high gain input, ddeluxe telecaster vol on full tone on full. Mic is sm58 wi...

Yep, I guess I did.
We live out in waiatarua in west auckland. Amp was in pukekohe.
Yeh those champs x2 look cool all right.

Thought id share. Just got hold of a fender champ 600. Cool little amp. Been playing away all evening on my deluxe tele, and I have to say, even as stock, its sounds terrific. Lead line from CCR Lodi sounds spot on through it. Well before it arrived I went and ordered a 8" Jensen c8r and some J...

Wish there was an affordable way to get hold of all those nice speakers from the big online american stores. But shipping is crazy on something as weighty as a speaker. I wonder if that NZ pot You Shop thing is an option, cos a lot of those american online shops have free delivery in US. Any how, ye...

Celestion blue or gold 10s = second mortgage apparently...

Any suggestion as far as speaker upgrades are concerned?

Great, thanks for the replies guys. Yeh, a proper audio taper on the master/clean volume would be a good cheap upgrade. I liek the look of the silver chassis over the black, not sure why they changed that. I kind of like some of the sounds im getting out of the overdrive channel. It is very gainey s...
