Yep! Clapton was on a lot of All Things Must Pass- Wah Wah, Art of Dying, What is Life. Also George played a silverface champ and strat for Bangladesh concert
@@elirosen1391 the original 1972 album didn’t have a great mix. The 2005 reissue sounds amazing though. I think george having 4 champs together helped it push through. If it was just 1 5 watt champ onstage with those two drummers and big lineup we might not have heard him well
I just got the 57 champ reissue and I love it. It does not seem to crunch quite as easily as yours does on the lower volume settings (might be due to the 12ay7 tube vs 12ax7). Also I realized the Champ on Amplitube 4 is actually pretty freakin close if not identical when you mic the virtual cab up the same. So I did some experiments virtually in Amplitube where I would pair other tweed amps with the Champ's cab or put the champ through the other Tweed amp cabs. I've heard that the tweed amps are pretty much the same outside of the speaker and wattage variations. If Amplitube's models are accurate than it basically confirmed this: You could make a tweed champ sound just like a tweed deluxe (with the tone maxed) simply by putting it through a deluxe cab - Especially in the virtual realm where wattage and impedance mismatching doesn't matter.
I’d totally buy that- my tweed pro with the 15” speaker still has a similar midrange. Although smaller tweed amps like the champ and Princeton are class A, cathode bias. A tweed pro, super, bassman, twin are fixed bias and A/B so a little more clarity and headroom. The champ is just perfect for getting a natural crunchy sound at low volumes!
Excellence
Also just realized we went to high school together. Hope you’re well, glad to see the world is enjoying your talent
JAMIE GARRY! Dude how are you? I’m gonna hit you up on Facebook
@@sampopkin good man I can’t go looking up gear without running into you or mike lemmo doing a demo haha
I got one. However it's a 63. Can you say "mojo."
Gorgeous
So Eric Clapton played that lead guitar part on "I'd Have You Anytime"? Why am I surprised? It has all those string bends consistent with his style.

@@sampopkin How did they mic that thing onstage?
@@elirosen1391 Bangladesh was a whole lot of Shure MD421’s. Even on George’s vocals. It’s the same mic Jerry Garcia used on his amps
@@sampopkin I guess the better question is, how they were able to mic it without it getting lost in the mix.

10:00 fffffuck man that tone is crazyy. Early Clapton sound
Amazing

6:44 Now I'm Here, Queen!
Yep! I’m a huge queen fan. Huge
why didn't you have the original speaker re-cone'd
Tried to but it wouldn’t take
Absolutely brilliant playing thank you
Thanks!
What a difference a cab makes. Always wanted to build a 5 watt into a large cab like a 2x12.
Nice amp
I’ve been looking for a tweed champ strat combo layla demo for days, I hit the gold mine lmfao
No way it wasn’t tweed champs on that record. I’ve made up my mind, forums be damned
Had to have been!
Such an awesome video and playing!!
Cool!!! Greetings from Mexico! 🇲🇽
Thank you!! Appreciate the support
ThankYou for playing Eric’s solo from the Johnny cash show! I have subscribed on the basis of that alone! 😀
Awesome with the tele!! Classic richards!
I like how you tried to keep it beatle related with Id have you anytime but eventually just started playing the whole Layla Album.
Haha, I actually filmed this before I did Beatles covers. Hard not to play harrison stuff all the time
that bassman cab sounds insane
especially at like 10:32
@@jacobfolk936 More low end, less pokey mids? :)

Old bandmate had one of these. Great tone but it was always in the shop.
