Really what I should’ve called this is a complete blathering on how great this little Vibro Champ Reverb is. So, Taking a few minutes to show the sound differences between the Vibro Champ, the super Tampax two, and the Princeton Reissue.
Call three are great amps, but the Vibro is a really really great amp

Thanks for posting. This is the comparison I was hoping to find. The Vibro Champ is calling me. I have been interested in some of the speaker changes shown in other vids for this amp which make big changes.

Would love it if someone started offering a hand wiring service for the vibro champ. I'd probably have mine done. The problem though is that they'd have to figure out how to retain the digital reverb chip in the circuit which probably would be a complex mod and/or drive the cost way up. I suppose they could eliminate the reverb function altogether, but I think that would be a deal breaker for me...the excellent sounding reverb is one of the reasons to get one of these reissue fender amps.

@@windsweptguitars I actually offered my amp up for the guy to figure out the design as long as a) I got the mod for nothing or b) he was able to restore the amp if he couldn't figure out the mod. As expected, he declined. If it came down to it, I might not have actually sent it to him, but it never got to a decision point.

I actually prefer the sound of the new reissue vibro champs then the originals. Originals can sound a bit tiny. Maybe that’s why people swap out speakers in the old ones. New one has 10 inch and reverb and sounds bigger with more bass.

yeah when reviewers talk about 10-20 watt tube amps like there just right as rain for home use its ridiculous.I mean you could use em at home of course if you wanted, but you're not gonna get natural break up at friendly levels.I have 1/5 watt and a 7/15 watt amp and cranking them is out of the question.

At 799 made in Mexico. That would be 1200 plus if made in America. Great bedroom amp and for small gigs or larger gig miced up , but had they had been made in USA nobody would buy a 5 watt amp for that price surely ? . However beautiful it sounds. You’d rather save the extra money and go for a fender 15 or 20 watt more versatility. Anyways nice hear your amps 👍🏼
