Weight is more like 46.5lbs for my ’66 with original Jensen C10P’s.

Luca Benedetti,

You probably know this, but…Make sure you have the footswitch plugged in. I have a ‘64 and I owned it for about 30 years without a footswitch, assuming the vibrato didn’t work before I found that it needs the footswitch to make vibrato work.

Phil Paige,

i have a 1964 fender vibrolux reverb all original but the tremolo doesn’t work. i was told to change the tremolo capacitors the.01 .01 and the.02 but i dont know what the voltage is . Can you give me some information on the voltage thanks.

kevin hayley,

I just purchased an all original excellent condition (pre-cbs) 1965 blackface virbrolux reverb for a little over two-thousand dollars which I believe is not a bad price. I believe the price range is from $2,500 to $3,500 depending on condition and production date.

Christian Romano,

Bought my ’63 (blackface) Vibrolux some years ago, at a garage sale, for the princely sum of $150!!! WOW!!! What a steal!!! I am a Telecaster guy who does mostly 50s and 60s Country (what I call “rhinestone suit” music), so the Vibro is obviously just the amp for me: clean and clear, great-sounding “Grand Canyon” reverb, and the most intense tremolo I have ever heard!!! No need for any stomp boxes with this baby–just plug-it-in and play. YEE-HAW!!! Look out, Buck Owens!!!
