Fender Vibro-King Custom 60W 3x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp Black

I've owned this amp for almost ten years. The negative is it's heavy. And it only does certain sounds well. And it's really loud. The positive is it gives you the feedback only a hand wired custom tube amp can. I like a warm, toasty clean and no other amp I've tried does it better than the vibro king. Some bassman's are just as good. This is a warm, responsive amp that highlights your playing and your attack. If you are mere mortal like me, be forewarned this amp highlights every mistake. Nothing is hidden. I never have found a distorted sound I really liked. With pedals it's pretty good, but not quite good enough. For clean and warm sound it's amazing. Additionally, the active EQ is something most guitarists are unfamiliar with. I suspect anyone who has ever had a less than favorable sound from these amps didn't understand the EQ. One last thing, the reverb is simply amazing. It's a Fender Custom Shop gem.

Of all the combo amps on the planet, even though expensive and heavy, this is the one to have. Plenty of power and the built in 3 knob reverb plus tremelo. I first bought one in 1994, never looked at another combo amp since then. Trick: Turn ALL the tone controls down, turn the volume wide open(dime it) and then use the bass tone control for pre-amp gain and mix treble and mid to taste.

This amp, tho.
