Based on the well established Champ amp, the Fender Vibro Champ Amp was built from 1964 to 1982. In addition to the Vibrato circuit and its speed and intensity controls, this model gained Treble and Bass tone controls.
The Fender Champ Amp first appeared in 1948 as the Champion 800, a four-watt amp with an eight inch speaker.
The Marshall Handwired 1974x is an 18-watt, 1×12 inch tube combo amp that reproduces one of the key amps in Marshall’s history, and here is accompanied by the matching 1×12 cabinet.
Here is a great condition Fender 68 Custom Vibrolux Reverb, delivering 35 watts through a pair of 10 inch Celestion Ten 30 speakers.
The Victoria Ivy League is based on the classic Fender Harvard 5F10 amp produced from 1955 to 1961, positioned between the Princeton and the Deluxe. This amp has a date code of 10/12, indicating October of 2012 and was built at Naperville Illinois. It has been used as intended, and shows expected wear to the tweed covering.
