This 1978 Fender Vibro Champ is a legendary, low-wattage vintage tube combo amplifier highly prized for studio recording and small venues, and rich tube saturation at manageable volumes. Produced during Fender’s CBS "Silverface" era, this amp is famous for its simple layout, point-to-point handwired construction, and an incredibly lush, tube-driven tremolo circuit.

Condition is very good showing user wear and as seen the faceplate is tarnished but still in great shape

*Bonus: Also included at no extra charge will be a Mint-In-The-Box JHS V3 Reverb Pedal so you will have Vibrato and Reverb just like a same-era Princeton Reverb!
