Fender '63 Vibro-Verb Reissue 2x10 40w

Fender first introduced the Vibroverb in the early part of 1963. Unlike many of the other Fender amplifiers that were produced for years, this version of the Vibroverb had a production life of less than 4 months. It is estimated that fewer than 600 Vibroverb units were ever produced. This limited production is one of the reasons this amplifier has become highly sought after by vintage amp collectors. The Vibroverb was the first Fender production model to have both reverb and vibrato as built-in “effects”. The reissue differs in several ways from the original, most notably is the solid state rectifier, printed circuit board and hardwired reverb cables. The Vibroverb is unique in Fender amplifier history by the implementation of its tone circuit. The Vibroverb was the first and ONLY Fender amplifier to use this type of tone circuit. The treble control is “tapped,” meaning it responds more like an active tone control allowing boost AND cut of high frequencies. Conventional Fender tone circuits provide a small amount of tone shaping even in the “0” position, but if the Vibroverb Treble Control is set to about “5”, the response is flat. This thing is a lean, mean Fender machine and there aren't a whole lot of them out there in the wild. Don't miss out on this one.

This is a USED amplifier in VERY GOOD condition. The tolex, grille and overall cosmetic condition are consistent with it's age. All electronics function normally and have been tested thoroughly.
