about our clones
Our classic American tube amp clones are built from the “Golden Era” (1957–1964). We strictly replicate the original handwired construction methods using only the finest, selected materials. Every LHC amp is crafted to preserve the authentic tone and dynamics of the legendary circuits.

Even after more than 60 years, the Champ continues to delight musicians, standing out as an excellent practice and studio amp.

Tweed 8
The Champ Circuit Re-Imagined. Built on the beloved 5F1 Champ circuit, but completely re-voiced with a powerful 6L6 tube and a 10″ speaker. This LHC original design delivers a fuller, richer sound and more usable headroom than the classic Champ, making it a surprisingly potent small amp for recording or gigging.
One of the first amplifiers we created back in 2009.
