1978 Fender Vibrolux Reverb – All Original Transformers – Blue Label Speakers – Amazing Tone!


Up for sale is a fantastic late-‘70s Fender Vibrolux Reverb that delivers everything you’d expect from a great vintage Fender: lush tube reverb, rich harmonic vibrato, beautiful cleans, and excellent pedal platform performance.

This amp is a late 1978 example with matching original Schumacher transformers dating to 1978. It retains its original silverface cosmetics, pull-boost master volume circuit, and original blue-label Fender speakers.

The amp sounds incredible. Strong, articulate cleans with plenty of headroom, and that unmistakable Fender sparkle that made the Vibrolux Reverb a favorite among gigging musicians. The reverb is deep and lush, and the vibrato functions as it should.

Condition

Very good vintage condition.

The cabinet, grille cloth, and faceplate present nicely for a nearly 50-year-old amplifier. There is normal cosmetic wear consistent with age, including some oxidation on metal hardware and transformer covers. Please review all photos carefully.

The amp was recently acquired from a longtime owner and remains a wonderful player-grade vintage Fender. It has a slight smoke odor common to many vintage amps from this era, though the cabinet has been cleaned & amp have been professional cleaned. You'll be impressed!
