1968 Fender Vibro Champ Amp AA764 – Silverface – Drip Edge

We present an all original 1968 Fender Vibro Champ Amp AA764 – Silverface – Drip Edge. Made in Fullerton, California.

History

Fender introduced the new silver faceplate aesthetic, also known as ‘Silverface’, to their amplifiers in 1967. By 1968, the Champ Amp and Vibro Champ Amp were also sporting the new Silverface design. The earliest Silverface amps featured an aluminum trim edge, now known as the ‘Drip Edge’, as seen on this model. It’s also an indicator that this amp is internally the same as an earlier black panel ‘Blackface’ amp.

Condition

Overall, this beautiful Vibro Champ Amp is in excellent condition with only minor wear on the black tolex. The silver faceplate has some wear but remains quite clean. The blue “Vibro Champ Amp” text and all the stencils are fully visible and intact. The five black ‘witch hat’ knobs are in good condition with no breaks. It features the distinctive aluminum trim edge, known as the ‘Drip Edge’, which is also in good condition. The grill cloth is intact with no holes or notable wear and retains the original plastic Fender logo.

Originality

This 1968 Fender Vibro Champ Amp is completely original, featuring the original AA764 circuit – the same as the classic ‘Blackface’ models. The circuit is untouched. It includes the original 8″ Fender speaker, which is intact and fully functional. The original tube chart is present and in good condition. Note: Two screws behind the grill cloth on the inside are missing.

To keep it as original as possible, you’ll need a step-down transformer if you’re based in Europe. We have these in stock and they can be purchased through Guitar Hunter.
