Fender 1983 Super Champ – Vintage Rivera-Era Tube Combo Amp with Reverb and EV Speaker

No Sales Tax For Customers Outside Of California.

This 1983 Fender Super Champ is a legendary compact tube combo amplifier from the coveted Paul Rivera era, blending classic Fender cleans with higher-gain versatility in a portable package.

Cosmetically - this is just about the cleanest example you'll find!

This example is loaded with a burly, EV Force EVI-10 speaker, which handles the output of this little beast much better than the original.  The speaker sells for $275 on its one, adding some great value to this amp.

I changed out three electrolytic caps that needed updating.  The originals are included.  The rest of the amp is original and trouble-free.  The original footswitch is included.

Handcrafted in the USA, the Super Champ features a single 10" speaker, 18 watts of all-tube power, and a dual-channel design with footswitchable gain boost—making it a perfect amp for stage, studio, or home use.

Known for its lush spring reverb, robust build, and sparkling tone, the Super Champ has become one of the most sought-after vintage amps of the 1980s. It retains the vintage Fender tone loved by purists, while offering the flexibility and punch modern players crave. Whether you're chasing articulate cleans or searing leads, this amp delivers.

Shipping policy:

When you purchase this item you are hereby agreeing to this shipping policy. We remove tubes from amps that could be damaged in shipping.  We remove heavy speakers from some amps so they don't damage baffles.  These cases result in multiple box shipments, and they require the buyer to do some assembly on delivery.  We do this because we have experienced shipping issues in the past, and this is our prevention measure.  Vintage amps are sold as-is because they can need service intermittently.  Everything is tested here in our shop on the way into our inventory, and again before shipping.  We will cover shipping damage, but we cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in 20-to-50-plus year old amps. Shipments will require signature on delivery, no exceptions.  If there is damage, the buyer must retain all packing materials intact and picture them immediately and send them to sales@maharsvintageguitars.com.  Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely, but we are taking these additional measures to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
