Vintage Tube Amp

Up for sale, a 1967 Fender Vibro Champ, freshly serviced, very original, and quite clean cosmetically. This little Blackface-era Fender wonder delivers five watts of pure Class A tube tone. A surprisingly loud amp with the original alnico 8 speaker, this Vibro Champ has just the right amount of glassy, sparkling clean tone before pushing into smooth, lightly compressed tube overdrive at about 4 on the volume knob. Dynamic, responsive, and absolutely huge sounding when you put a microphone in front of it, it’s hard to beat the Vibro Champ for pure simplicity and great tone. And of course, Fender’s lush sounding tremolo circuit has a strong pulse and wide range of speeds, perfect for subtle shifts in volume or machine gun chop. The circuit is very original, with only a few new Sprague electrolytics in the preamp to keep the amp operating optimally. The stock Schumacher-made transformers date between late 1966 and early’67, and the CTS pots date to the 42nd week of’66. The tube chart is clean and intact with a “QH” code which translates to August of 1967. The tube compliment includes a vintage USA-made (likely GE) 6V6 power tube, Sylvania 5Y3 rectifier, and a couple vintage 12AX7s. The speaker is the original Fender-branded Oxford 8 with a clean blue Fender label on the alnico magnet. The original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth are quite clean. The faceplate has only one visible scuff, complete with its full compliment of witch hat knobs. The stock handle caps, sphinx glides (feet), and chassis straps are all intact, and the hardware shows only light surface patina. Both back panels are original, and the tolex shows only light wear on a couple of the corners. This Vibro Champ is an ideal example of Blackface tone that sure to delight both discerning collectors and serious players.
