1964 Fender Vibroverb Amp Export Version – Blackface
We present an original 1964 Fender Vibroverb Amp – Blackface. Made in Fullerton, California.
This is a rare 1964 Fender Vibroverb blackface amplifier in excellent condition. It’s the super-rare export version (EU power) of an already rare amplifier. The Fender Vibroverb is a great example of Fender’s rarest and most desirable blackface amp. The Vibroverb was only made during the Pre-CBS Fender era, lasting from late 1963 through 1964. Best known for its association with Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The amplifier delivers 40 all-tube watts with a dual-channel design and tube rectifier. The tone is clear and powerful, with dynamic Fender cleans that sparkle and twang. The original speaker keeps the signal tight, with very little speaker cone distortion even at high volumes, allowing the light compression and velvety tube overdrive of the circuit to be heard with stunning clarity when the amp is pushed near 10 on the volume dial.
The reverb has plenty of splash and dimension with a long decay, and the vibrato (technically tremolo) has a strong, smooth pulse. The circuit is in great shape, with the original transformers. All of the original CTS pots are intact. It has been serviced with some new capacitors and resistors so it runs perfectly. A newer power prong cable has also been installed.
Cosmetically, this amp retains its original smooth black tolex, which is in excellent shape, and silver sparkle grillcloth. Comes complete with its original pending tilt-back legs, sphinx glides, and handle caps, as well as its original footswitch.
Even comes complete with a custom flight case.
