Description: There are very few in the world like this one! Most likely a closet resident for many a year until it rolled into our shop a few years ago. This stunning example of 60's tube amp technology is amazing. The (2) UK made Mullard preamp tubes and Phillips 5Y3 rectifier suggest 60's manufacture, the JJ power amp tubes probably replaced by our tech when it first came in. The 2 ungrounded AC cable is still intact. There are no returns accepted unless received in otherwise as described condition, so please make sure this is the amp your're really after. There are (3) tiny 1/16" chrome check marks on the handle. Originally introduced in 1964, the Fender Vibro Champ is a 5-watt, easily portable amp that packs a punch. This version was only built for a few years, (64 - 67). It's based on the original champ, but with a tube tremolo circuit added. It quickly became a favorite of players that wanted classic Fender tone in a small box, and over the years it became studio staple can be heard on countless recordings. One of the coolest small amps Fender ever designed, the Fender Vibro Champ has a unique tremolo circuit that many claim is the best sounding one of any Fender amp. Fender’s “brownface” series era of amps was from 1960 to 1963. The “blackface” series starting in 1964 and went to 1967. Next was Fender’s “silverface” era. The “blackface” Fender amps were among the first to have an effect built right into the amp.Serial: # A03124Tube Chart Code: OL
