Up for sale, a 1975 Fender Vibrosonic Reverb, freshly serviced and loaded with a JBL D140F 15" speaker. A relatively rare vintage Silverface-era Fender amp, the Vibrosonic uses the 100 watt all-tube platform of the venerable Twin Reverb and pairs it with a single 15" speaker. Perfect for situations where maximum headroom, power, and crystalline cleans are essential, the extremely efficient JBL D140F speaker compliments the circuit perfectly. Whether you want aggressive Tele snap, the rich textures of a pedal steel, or the polyphony and powerful bass response of a Fender Rhodes piano, the Vibrosonic is an ideal choice. The amp also features Fender's tube-driven Reverb and Vibrato (technically tremolo), which add extra dimension to the tone and can be accessed via the included two-button footswitch.The circuit is very original and recently serviced, with stock Schumacher transformers that date between late 1973 and '75. All of the original blue molded capacitors are intact in the preamp, and the original CTS pots with visible date codes from '75. The power supply has been professionally recapped with high quality Sprague Atoms, ensuring years of future trouble-free operation. The tube complement consists of a matched quartet of properly biased Electro Harmonix 6L6s, along with a host of modern preamp tubes.The speaker is among the most robust used in any Fender amp, and the JBL D140F (F for Fender) was engineered for its clarity, power and efficiency (the speaker is from the 1960s, pre-dating the amp). The tube chart is intact inside the cabinet.The amp retains its original smooth black tolex which has been worn from gigging use and scrubbed clean, presenting more flat and with less texturing than when the tolex was new. The original silver sparkle grillcloth with orange stripe is also intact, exhibiting numerous small holes, yet securely adhered to the grill frame. The Silverface faceplate retains all of its original turquoise text and full complement of black witch hat knobs, and all of the original hardware is intact including the tilt-back chrome legs, corners, handle caps, chassis straps, and sphinx glides (feet).A modern two-button Reverb/Vibrato footswitch is included.
