The Premier amp is as original as I can make it. The Champ is highly modified, with a 10-inch speaker, bigger transformers, and other tweaks. You can find the details here: http://bluesharpamps.blogspot.com/2012/10/irrational-harp-tinkering.html

As I played the two amps I had them set up to sound as similar as I could get. It is funny that they sound so different in the video.

Rick, I like the sound of that Premier. Is it a twin 8?

Rick obviously the Premier is sweet but I have to say that champ is a very good sounding silverface champ. Great tone!!
