Up for sale, a 1971 Fender Vibrolux Reverb in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a vintage tube set and two-button footswitch. Clean, original and freshly serviced, this Vibrolux is stage and studio ready, loaded with a bevy of vintage tubes including a pair of Phillips-branded 6L6 power tubes.
With good reason, the Vibrolux is one of the most desirable Fender 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 ceramic magnet 10" 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.
All of the transformers are manufactured by Fender's primary transformer supplier in this era, Schumacher, with source date codes from 1971. The preamp is 100% original save for two capacitors in the bias section, all of the original CTS pots are intact, and the chassis stamp reads Sept 16th, 1971. The power supply has also been professionally recapped with high quality F&Ts, and a three-prong power cable has been installed. Given a full checkup by our techs here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar, all pots, switches, jacks and tube sockets have been thoroughly cleaned. The tube complement includes a pair of Phillips-branded 6L6 power tubes, an RCA 5U4 rectifier, and nearly all of the original Phillips-branded tubes in the preamp.
The Oxford 10L5 ceramic magnet 10" speakers are the original matched pair with black frames and blue Fender foil stickers on the ceramic magnets. The stickers on the edges of the frames are dated to the 21st week of '71. The tube chart is intact inside the cabinet as well.
The original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth with turquoise stripe are intact, with only very light wear on the enclosure edges. Original hardware includes the handle caps, chassis straps, corners, sphinx glides (feet) and raised logo. The faceplate is particularly well-kept with a full complement of witch hat knobs.
The original two-button footswitch is included.
