Next up is one of my favourite amps, the Fender 68 Custom Vibrolux Reverb. In regular production since 2014, this amp delivers 35 watts through 2×10 inch Celestion Ten 30 speakers and is loud enough for many venues. This version of the Vibrolux has two channels, with the ‘Vintage’ channel reproducing the original sound and the ‘Custom’ channel using the Bassman tone circuit. This amp is even more versatile than the original!
This example dates to 2014, the first year of production, and is in very clean, undamaged condition and includes the Reverb/ Tremolo footswitch and vinyl slip cover.
“The guitarist with an eye and ear for late-’60s Fender silver panel style will love the Fender 68 Custom Vibrolux Reverb, which honors the classic look and great sound of that era’s amps. The moderately powered Vibrolux Reverb received a fresh new face in 1968—a silver-and-turquoise front panel with aluminum grille cloth trim, with tone, reverb and tremolo that was still pure Fender. That’s all available in the 2×10″ ’68 Custom Vibrolux Reverb, too, which also has modified all-tube circuitry, vintage channel for traditional silver face tone, custom channel with Bassman® tone stack, and reduced negative feedback for greater touch sensitivity and quicker gain onset.”
