Vintage, nasty crunch

Old ('73) Vintage Fender amp, I love the way it sounds on my Fender Statocaster ('73).

jimmarchi1

its like a slightly bassier SF champ, handy little devil to have around

joe_wright4920

best sound ever

creates a tone that i have never heard before

jimmarchi1

If I remember my Fender lore the Bronco is just a Vibro Champ rebranded to go with the ill-fated Bronco student guitar line. So its a tone you and many other people have ehard before and will hear again. the Champ in all tis varitions never goes outta style.
