I also like the potato sack ! .......I am going to rip the grill cloth off my Marshall stacks right away and replace em with the potato sack grill cloth !
@punkeratheart I did this, but I put a Jensen 8" special design in it. I cut the 6 inch hole bigger to match the entire size of the port as seen from the front of the amp and offset the speaker to the left (from the back). I changed the fabric to be more passive as this guy did. Then I replaced the tubes with a 1955 NOS Raytheon 6V6 and a 1960's RCA 12Ax7 and it sounds incredible now. Perfect for 50's rock n' roll! I'm going to make a video of the mod procedure when I do this to another one.
I just put an 8" Weber ceramic speaker in mine mounted to a pc of birch and use material from the fabric store to match the dark brown. Also changed tubes to Tung Sol. Still want to install the push pull bypass. Much improved. I tried the 6" alnico but it was to bright so i have an extra speaker i cant use.
You sound quite nice through this amp. I also received a Champ 600 and first changed the speaker cloth, then put some new tubes in. I used a EH12AX7 (new Elextrolux) and an old GE 6V6. It's almost "there" but I think I will give the stock speaker a couple of weeks to open up before deciding on a speaker change. I run a MIA Tele and MIA strat and enjoy the chime in the high notes and warmth in the overall sound with a hint of distortion in the notes with the amp at half power.
I just installed the Weber 6in Sig. Ceramic Magnet speaker in my roland microcube. The speaker is heavy with a a powerful magnet. Buy Weber speakers everyone. Do not mess around with that Jensen Mod stuff because it is not as good. Weber are the end-all. 6inch 15watt (4ohm)ceramic speaker for around 32$ plus around 8 dollars shipping. you cannot beat that. The Weber Alnico in this video is a 4ohm 6inch alnico speaker and it costs 48$ plus 8$ to ship. I am happy with old school ceramic.
The Jensen worked for me until I tried a 7 1/2" zenith alnico from an antique radio. The amp sounds better in every way possible. If i knew what this amp could deliver with a quality speaker i would never have bought the jenson 6".

Hola Yo tengo dos champion 600 toco con violin pero con volúmenes muy bajos. Suenan increible. saludos desde mexico y felicidades buena idea
I think the potato sack is the real secret to making any amp sound good. Amp sounds really good. Those tubes are not so easy to get.

Also i think those high dollar pickups in that guitar make a difference.
Yo tengo uno igual. Le coloqué un Jensen pero no soporta los graves. ¿Cómo podría conseguir un Weber aquí en España? Muchas gracias
=) love the potato sack
Gracias por el video!
Realmente notaste muchas diferencias entre el "antes" y el "despues"?
Saludos!
How did you like the Weber speaker? What was the main difference (tone) between the stock and mod speaker? Cheers!
awesome sound. A lot of work makes me wonder if it's worth it to get the amp?
The cloth is gonna wear out in a year.
