Description
The 1968 Customs have become an extremely popular amp series for guitarists who love classic Fender sounds along with toneful modifications that resonate with modern 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 1968 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb improves on this classic amp by adding a hall reverb and using a larger 10 inch speaker for increased low end. These additions make this little wonder perfect for rehearsal, home recording and even small gigs. Amplifier comes with fitted cover.

Highlights
- TUBE CIRCUITRY: Simply put, there is really nothing quite like the pure, powerful sound of a Fender tube amplifier. For decades, the tonal richness and touch-sensitive dynamics of real tubes have given Fender amps a defining and unmistakable voice, as heard on most professional recordings and performances of the past 60 years, the music you have known your whole life.
- CLASSIC FENDER REVERB AND TREMOLO: This amp offers luscious digital hall reverb and rich, pulsating tube-biased tremolo effects. It’s capable of creating incredible ambient sounds ranging from subtle to stupendous with the distinctly pure tone only a Fender amp can offer.
- CELESTION SPEAKER: Celestion speakers are renowned for their distinct rock-n-roll voice. We partnered with Celestion to create a 3.2 Ohm version of the Ten Thirty speaker with great tone and increased bass response.
