Fender 3968 Custom Vibrolux Reverb 68 Custom Vibrolux Reverb Owner s Manual - Page 8

ENGLISH 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-andturquoise 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 feedback 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.
