INTRODUCED IN 1964, the tremoloequipped blackface Vibro Champ was a distant cousin of Fender’s Champion 800 and 600 models from the late 1940s, which evolved into the Champ-series amps in their various incarnations during the 1950s. These popular tweed models — which Duane Allman and Eric Clapton famously used on records such as (respectively) Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs and 461 Ocean Boulevard — were produced until 1964 and had the distinction of being the last of Fender’s original tweed amplifiers.
