FRENZEL JF- 5E1 "Champ Pro"
FRENZEL JF- 5E1  "Champ Pro"

The concept for this amp was a no-frills, low priced, high quality low power practice amp. The FRENZEL JF-5E1 "Champ Pro" has all those features....plus a lot more.  It can be even be used for small venues or miked through the PA for larger venues....and it has a post-output transformer Line Out jack that can be used to drive a larger power amp. For you guys with solid-state amps...the Champ Pro will drive your solid state and give you great vintage tube tones.  . For those late night sessions, you can  unplug the speaker and use headphones in the Line Out jack. The internal load will protect the amp and give you speaker simulated tones. Another feature is that the Champ Pro is easy to use...just plug and play!  No tone stack adjustments.....just a volume control. You can use your guitar volume and tone controls to get your unique clean and overdrive levels and then set the amp Volume control for the desired playing level. The Champ Pro comes with our multi-valve output tube circuit that allows you to use a wide variety of output tubes. It will amaze you with its warm vintage 60's Fender Champ blues tones ....and of course, it is loaded with all the features that the Frenzel amps are famous for.
 
FEATURES:
 
Input and Output Jacks -  Isolated from the chassis for low noise, eddy currents, and hum.

Line Out Jack - Post output transformer LINE OUT with LINE OUT LEVEL control for driving a higher power amp, or for using this amp as a tube preamp/overdrive. Auto switching internal  load if speaker is not connected to give you loaded output distortion.  NOTE:  Also  great for  using headphones!
