Looking for an incredible sounding boutique amp oozing with vintage tweed vibe? If so, check out the Victoria 5112 boutique Fender tweed champ.  The Victoria 5112 features a very true recreation of the 5F1 circuit created by Leo Fender and used in the Champs produced between 1957 and 1961.  The only differences is that these new amps use an Eminence Legend twelve inch speaker (the original used a ten inch) and are built in a larger Deluxe solid pine case.  The entire amp is, of course, hand-wired.  The case creates a superb sounding natural reverb.  In fact, the amp doesn’t feature a reverb option at all.

Victoria Amplifiers were created by Mark Baier who wanted a ‘50s style amp that could handle the needs of modern day players. His main inspiration was Leo Fender and the designs of early tweed and blackface amps.
In his faithful recreations of these early classics, Baier makes use of original circuits including transformers, capacitors, resistors, eyelet boards, pots, and the like. These amplifiers combine modern fidelity with classic taste.
