"Worth the money!!!"

Feature:
Fender/Diaz and vibrato are least useful. Everything else is good. Parts are o.k. but Fender should have used better parts such as caps etc...considering the nearly boutique selling price.

Quality:
Fender Custom shop has great Quality Control by todays standard which would translate to average for the early to mid-1960's. Should last decades with some T.L.C.

Value:
Selling price in today's dollar comparable to selling price in 1960's dollars.

Desirability:
Practical addition

Sound:
This authentic AB763 circuit produces the rich classic Blackface tone through a fairly good Eminence speaker. Additional Diaz mod. is o.k. but not necessary. Stock 6L6 power tubes sound fine but install some good n.o.s. 12ax7/at7 in the pre-amp for better tone. Vibrato is weak like the original. A quality JBL D130 speaker clone would make it hard to beat.

Support:
No problems so far.

Overall:
The tonal characteristics of the the B.F. AB763 circuit through a 15 inch speaker is the reason I bought it. I would buy it again. I have owned and played through many pro amps. The only other amp I would like to have instead would be a new Standel with JBL D130.

"'64 VibroVerb Custum kicks @ss!"

Feature:
Has everything you need. No onbaord effects, but for what it's designed to do you really don't need anything other than reverb.

Quality:
Built like you'd expect from Fender--well made cab, no rattles.

Value:
A little pricey, but considering what a vintage one costs, plus the modification costs--it's worth every penney.

Desirability:
It's cool looking--everyone of my guitar buddies' eyes lit up when they saw it.

Sound:
SRV tone to the max! Very touch dynamic, really makes my Strat my favorite axe. A definite Blues machine.

Support:
Haven't needed to use, but I called once about biasing for tubes--courteous and friendly.

Overall:
Great amp--I run a multi-amp setup, and it blends easily with my '57 Bassman. I run a THD HotPlate with it to quiet it down in my house--works great. I also run a Vibratone cab with it...SRV sound without a doubt.

About This Product!
Description
This all-tube, completely hand-wired combo amp is the first addition to Fender's "Custom" series since the mid '90s. The Vibroverb was designed with legendary "Amp Doctor" Cesar Diaz, who contributed his favorite modifications. Designed with a solid-finger-jointed pine cabinet for thick, resonant tone and the unique, throaty sound of a 15 in. speaker, this 50-watt is even more than the gorgeous reissue it appears to be. Rear panel Mod and Rectifier switches vault your tone from vintage Blackface to hot-rodded "Texas Blues". Features include 2 independent channels, Tube driven Spring Reverb, and Tube Vibrato. And like all the best Fender amps, the sensitivity to your picking dymics and guitar knob settings is incredible.

The Rebirth of the Vibroverb Amp
In the summer of 2001 Fender was approached by C
