Your new ‘64 Vibroverb™ Custom amplifier is a modern
interpretation of a Fender
®
legend. With this amp,
guitarists can enjoy the original Blackface™ Fender
tones heard on countless Country, Jazz and Rock
recordings. Then, with the flip of a couple of switches,
“modify” the amp to create cranked-up tones bristling
with sustain and harmonics. These Vibroverb
modifications were perfected by César Diaz, world
famous “Amp Doctor,” who worked closely with Fender
during the inception of this new model. Original 1964
Vibroverbs are hard–to–find collectables, and are
particularly prized by players who enjoy the “Texas
Blues” style. Your brand new Vibroverb will allow you to
put a fresh spin on a classic theme.

/Groove Tubes™ GT-6L6 GE
The output tubes in your new Vibroverb
amplifier are performance matched
and labeled as a color-coded pair. When
replacing these tubes, we recommend selecting
new tubes that have the same red, white or blue
color labels as the originals. Otherwise, tube
bias may need adjustment.
