Short answer,Nope, sorry, it’s like comparing apples to oranges.

The specs on the Fender Champ x-formers are:

Power Transformer;
main sec. 650v–(at)–70mA
heater 6.3v–(at)–2A
heater 5v–(at)–2A

Output Transformer;
Primary 7000ohms Secondary 4ohms–(at)–8 watts

If you want to construct a small amp with a “Plexi” type pre-amp and 2
EL-84 output tubes try the AX-84 project here;
http://www.intsys.net/ax84/index.html

Lots of good schematics. I think the one you’d be interested in is the
“Moonlight” if I remembered the name correctly. At any rate, there is an
ongoing discussion there about the amp projects, and some parts
availability.

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.

Playing "Help-Me" In the Style of Sonny Boy Williamson II: A step by step, note for note analysis of some of Sonny Boy's Signature Riffs
