Open Box Fender '68 Custom Vibrolux Reverb Guitar Combo Amplifier Level 1

I now play.at Breakfast Lunch. After dinner but quieter

Its a fender... ...but this one comes with a channel that will take pedels...so now its a do everything amp

This amp has tone. Wide-ranging tone. Now, while I have mostly been a hard-rock musician, I'm not a shredder. If speed metal and its descendants are your thing, this is probably not the amp for you. If you believe a little distortion goes a long way (after all, we practiced to actually play music on a guitar, not to rev a jet engine) and music sounds great with clarity and articulation mixed in --- then this very well may be the amp for you. My experience: It sounds fantastic with Teles and Les Pauls. Very nice sustain. And it sounds beautiful with my Gretsch. I have owned 5 Fender tube amps over some decades, and this is my favorite. (I am also quite partial to my Blues Jr. and my Deluxe Reverb.). I love this amp, and play it every day. It's gorgeous, lush but also very powerful. It sounds wonderful playing almost all genres of rock and blues, and lovely for jazz. The clear channel provides a foundation upon which you can build most anything. The Bassman channel starts with a little more grit; again, you can build a lot from there. It sounds great at low volume. And, yes, turned up it is very loud. When you drive it you also get its own distortion. Doesn't require a bunch of pedals to sound great, the only one I use frequently is a little delay. What more can you ask of an amp but that when you drive hot, it screams and when you want it to shimmer, it shimmers. I joke that this is the one I want to be buried with. I actually want to be buried with Sophia Loren.

I've played the Fender 68 Vibrolux custom for only about 3 hours now. And, generally I'm pleased so far. It seems to do everything I want it to do; 2 channels, reverb, vibrato, fairly loud and powerful for 35 watts. So far it's very quiet, no unwanted noise . I was a little concerned about headroom, but it stays very clean up to higher volumes . I tried it with a clean boost pedal also; resulted in plenty of clean headroom. I know some have doubts about modern Fender build & sound quality compared to their earlier amps .. I do. But, so far I'm fairly happy with it.. I does the ' fender thing' . How it would sound next to a '65 blackface, I don't know ? But; it's doing what I want it to do , and I guess that makes it worth it. Just hope I get long term service & reliability. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if you are looking for this type of amp.

This amp is great, I previously used a Blues Junior and this amp is in a different stratosphere in terms of quality and build specs. If you are on the fence over which Fender amp to buy make sure you try this one before making your decision. I love my Blues Junior for what it does, but I would recommend spending the extra money over a Blues Junior or Blues Deluxe to get a real amp such as this (along with the Deluxe Reverb or Twin). I thought the Blues Junior had a great clean sound until I played this amp. This amp is a perfect mix between the Deluxe and Twin and is only 10 lbs heavier than my Blue Junior. It provides superb "Fender Cleans" and takes pedal well. A good transparent OD makes this amp inspirational. One last note, it sounds great out of the box.... I havent felt the need to change speakers or tubes like I did with my Blues Junior. I have had it to 6 (momentarily) it is still stayed mostly clean. Big low end, sparkling Fender cleans, great reverb, Love it and have found what I have been looking for. Buy this if you want a perfectly clean canvas and like Fender cleans. Dont buy if you want an amp with distortion. Lovely Fender product.

I bought this as some others without playing one first , but no stranger to Fender tube amps. I've had a few and still have one other. still have two other solid state Fender amps. Love this one, the more I play it the sweeter it becomes! Speakers have opened up and broken in. I have changed out the original tubes, in the power section as well as the preamp tubes. It loves Sylvania 6l6gc STR 387 tubes as well as RCA Blackplate. power tubes, best are the Sylvanias. In the preamp side I've rolled several, stopping with smooth plate Telefunkens from the 60's. the sound of this amp is just 150% top flight sweet ! Everybody that likes the Fender tube amp line should own one of these 68 Custom Vibrolux Reverb! And for such a well built product as this the price point is right On! Ya'll keep on rocking!
