This mod is fairly easy to do with basic soldering skills and experience in working on electrical gear.
We go step by step and listen what a great sound we get after! It's a dirt cheap way to have the amp you actually wanted in the first place!

CONCLUSION:
The sounds that The Fender Champion 600 amp can deliver in this configuration, even with it's PCB design and otherwise stock components makes you wonder why no low-budget tweed version wasn't available in the first place. Especially when we see we mainly need to cut parts out and simplify the thing. I do would like to state that the stock amp sounds good on it's own and I might do a proper A-B comparison between both. Therefore keeping a stock one is also an idea, or make the tone stack mod switchable. But, I do imagine most recording and touring guitarists would go for the more desirable tone, harmonics and responsiveness of a tweed amp, no?
May this video please you!
