"Pick of the Day" - 1965 Fender Vibrolux Reverb
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- Today's amplifier is a prime example of the venerable Fender Vibrolux Reverb from one of the best eras in Fender amp history, this one specifically an early 1965 model! These amps are 35w in a compact 2x10 combo, with the Oxford speaker option, driven by 6L6 tubes. This particular amp has incredible vibrato and reverb, all around leading to one of the best Vibrolux Reverb sounds we've heard! The amp is in great physical condition and all original, right down to the footswitch. Today Trevor has his custom Pin-up strat built by Eric Daw, to touch on the wonderful cleans these amps can create.
This amp just landed in the shop, so give us a call for more details!

Great playing. Great sounds!!
Probably the best tone you guys have ever got on POTD, great job
Agree, this is brilliant
Agreed, holy smokes!
Dear Lord! That's the heaven sound..
Sounds amazing. The reissues are really good too.
Underrated model. You don't see these very often.
If you ever wished your Deluxe Reverb had more wattage, this is where you go. In spite of the prejudice against Silver Face Fenders, my '78 sounds lush and fat. When I bought it, the first stop was my amp tech (El Roy). We opened it up and found a completely original amp. My first impulse was to have him mod it to Black Face specs, but it sounded so good that he stopped me. He had me take it home and to a few gigs. I'm glad he did, there's no sense in modding a fat, luscious sounding amp. Thank you, El Roy!!
Holy lord !!!! Man that’s the sound !
Great playing to dig hard into the deep indulgences of amplifiction!
i watched the video five times in a row
I’ve watched this video so many times. Absolutely love this amp.
You really know how to demo an amp! Man, you knocked it out of the park. 🙏
The amp sounds truly amazing and he's a great salesman. That's the best way of saying this thing smells like a dirty cigarette, I've ever heard lol. But in all seriousness, sounds so good.
As much as I hate cigarettes, I have to say that sometime I think those are what makes the difference in those better sounding guitars and amps from the past ...
Wow. sounds great. All the chime and headroom you'd expect but with it's own personality. Beautiful demo and nice lead in.
Phenomenal reverb! I wanna try it with my Fender if possible.
That’s an incredible fender tone. Gorgeous ❤
Dear lord ... I want this amp so bad!!!
Sounds so good! Nice playing Trevor.
I know everyone's going nuts for the amp but now you've got me thinking about a Pin-Up strat...there's something raw about it in a great way...
Killer, killer sounda. Thanks for sharing, man.
simply brilliant
Fantastic sound! 😮
this is the coolest amp I've ever heard god damn!!!
I have a 1966, last of the Blackface, second owner, have owned it since January of 1969. I have the original cover, it IS plain, no logo. The original buyer played both an Oxford and Jensen equipped Vibrolux at the store, Beaverton Music, in Beaverton Oregon USA and had them blend drivers.. so from the store it has one Oxford and one Jensen. Mine is physically cleaner than then the example you show, though for 30 years it sat on casters, now back on the original button feet, so there are tell-tale witness marks of the 4 small screws used on each
caster. My grill cloth is not browned out, still sparkly and blue-ish. Its is still dead stock as built with the exception of one thing, the RCA plugs and the co-axial wires on the foot pedal were upgraded. The original actually sound bad and degrade the amp clarity when plugged in. I prefer Telefunkin long plate 12AX7 and 12AT7 tubes, but in recent years these have gone nuts in price... The JJ replica of the 12AX7 is not bad. Power tubes, I prefer genuine NOS vintage Gold Lion from the UK. They too have gone stupid in price, but for gigging, as in just using them up, use a modern currently made set of tubes. Save the rare high dollar outputs for the most important sessions.
Absolute perfection.
Spectacular!!!!
Dude that guitar sounds killer!
My 65 Vibrolux Reverb has the FEIC front plate and FMIC plate. Same speakers as this as well... It’s an absolute gem!
Bottom of the bin!
The knobs with the wacky 8's
I have the same year, same speakers, cleanest One owner never left one room, non smoker amp i ever bought
Reverb is MASSIVE!
Run the reverb return from the tank, into the NORMAL channel. Roll off most of the bass, run the treble up to 8/9, maybe even hit the "BRIGHT" switch. You will be loving life. You will need some obvious connector cables/plugs to make it happen, but no biggie ... Sounds wonderful. You will be hearing more guitar and less of the "mechanical" function of the reverb tank.
So lush!
Beautiful sound, even though the iPhone speaker! In person must be something! I’m not much of a reverb person, but that reverb could convert me!
I think you more than nailed the SRV tone!
Such a beautiful sounding amp.
juicy baby!
I’m gonna build one
Sounds like a 60s blackface twin / deluxe/ vibro in good shape
There are companies that specialize in removing odours through ionization that insurance companies use that would likely take care of any smell.
Yeah...I kinda want that. I thought I was done buying amps but I might be wrong.
Nice!😀, sounds very Pink-floydy to me...
I think gilmour played a twin.
It has the Oxford ceramic speakers?
I've long had a theory that cigarette smoke does something special to guitars and amplifiers ... along with lots of electricity run through 'em! But DON'T SMOKE! Just play!!
Hey gents at Emerald, curious to know if this is a noisy amp? Sounds quite clean when recorded, im assuming it was dimed? My 64 is very noisy with reverb around 3-5.
Neck pickup all day. Bridge I didn’t like as much. Wow though
Great amps! Love em! Too bad they were overshadowed by the Blackface Super Reverbs!
Too bad they are so well liked and therefore, so costly!!
however, almost no-one professional or otherwise, plays songs using that tone today. if someone has a 1950s-60s retro surf band, you have the amp. that has 6L6 tubes, the original 1956 Vibrolux had 6v6.
Great demo but I would have loved to hear humbuckers through it for even 30 seconds…
Are you selling it? I am looking to buy one right now.
It’s sold?
Those are the Oxford 10L5?
Was this ThE AMP of srv?
No, Stevie used Vibroverbs and Super Reverbs.
Nice sounding amp. HOWEVER! He's not your "old man". He's your father. Someday you'll understand that.
What the shit. I’m from Aberdeen.
It's hard finding a home when you are smell8ng of Cigarettes but oh the stories it can tell!
I take it you like tons of reverb…..
AA864curcuit sounds better than ABcurcuit.
Great to take a Vibrolux with you ... But Do NOT go to the grave without Jesus ... :-)
🚬🥃🎚📻🎵🧲🫀👍
I can give you my address ...
So if you are selling it send me an email about it
I’ve got one I’ve had 45 years- See my page to hear it-
Sorry, both amps sound mushy.
Whats the difference honestly. It's a marketing pitch by fender in the 60s. Its the same as a twin of deluxe . both have vibrato and reverb. Someone tell me the actual difference .
Wattage! Break up levels /volume/ head room. That's the main difference!
@@emeraldcityguitars thank you. I love your channel .
@@jacobm7421 6L6 vs 6V6. output transformer that is smaller in proportion compared to the Deluxe reverb and the twin. What ever the values of the resistors and caps have veered off to that make it sound magical! Great sounding amp! Sorry to say but this amp isn't going to stick around for 10 years
I also believe the vibrolux had a preferable trem circuit when compared to a deluxe reverb.
Coming back to say I was wrong about this. I think that weird vibrolux fender made in the 90s had bias trem but this amp had optical trem I believe
Yak To much treble for me
Turn down the god damn reverb so we can hear the amp.
@Ronald Drump just because it has reverb in the name doesn't mean you have to crank the damn dial. Lol
But... whatever you like.
