"Now it's a Champ" sais Vintage Guitar Magazine to a stock Fender Champ 600 that underwent a face lift using Mercury Magnetic's conversion kit.

A stock Fender® Champ "600" (AKA Gretsch Electromatic) is a decent looking small practice guitar amp, but it's missing the Mojo factor. By simply swapping the existing stock transformers for some serious quality Mercury Magnetics transformers you get some pretty serious tone improvement. Mercury Magnetics went the extra mile offering a total knock out, bringing a stock Fender® Champ "600" to sound like the coveted Champs of 1950.

The complete Champ 600 Mercury Upgrade Kit includes components, transformers, custom-designed speaker & how-to instructions for Version 1 Fender® Champ "600" combo amps.

The Mercury Champion "600" upgrade kit includes:

• Mercury Axiom® power transformer.
• Mercury Axiom® output transformer.
• Mercury Axiom® Mini-Choke™.
• Custom-designed 6" speaker.*
• Other parts necessary to make the mod.
• Fully illustrated color manual, with wiring schematics on CD-ROM.

 Mercury's kit has everything you need to upgrade the combo amp including full color, detailed illustrations, schematics and pictures to help guide you through the upgrading process. This Mercury Upgrade Kit will dramatically transform your Fender® Champ "600" (aka Gretsch Electromatic) into a real tone machine.

*Note: The stock speaker couldn't handle the output. So, we auditioned several speaker designs before settling on the pick of the litter.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a specially developed and priced kit. At this time we are not selling the components individually. THESE KITS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE USA/CANADA 120V VERSIONS ONLY. AT THIS TIME THERE IS NO EXPORT VERSION.

*BIG NOTE: The Champ Mercury's kit does not include the amplifier -- only the components necessary for the upgrade of an existing amp.

CAUTION! The voltages in your amplifier can be dangerous. Transformers and chokes are not user serviceable parts. Installation of these components should always be performed by an experienced technician. The simple ability to use a soldering iron is not enough to qualify a "do it yourself person." Those who are inexperienced in working with electronic circuits should never attempt to service their amplifier. Household line currents can be deadly!! Transformers, chokes and large filter capacitors can store a dangerous charge for several days or more after the amplifier has been unplugged. Never touch the terminals of such devices without being certain of their charge status. Risk of shock and damage to equipment may result from mishandling and/or improper use of these components. Please use common sense and always think safety first. After all, tone is most enjoyed when you are alive to hear it.
