Guitar Amps September 29, 2021
The Zachamp serial number 06 is named after Zach who built the cabinet and the chassis from scratch. The cab is amazing craftsmanship with finger joined clear pine finished with highly figured curly maple veneer with a classic sunburst stain. All edges are finished with a contrasting deep ebony wood. The chassis was bent from .050 sheet aluminum with hard maple end caps for mounting to the cabinet. The chassis cutouts and holes are drilled to match the style of the 5F1 chassis. With the transformers facing the speaker, tubs mounted down and control panel facing up. The chassis circuit is covered with a matching panel held in place with small magnets.
The circuit is a classic Fender Champ 5F1 circuit with the addition of some great upgrades including a master volume to tame the loudness of the amp (can be overdriven at very soft volume levels). In addition, an output switch is added to allow any external speaker cabinet impedance to be connected.
