Vintage Tube Amp

1967 Fender Vibro Champ Vintage Blackface 1×8 Combo Tube Amp AA764 Electric Guitar Amplifier in overall excellent condition for its age. It appears to be all original except for the replaced tubes. The transformers and pots all date to 1966. Everything works perfectly with zero issues. The amp has zero hum and all controls have zero scratchiness. The tube tremolo works and sounds great. The only noticeable blemish is a small slit in the front grill cover. There are some typical tiny scuff marks throughout, but nothing major. This amp still has the two-print power cord. The service history is not known. Does not include any accessories. The Blackface Fender Vibro Champ was introduced in 1964 to build upon the success of the standard Champ Amp and ran until 1968, when cosmetic and circuit changes brought forth the “drip edge” Silverface amps. Still a Champ at heart, the Vibro Champ added a tube tremolo circuit with controls for Speed and Intensity, making this classic recording amp even more versatile without sacrificing any of the original tone.

Vintage 1965 Fender Bandmaster Blackface AB763 Guitar Tube Amplifier Amp Head. This amp dates to early/mid 1965. The amp was fitted long ago with a 1964 Twin/Showman transformer to accommodate four power tubes to have the option for more power. Very much like a Showman now with a little more mid bite. The rest of the iron is all original dating to 1965. Operates as stock when using only two power tubes running at 40 watts. The feel is there and has all the great tone youd expect from a classic amp such as this. The tone stack on these blackface Bandmasters is such a killer tone and there is good reason why these are such classics. This particular amp is no exception. This one will make somebody very happy. No foot switch included unfortunately. Includes brand new set of JJ pre amp tubes and matched quad of Tung Sol 7591A tubes.

THE AMP THAT NEVER LEFT HOME. PERFECT GRILL CLOTH – NO SMOKE STAINS!! NON SMOKING HOUSE —– ALL ORIGINAL AMP—- TIME WARP. COMES WITH ORIGINAL 60′s COVER (Not Repro). I bought this amp about 10 years ago from its original owner. It was bought in 67 by a guy that was going to learn guitar. It seemed like a good idea at the time but he never put the time in and the amp sat for 40 years in a bedroom closet. When I got it home, I powered it up with a variac just in case but there were no problems and everything checked out fine. I left it exactly as I found it, no mods, no components were replaced. The first 5 pics were taken this week, the rest were from 10 years ago when I had it apart. Sadly, Ive done the same thing as the original owner. It has sat in my closet with the cover on and has had less than 2 hours of use in the last 10 years. I’m not a guitar player, I play keys and will never get the proper enjoyment out of this amp.. This is a classic guitar players dream!!! I’ve heard this amp at the hands of a pro guitar player. The vibrato feature really makes this amp! TECHNICAL INFO – Amp is in excellent working condition. From the little I have used it, I haven’t had any issues at all. The power cord is the original one! It is nice and flexible with no cracks and I see no reason to replace it at this time how many 50 Y/O + amps can you say that about? Control knobs feel brand new because they have had no use to speak of! Sorry, the amp did not come with the foot pedal control so there is no control I can offer you. The pedal is needed to switch from vibrato mode to non-vibrato as you know. TERMS OF SALE – I offer this amp to someone that will hopefully enjoy it and use it more than once a year. Although it is in good working order now, anything can happen to a 54 year old amp with original components.

Here we have a beautiful vintage Fender Pro Reverb amplifier from 1966. Made in the USA. The Pro Reverb is a 2×12 all tube guitar combo amplifier. It is essentially half of a “Twin Reverb” It is a 40 watt amplifier and it sounds so sweet. The beauty of the Pro Reverb is you can turn it up to 6 or 7 for a gig or recording and get that sweet spot. The amplifier is in very very clean condition. So please take a look at all the photos and if you have any questions feel free to ask. There is some light seem splitting at the corners but no major tears or rips. The amplifier has been re-capped and also has had a 3 prong plug added and the death cap removed. The speakers are the original Jensen C12′s. One dates to 1965 and one dates to 1964. The faceplate on this amp seems to be a pre- CBS as it says “Fender Electric Instrument Co”. Most likely it was a leftover faceplate when this amp was built in 1966. The transformers and chassis serial number all date to 1966. The original foot switch is included but one of the buttons is a bit fussy. It works but can be intermittent. The amp has had a recent check up by our amp technician and has been given a clean bill of health. Now for the sound… What can we say really… It is a vintage Pro Reverb and it sounds sweet to the ears. You can really juice this one up and get the beautiful breakup that we all crave. The reverb sounds great as most of the blackface amps do. The Vibrato is working great too. If you have any questions please feel free to ask and of course feel free to Make Us and Offer! Please note that this is out of our hands. Feel free to send a message if you have any questions. We are a full service music store in the Long Island, NY Area.

The tube chart is fully intact with an “OF” stamp which translates to June of 1965. The tube compliment includes a modern Groove Tubes 6V6 power tube, vintage GE 5Y3 rectifier tube, and matched USA-made Sylvania preamp tubes. The original smooth black tolex and silver sparkle grillcloth are extremely clean, with very little darkening of the grillcloth and sparingly little wear on the tolex.
