if those champion 600s had at least treble & bass they'd be a great option.
valve juniors are great.

I think the champ 600 I have is the piece of gear that I've hung on to the longest. Awesome amp.
Theres a brand of amps that were made back in the 60s under CMI named Kalamazoo, you can usually find the little ones for really cheap still. Really nice sounding little amps.
I bought a Reverb 12 for 40 bucks a couple years ago.
who made the Reverb 12?
