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.
New for this generation of guitarists is the Mesa Boogie Recto-Verb 1×12 combo, retaining all the similar Rectifier series features and more.
The Fillmore 25 watt 1×12 combo is Mesa’s take on the classic voicings of the 50’s and 60’s. This amp covers a range of tones from the lovely edge of breakup style cleans to a warm crunch and a saturated thick overdrive.
Here is a great condition Fender 68 Custom Vibrolux Reverb, delivering 35 watts through a pair of 10 inch Celestion Ten 30 speakers.
