The ’68 Customs have become an extremely popular amp series
for guitarists who love classic Fender sounds along with toneful
modications that resonate with today’s players.
At just 5 watts, the original Vibro Champ was famous for classic Fender
tremolo, tube sparkle and killer grind at a reasonable level. The ’68
Custom Vibro Champ Reverb improves on this classic amp by adding a
digital hall reverb and using a larger 10” speaker for increased low end.
These additions make this little wonder perfect for rehearsal, home
recording and even small gigs.
