In a historic collaboration, Fender introduces its first artist signature amplifiers-EC Series amps bearing the name of legendary guitarist Eric Clapton.

Clapton recorded some of his biggest hits with a tweed Champ; a late 1950s practice amp and Fender classic prized by countless pros for its great low-output sound and easy-to-record performance. He still uses one today, and we've answered his call for a special model with several distinctive features by introducing the EC Vibro-Champ. Built to Clapton's own exacting specifications and handmade in the United States, it's a fascinating variation on the '57 Champ designed with a '50s-era output tube bias tremolo (which produced a more throbbing pulse than later Fender tremolo circuits) and a switchable power attenuator (reduces speaker output). It's a must for Clapton fans and guitarists who want the ultimate in low-power tube performance.

Features include hand-wired all-tube circuitry on eyelet board with premium components; circuit based on late-'50s Fender Champ amp model 5F1 (about 5 watts); tremolo speed control and footswitch jack (footswitch optional); single 8" Weber® Signature speaker with alnico magnet for dynamic, sensitive response; Groove Tubes® 6V6GT output tube, two 12AX7 preamp tubes and 5Y3GT rectifier tube; Schumacher custom transformers; internal speaker disconnect (allows use of external 4-ohm speaker enclosure); finger-joined solid pine enclosure for warm, resonant tone; lacquered tweed covering with vintage-style brown/gold grille cloth and leather strap handle. Deluxe fitted cover included.

Fender Eric Clapton Series "EC Vibro Champ"
Review by Mike Hayes

I bought my Fender EC Vibro Champ from Peach Guitars in November 2011. I wanted to buy a smaller amp than the Blues Deluxe I was using without sacrificing tone. I had thought about a 57 Tweed Champ but when Fender announced the EC Vibro Champ I was determined to get one. The added tremolo circuit is a superb addition to the basic(!) tweed champ. the tone of the amp is excellent; turned up to 4 or 5 you get the Derek and the Dominos/Eric Clapton sound. Turn it up more and you get a great overdriven sound. This amp is exceptionally well made with top quality components. I use it with my Fender Eric Johnson Rosewood Stratocaster and Gretsch 6120 in my church band through the PA. I am really pleased with this amp. It's a keeper!
