- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Take a sonic guided tour of the newest member of Fender’s ’68 Custom amp lineup, the ’68 Custom Vibrolux Reverb.
With its dual 10” Celestion® speakers, silver-and-turquoise control panel and sparkling silver grille cloth, the 35-watt ’68 Custom Vibrolux Reverb Amp pays tribute to the classic look, sound and performance of Fender’s late-’60s “silverface” amps. In a special design mod, both channels (“vintage” and “custom”) now have reverb and tremolo, and the custom channel has modified Bassman® tone circuitry that delivers more low end, earlier breakup and greater tonal flexibility with pedals. The amp also features quicker gain onset and reduced negative feedback for greater touch sensitivity.

I think this amp is definitely loud enough to play with a drummer and stay clean, which is what a lot of people seem to wonder about. I just bought one and it starts to break up around 5ish in the vintage channel. It's not as loud as a twin but when I had one of those I rarely had it above 3! Great sounding, portable amp.
I think this is the best sounding Fender amp I ever heard. I turned it up to 6, 7, 8 and was blown away. Perfect in every way. Could have jammed with it all night.
I played the 68 SFDR this weekend, took it thru its paces from low to soaring blowout and hardly any hiss at all.
Played on one with my Stratocaster...
It had an amazing clean tone, especially on the vintage channel. Gotta try it once!
Fender: Please start to make the ´63 Vibroverb RI again.. it was a fantastic, fantastic amp.. IMHO your best re-issue ever...
i have the 68' custom reverb and that thing is BEAST!!!
Yeah buddy same here! Fuckin monster!
Yep... Great amp, nothing else sounds like it.
I love Fender products. They are really special. Me being a big fan of Luther Perkins on guitar may have influenced that.
Shared reverb and trem is worth the price of admission. I used a deluxe reverb for a long time but like this one a bit better. I put creambacks in it and it rocks very nicely. Nice job fender.
hey fender; when are you gonna do a 63-64 VIBROVERB re-reissue
sempercompellis 1990.
🤣🤣🤣
@@sgtpeppers94 yes- exactly why I said " re -reissue"
Fender amps are amazing.
This guy delivered a great tone demo
65 deluxe reverb reissue, black face cut mids, 68 custom vibrolux reverb balanced bass, mids, and treble.
Two thumbs up and a very usable amp in all situations in my opinion.
I like this, I think if I had the money I would daisy chain this to my Frontman 212r
Thought it was "In Bloom" when this started.
Great sound here-- love it!
Damn, I thought I was set on the '68 Deluxe Reverb but this also has my interest too. Would this 35 watt amp be a significant difference compared to the 22 watt DR? I would want to try and control it for apartment levels though, it's possible but I'd want to know if the Vibro would still be doable.
my friend has an original one from 70s and its horribly loud. significant volume difference to 22w? no... 100w amp is not 10 times louder than 10w (more like two times)
ANY amp is "doable" anywhere by either using a speaker attenuator or simply running a clean boost into it. (Sounds big at low volumes.) 30 to 40 watts is the perfect gig size amp. A 22-watt Deluxe may cut it for smaller stuff, but unless you're playing little coffee houses and small bars I think you're going to feel under-powered in many situations. Better to have too much amplification than too little. Also, with many Fender 2-speaker amps you can simply yank the cord going to one of the speakers and cut the volume nearly in half. Owners of Vibrolux, Pro Reverb, and Twin Reverb amps are famous for doing this. In the case of the Twin, you can also pull two of the power tubes to cut power in half. As far as I'm concerned, this '68 Vibrolux is probably the 2nd most versatile good sounding amp Fender is currently making at a fair price. The HR Deville ML (this is different from other HD models) is probably a little better but 60-watts is a bit much. Having said that, you may be able to run JJ 6V6's in it to cut the power in half.
oh that deep throbbing effect :)
I had the oportunity of trying one of 68 custom deluxe...sound great, but its true..the crunch comes too soon, just with the level on n.3-4, the thing is that those amps have celestion speakers, that's great if you are looking for that sound, but itsnot a fender sound with jensen speaker. On the other hand, we must know they are mexican built, and thats can be great too. the think is what kind of sound are you looking for. I was thinking of buying one of this (twin or deluxe) but finally i'll try 65 deluxe reverb almost for sure!
I have a real 68' Vibrolux and it breaks up at the same settings. The reissue is very true to the original
you are lucky of having one original, my DR65 doesnt break so soon, but I love both sounds, this DR sweet clean and the other breaking...
That doesn't even make sense because it's not even a reissue. I have a 1975, which has the same circuit as a real 1968 Vibrolux. It sounds nothing like the new custom models, they are totally different amps.
The vintage amps have more clean headroom. More sag, different circuit, different speakers.
Like they said in the video, it's called a "68 custom because it shares the "drip edge" cosmetics. That's it.
Oooooh man!!! This amp is awesome!!! Sounds terrific!
Someone at Fender is a big Ryan Adams fan
I know why companies do it, but really dislike when they demo pedals with the amp. I want an extensive demo, completely raw, showcasing the amp at different settings. It's the make or break whether I spend my money and purchase.
I thought the speakers would have been to crunchy or too this or that. Played clean to a little breakup the most beautiful sounding speakers. Above that they get a little crunchier but still nice. The amp sounds great. I bought it sight unseen or heard. I thought this amp would suck. Total opposite its the best amp I've ever played or heard, period. A gretch hollow body threw this amp is awesome, multiply layers of harmonics!
Is this good for gigs? Sounds over drums and bass?
Why would you think it would suck? Fender is know for excellent amps, especially at this price range.
Looking for a new amp. For 60s garage/psych sound. Considering weight, sound, price, etc.
THIS or VOX ac30 handwired green backs?
the VOX
Fender amps are my favorite but for that style I´d get the VOX
:39 basement! 😂
+13 watts, 2 6L6 tubes, 2x10 speakers, bright normal switch for each channels
Did you say this was designed for earlier breakup? I don't want that. I need lots of clean headroom
Does anyone know how the vintage channel on this custom compares to a real silver face vibrolux? I played a ‘77 vibrolux years ago and fell in love. I’m Thinking about trying the custom out.
I went trough 2 of these amps.. Came straight from fender not working. 3rd one I got sounds amazing but the tremolo does not work. Where is your quality control fender
Have you checked the footswitch?
Hey Fender, How are liking that Cascade Fat Head Ribbon Mic?
can you jump the channels with a cable between them?
Played with custom shop guitars for the best fender tones so don't get to excited.
is this good for recording?
Fender combo amps are cool, as long as someone else is carrying them for me. I wish Fender would modernize and make small stack amp heads, and 1x12 or 2x12 extension cabs...Instead of making anchor weighted combos. The older I get, the less I am inclined to want to throw my back moving one of these amps.
Anyone know the name of the song at the start? Sounds like Ryan Adams.
Does anyone know around what volume does this amp start to break up on the vintage channel?
You're lucky I bought one of these rick, if I didn't play it myself I would've bought a deluxe thanks to you not playing chords . Hey its cool to know a few riffs, but please play chords next time and please release a '65 model for a change
What is that telecaster model called??
does this break up early? I have that problem with a 65 deluxe reverb. i actually want more headroom for live performances
Could you mic your amp and use a small PA?
Broad stroke. Sounds promising. Funny that it gets SF cosmetics.
Are these reissues really even the same amp? I am considering buying a real 67.
i keep the 65..
Hi, I have this amp. I recieved it along with a Jaguar(block inlay) for my 13th. birthday. In 1966. I wiil be 63 in a few weeks, so they are now turning 50 yrs. old. Both are in very good condition. Is there a way to tell the manufacture date of the amp? Thanks
There should be serial number stamped on the back, on the chassis. Also you can date the transformer. There are charts available on the internet that help you date fender amps.
Thanks a lot. Will do that
You just can't beat silverface amps....soon stock originals are going to start getting respect.... They sound better clean to my ears.
mine won't break up at all and it doesn't like pedals
72 Telecaster Deluxe
Does this amp stays clean when you put it loud enough to play without a PA? I'm looking for a nice clean tone at a high volume
I'd say with wanting lots of clean headroom and not needing the PA, you'd best look elsewhere. This is 35W and decided for earlier breakup. Twin Reverb is likely what you're looking for.
Probably not, test drive the Twin Reverb.
Lost me at "earlier breakup". Why all the emphasis on distortion? I need CLEANS to 11.
Can someone tell me which chords he's playing around 1:10?
Also wondering about those bits he plays in between them.
stretch90 chords are C major and A minor
What series is that black tele?!
+Micah I think it's an American Elite
japan
could you please make it with a red pilot light
Blue is so much cooler. Every amp (pretty much) has red.
Kriztov Ztovski do what i done, buy one from hotrox.co.uk for about £3 and screw it on. :))
Let's hope it will be less noisy than other 68 Custom amps...
Played one a couple weeks ago. Ch. 1 only a tiny bit of hiss at idle 1/2 volume; nothing that couldn't be fixed in a recording situation with a couple mouse clicks and certainly nothing that would impact live performance at all. Ch.2 pretty quiet.
I've never had an amp that didn't have some buzz, especially tube.
Jelton Inc.
Yes me too but the Custom series is really beyond some buzz...
Funny you say that because I have a custom 68 deluxe with hardly any hahaha I guess it really just depends on the individual amp itself. I got a good one!
Jelton Inc. You're lucky. I've been through 4 and they ALL hiss so bad it's pathetic. Even the guys at GC agreed and said they've contacted Fender about it. Theres also some issues with hiss on the 65 reissues so... WTH Fender?
68 Deluxe RI or 68 Vibrolux RI??????
+KRUSTYskates they are both equally good. i personally like the 68 deluxe reverb a lot better than the 65 deluxe reverb blackface reissue.
+bandawhat33 why the 68 over the 65? ive only ever had the chance to play the 65
KRUSTYskates because the 68 custom has more definition in the sound. Almost all strats sound the same on the 65 it has this weird tinny sound. also the 68 takes pedals and distortion better especially on that custom channel which is a bassman voiced channel. in my opinion it's the better and more consistant amp.
***** i like the hot rod deluxe better than these amps actually. so i would stick with that. it's cheaper and in my opinion sounds better. but i like the older hot rod deluxes, not the new ones called iii. or hot rod deluxe 3. I'm talking about the ones with the silver pannel.
they are basically the same amp at this point. the speakers are really the only difference which is a factor for some (some prefer the 12s some prefer the 10s/ Note: you can put 2 12s in the vibrolux which sounds killer as well) also there is 15 more watts of headroom on the Vibrolux
This demo would be a lot more helpful if the narrator didn't talk over 80% of the playing.
That's the problem most people think this is a reissue amp this is not
Exactly. It's like thinking the new Vibro Champs are reissues.
Jeez Fender, ever heard of 'letting it ring'?
Play some clean chords and let them ring man.
Stop playing cringey music-store licks.
amp demos are infuriating
Lot of money for a basic amp
Sounds nice in the vid........but "Crap" live.
low key is this video supposed to be ironic?
Demo minable
Two thumbs up and a very usable amp in all situations in my opinion.
