Up for sale, a 1958 Fender Vibrolux in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original Victoria Luggage cover. Loaded with a pair of vintage RCA 6V6 power tubes, this narrow panel tweed-era Vibrolux amp has the coveted 5F11 circuit, offering a range of dynamic tones to match its good looks. The sound is shimmering and harmonically rich, delivering round cleans and overdriven grit and bite higher on the Volume dial, cascading into ripping tube saturation at its highest settings. The tremolo is bias-based and has a strong pulse, with a smooth waveform and plenty of intensity and present percussive chop.
The circuit features the original Triad-made transformer pair along with the full suite of CTS pots with visible date codes from the 19th week of ‘58. The preamp and power supply have been professionally recapped, with premium Jupiter-branded Astron-style caps in the preamp and Sprague Atoms in the power supply. A modern three-prong power cable has been installed. The tube set includes a RCA-branded 5Y3 rectifier and 6V6 power tube pair, with a combination of modern and vintage valves in the preamp.
The tube chart is intact, noting the 5F11 circuit, stamped "HJ," which dates to October of ‘58. The amp is loaded with the original Jensen P10R 10" speaker which has a dark blue/green frame, stock bell cover (complete with inspection sticker) and stamp on the edge of the frame from the 18th week of '58. The speaker has been professionally reconed.
The amp presents extremely well, and the original lacquered tweed is only modestly ambered, paired with the original oxblood/gold stripe grillcloth. The face of the amp retains its metal Vibrolux badge, and the stock leather handle is present too. The chassis is positively gleaming, with bright chrome plating, all of the original white silkscreen text intact, and stock chicken head knobs.
The original Victoria Luggage canvas slip cover is included.
