The speaker is a vintage’70s era Fender-branded Oxford 8 with a clean Fender stamp on the alnico magnet. The original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth are intact, with some aging of the gloss and one snag below the Fender logo. The faceplate is well-kept, 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 sparingly little surface patina. This Vibro Champ is an ideal example of Blackface tone that sure to delight both collectors and serious players.

One of the first Silverface-era Fender amps produced, this Vibro Champ features “Drip Edge, Black Line” cosmetics, with aluminum trim framing the grillcloth and slender vertical black lines on the faceplate. Under the hood the circuit is identical to Fender’s Blackface amps of just a few months prior, and the Vibro Champ’s five watt Class A circuit delivers clear, chiming cleans and raucous, sizzling drive with a twist of the Volume knob. The Vibrato has a nice pulse and chop too, and this amp is a studio and apartment-friendly combo that delivers a dynamic, sparkling vintage Fender sound.

All of the original pots are intact save one, and the preamp only has a few new capacitors as necessary to keep the amp functioning optimally. The tube compliment includes a modern Grooves Tubes 6V6 power tube, with a vintage Jan/Phillips 5Y3 rectifier and pair of modern preamp tubes. The speaker is a modern 8 replacement courtesy of Weber, and the ceramic magnet keeps the low end tighter and fuller than the stock speaker.

Up for sale, a 1967 Fender Vibro Champ in excellent condition and in perfect working order. 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 delivers 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 stock Schumacher transformers that date between late 66 and mid 1967, and pots that date to the 42nd week of 66. The circuit features a brand new multi-section filter can cap along with a couple new Sprague capacitors in the preamp to ensure optimal functionality. The tube chart is very clean and fully intact, with an “QB” code which translates to February of 1967. The speaker is the original Fender-branded Oxford 8 with a clean blue Fender foil label on the alnico magnet. The original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth is quite clean. All of the stock hardware is intact, with light patina on the original handle caps and sphinx glides. The tolex is free of notable wear, and the grillcloth has only light aging, with the original raised Fender badge intact. The faceplate is very clean with its full compliment of black witch hat knobs, and this Vibro Champ is an ideal specimen of Class A Blackface Fender tone.
