The Fender '68 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb is the evolution of a studio legend. Renowned for delivering classic Fender tube sparkle and killer grind at reasonable volumes, this "Silverface" reissue improves on the original formula by adding a lush hall reverb and a larger 10" speaker for a significantly richer low-end response.
Why this '68 Custom stands out:
- Modified Vibro Champ Circuitry: Features Custom-made Schumacher Transformers (just like the 1960s originals) for authentic vintage feel and reliability.
- Upgraded 10" Celestion® Ten 30 Speaker: Operating at 3.2 Ohms, this speaker was specifically chosen to provide increased bass response and a fuller tonal spectrum compared to the original 8" models.
- Pure Tube Power: 5 Watts (Class A) driven by two 12AX7 preamp tubes and one 6V6 power tube.
- Premium Effects: Authentic Fender tube-driven tremolo combined with a specially voiced digital Hall Reverb for world-class spatial depth.
- Classic 1968 Styling: Silver aluminum panel with "Drip Edge" silver turquoise grille cloth for that iconic late-60s Fender aesthetic.
