NAD - Fender Champion 600

Post by H671 »

I didn't need or want this, but when the seller dropped the price way down low, I had no
choice but to hit that big blue "Buy Now" button. It appears to be all stock & works fine.
I'll probably just keep it for its retro looks as a novelty.

I've heard some good recorded tones from these...

I've got one of those. Perfeck for home. What are the interesting (old?) gats in the picture?

The righthand one is my 1972 Harmony H671 hollowbody - Harmony stopped making guitars in about 1973/74.
The other side of the pic shows half of my cheap shit double neck bass/guitar that I wrote about in the guitar mods thread.

I like mine. Upgrading the valves (all 2 of them) is well worth it.

Cool little amps, I love a cranked champ!
How can I be sure I'm here?
The pills that I've been taking confuse me...

Love mine. Champ on low gain cranked with a tele is bliss.
You can fit a 8" speaker in there if you offset it on the baffle.
And the stock grill cover needs to go.
Enjoy!

I had a look at the Telecaster forum (http://www.tdpri.com), and was surprised at how many mods that there are for this little guy!
I had it dimed with my Harmony (single coils) & my Greg Bennett RL4 Ltd (humbuckers), the humbuckers really put it into overdrive
with good control through pick attack. The single coils on the Harmony seemed to give a warmer & smoother response, also in the
low gain input. Out of interest, what speaker did you use?
