""The Vibro-King...Cream of the Vintage Tone Amps""

Feature:
I like the Fat/Vibrato Foot switch...I wish it handled reverb as well. however, with this beautiful reverb that's the Holy grail of Reverbs why would you want to turn it off anyway! very Colorful! It has a no nonsense tube compliment...

Quality:
Great construction and Cosmetically beautiful...I've got the Tan Oxblood model.

Value:
Worth the price...just like the Blues Jr.

Desirability:
It's really got sex appeal...women love it! It makes them groove to the music!

Sound:
This Amp has excellent tone through the entire volume spectrum. Good for any music especially Blues and Good Rock. The Pick Dynamics are second to none with a reverb that will have you melting inside. The Vabrato is excellect. This is in my opinion is the best of the fender Amps...or for that matter just about any Amp out there...I've played Amps that cost 10K that won't come close to this amp in tone. It's a TONE Monster! Simple to operate...no fancy lights and other gadget stuff to make you think "You Got A Sweet Deal"

Ease of Use:
This is the great thing about this amp...it's a basic Tone King...No unneeded gadgets...just great fender tone...second to none in my opinion. It's heavy, but dynamite comes in big packages most of the time...it's got guts in it's construction.

Support:
Fender is fender...they proud and expect you to know somthing about your product. They don't take stupid questions very well...Their very helpful in providing you with the closest Auth. fender Repair Facility. What more do you need...

Overall:
The best Amp if you expect good vintage fender tone...I wouldn't play through anything else these days...chunk those pedals fellas...this amp carries itself with great distinction! I really want the 2 - 12 extension cabinet...then the tone is unbeatable...

"If you like R & R, Rhythm and Blues, old, driven Fender amps....you will like the Vibroking"

Feature:
If you want 'features' and extras this is not really the amp for you. If you want a stripped down killer amp that will never leave you out of the mix...this is it.

Quality:
Everything was very well made and solid. A common complaint I have heard is that there are problems with the foot switch (reverb and fat). I, too, had the same problem and see the basic soldering at the jack that plugs into the amp often becomes disconnected INSIDE the jack. If you unscrew the plug and resolder it, your problems will be gone.

Value:
Very nice amp. I personally have found it very worth my investment. It has taken some occassional abuse and bumps but has been very dependable and I still enjoy mine almost 5 years after purchasing it.

Desirability:
It does look nice...

Sound:
The sound and 'color' of the Vibroking reminds me of older, pre CBS Fender amps after they had warmed up with age. The 'fat'switch gives you a strong, driven signal. The limitations would be that it will never offer the classic surf, super-clean sound of the Twins etc. If you want and need distortion you need another amp, modeler or outboard devise.

Ease of Use:
Being touch-sensitive like older amps, you really can be more expressive but if you are used to playing distortion and metal, you would probably not appreciate this amp. This is best for general Rock and Roll or Rhythm and blues, blues etc. Classic sounds and cry your heart out blues work well. This is a HEAVY amp and you feel it if you don't have roadies! I am surprized it doesn't come with rollers.

Support:
I was surprized that I reached a rep and he was very helpful to a degree.....when I wanted to know what 'hardness' of TUBE was STOCK in the Vibroking, not a single person at Fender knew! The recent VIBROKING's have the improved, vintage style, US made tubes. The are much much better right out of the box. Finally, it is hard as hell to find ANYONE that can set the BIAS when you change tubes!!! Are the new ones any better in that regard? BIAS problems with new tubes plagues soooooooo many Fender amp players....and they don't even know it!

Overall:
Still the best but I find for may gigs I can use a smaller amp with a modeler. I once used my Vibroking stack switching with a Mesa Boogie/Marshall stack.....I must be getting old because it isn't as much fun to lug all that stuff around any more! :)
