Blues Land Tweed Combo (Champ Clone)

For your consideration, Garrett Park Guitars presents this Blues Land boutique tweed-style tube combo, hand-built by Woody Wolfe in Minnesota.

Operating from the mid-1990s to early 2000s, Blues Land crafted a small series of Fender-inspired amps that captured the essence of the classic tweed era while bringing a modern sensibility to the circuit. These amps were not strict clones, but thoughtful homages—delivering the dynamic touch, harmonic richness, and expressive simplicity that defined vintage Fender Champs, with a boutique, hand-built character all their own.

This amp is in excellent cosmetic and functional condition. The lacquered tweed cabinet shows minimal wear, with the only notable cosmetic imperfection being some softening of the lettering on the control plate. Otherwise, the amp presents beautifully, reflecting careful ownership and limited use. Functionally, it operates flawlessly, offering the immediacy, warmth, and nuanced response players expect from a hand-built low-wattage tube amp.

Internally, this example features a Weber CVA8 speaker (2019), which provides articulate clarity, punchy midrange, and excellent dynamic response. The transformers appear vintage, and the tube complement includes a Philco 6V6GT power tube, 12AX7 preamp tube, and a Hammond 5Y3 rectifier. Together, these components deliver the smooth, touch-sensitive tone that makes these amps so inspiring to play.

The cabinet is unmarked but well-constructed from quality wood and finished beautifully in lacquered tweed, giving it a resonant, authentic feel. Overall, this Blues Land amplifier is a rare, boutique-built tweed-style amp in outstanding condition, perfect for collectors and players who appreciate the spirit of vintage Fender circuitry in a modern, hand-crafted package.
