In a historic collaboration, Fender introduces its first artist signature
amplifiers – EC Series amps bearing the name of legendary guitarist Eric
Clapton.
Built to the exacting specifications of Clapton himself, the three amps –
the EC Twinolux™, EC Tremolux™ and EC Vibro-Champ™ –
are fascinating variations on their original ’50s-era ancestors
(the ’57 Twin™, ’57 Deluxe™ and ’57 Champ™,
respectively), and are our answer to his call for special models with distinctive
features.
Handmade in the United States, all three amp models feature ’50s-era output
tube bias tremolo (which produces a more throbbing pulse than later Fender tremolo
circuits) and a switchable power attenuator (reduces speaker output), in addition to
other premium features.
In a historic career now in its sixth decade, Eric Clapton
has long been known as one of the world’s foremost exponents of classic Fender
tweed amp tone, and the three new amps bearing his imprint present the pinnacle of
personally inspired amp tone for stage and studio alike. Each is a must for Clapton
fans and guitarists who want the ultimate in tweed tube amp performance.
