1968 was a transitional year for Fender amps, with tone that was
still pure Fender but a look that was brand new. With a silver-and-
turquoise front panel and classy aluminum "drip edge" grille cloth
trim, the Vibrolux® Reverb received a fresh new face as it remained
the ideal medium-powered two 10" combo for gigs. Small, light, and
moderately powered, it produced big tube tone, with world-class
Fender reverb and vibrato effects. For countless guitarists ever since,
the Vibrolux® Reverb has been a go-to amp for classic Fender sound.
The '68 Custom Vibrolux® Reverb Amp pays tribute to the classic
look, sound, and performance of Fender's late-'60s "silverface"
amps. In a special twist, both channels boast reverb and tremolo,
and the "custom" channel has a modified Bassman® tone stack that
gives modern players greater tonal flexibility with pedals. The amp
also features quicker overdrive onset and reduced negative feed-
back for greater touch sensitivity. The '68 Custom Vibrolux® Reverb's
two 10" Celestion® TEN 30 speakers also deliver a more distinctively
rock 'n' roll flavor.
