Fender '68 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb Tube Amplifier (5 Watts, 1x10")

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Packed with a 10" speaker and onboard reverb, the '68 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb is a bite-sized amp perfect for practicing in an apartment or a bedroom.

The '68 Customs have become an extremely popular amp series for guitarists who love classic Fender sounds along with toneful modifications that resonate with today's players.

At just 5 watts, the original Vibro Champ was famous for classic Fender tremolo, tube sparkle and killer grind at a reasonable level. The '68 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb improves on this classic amp by adding hall-emulating DSP reverb and using a larger 10" speaker for increased low end. These additions make this little wonder perfect for rehearsal, home recording and even small gigs.

Well it’s an expensive little sucker. I currently have a Vox ac15. Different kind of clean. A chime versus Fender sparkle. The problem is even though it has a boost channel it still has to be cranked a bit to get those tubes to flutter. Not a problem if you’re a gigging musician which I no longer am. It’s also quite a beast to lug around. It’s a classic so I will keep it. I was searching for a low watt tube amp that breaks up at a reasonable volume and the Vibro Champ fits the bill. The tube tremolo is excellent and the hall reverb is different perhaps a bit drier then spring but I want to say more spacious.Just a bass and treble eq but that works fine. Control your over drive with the volume on amp and guitar and you can tweak it any way you want. I run a Strat HSS, a Tele, and an Epiphone Sheraton through it. I will say the humbuckers seem a little muddy to me but I’m sure they will clean up when I get the amp dialed in. Single coils well there isn’t to my knowledge a better combo then Fender singles and this amp. You really have to hear it. Several vids on You Tube some comps with a vintage 57 ? Vibro Champ. I couldn’t tell a difference. This is a loud 5watts if you want it to be but it’s a coffee house, studio, basement thing. A drummer would mash it. Maybe get by with bongos. I guess you could mike it but why? It’s exactly what it’s supposed to be and it does it as good as anything I have heard. CONS: expensive, no foot switch but it does come with a read more cover
