'64 Vibroverb Custom Amplifier
NEW

In the summer of 2001, we were approached by César Diaz, the late great guitarist and "Amp Doctor", best known for caring for the amps of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, and others. César was anxious to collaborate with his friends at Fender on a new Vibroverb amp, incorporating his favorite modifications. He provided valuable input throughout the early stages of the project before his untimely passing in April 2002.

Now the amp has come to fruition!

The '64 Vibroverb Custom is the first new amp to join our "Custom" series since the mid '90s.

It's an all-tube, completely hand-wired combo amp with solid finger-jointed Pine cabinet for thick, resonant tone and the unique, throaty sound of a single 15" speaker.

From the front, it appears to simply be a faithful reissue of the rare and collectible 1964 Blackface Fender Vibroverb amp, with two independent channels, Reverb, Vibrato, and crystal-clean tones. It is just that, but around back, a few surprise features are waiting to kick the tone into overdrive -- literally!

César's legendary Vibroverb modifications are easily accessible via the MOD and RECTIFIER switches on the rear panel. This allows the player to enjoy vintage Blackface tones perfect for many styles of music; then easily "modify" the amp for hot-rodded, cranked up "Texas Blues" tones bristling with sustain and harmonics.

Other premium features include: a new 15-inch Special Design Eminence speaker with full rich bass tone and enough top end shimmer to please any guitarist; and a pair of powerful all-new USA-made 6L6-GE Groove Tubes.

And like all the best Fender amps, the sensitivity to pick dynamics and guitar knob settings is incredible.
