Up for sale, a 1967 Fender Vibrolux Reverb in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original two-button footswitch. Extremely original and outfitted with a complete vintage tube set, this amp is loaded with a bevy of premium tubes including a General Electric 6L6GC power tube pair, and all RCA and Telefunken-branded valves in the preamp.
With good reason, the Vibrolux is one of the most desirable Fender Black Panel models for its ideal size and power, well-suited to both stage and studio applications. The amp delivers sparkling cut and muscle, and a surprising amount of headroom, cascading into lightly compressed tube overdrive when pushing towards 10 on the Volume dial. Offering 35 tube watts through the original Oxford 10L5 speaker pair, the Vibrolux is the perfect platform for getting the most out of a variety of guitars and stompboxes. Clean and sweet up til about 5 on the volume knob (with a perceived volume that's loud enough to keep up with an aggressive drummer), the Vibrolux has clear note attack and sweet tube rectifier sag, not to mention lush tube-driven Reverb and percussive Tremolo.
The preamp is 100% original, retaining a full complement of original blue molded Ajax caps, a key ingredient in the sweet, musical character of Fender's Black Panel circuits. All of the transformers are manufactured by Fender's primary transformer supplier in this era, Schumacher, and the output transformer, reverb transformer and choke all have source date codes from 1966. The power transformer is a vintage replacement (also Schumacher), quite likely swapped at the Fender factory and dating to 1970. All of the original CTS pots are intact too, with visible date codes from '66. Even the power supply retains all of its original (and still viable) Mallory capacitors.
The Oxford 10L5 10" speakers are the original matched pair with black frames and foil stickers on the ceramic magnets, dating to the 1st week of '67. These speakers are the perfect pairing for the Vibrolux circuit, yielding a sweet high treble roll-off and plenty of clarity and midrange smoothness. The tube chart is intact, with a "QB" date stamp which translates to February of 1967.
The original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth are intact, with sparingly little tolex wear and some darkening of the grillcloth. The hardware includes the full complement of witch hat knobs, the raised Fender logo, handle caps, chassis straps, corners, and sphinx glides (feet).
The original two-button footswitch is included.
