Fender 1968 Custom Vibro Champ Reverb – Navy

World Vibro Champ

Wildwoodians, coming to the ring weighing in at just 26.4 pounds, we are proud to introduce the Vibro Champ of the world! This entry into Fender's '68 Custom series (which blends classic Fender tone with convenient modern features and modifications) is an absolute giant slayer of an amp! It's no secret that we love small amps around Wildwood, but this one is special. It's a stallion in the studio, it's fantastic for solo practice or band rehearsal, and it can be a secret weapon mic'd up at the gig. Let's dive a little deeper and see why this Vibro Champ is a perennial contender for the title!

The '68 Custom Vibro Champ's main appeal is that it packages classic Fender tone in a small box. The deep, warm lows, the sweet, sparkling highs, and the punchy mids are all there, and the clean sound is as luscious as you'd hope it to be. Turn the volume knob up, though, and you'll get a glorious natural overdrive that can even verge on fuzz. It's also remarkably dynamic, and you can really change the character of the overdrive (or the clean sound, for that matter!) simply by altering your attack. And, this combo has a 10" speaker, so you can really feel the full range of this tiny titan's robust frequency response.

Beyond that sweet natural tone, the '68 Custom Vibro Champ offers plenty of versatility. There's a classic expressive two-band EQ to shape the tone, a tube-based tremolo, and a digital hall reverb for added fun. Fender is renowned for their reverb and trem sounds, and this amp reminds us why, because both sound lush with a capital L!

We're proud to present the '68 Custom Vibro Champ. This five-watt beast is ready to handle whatever you throw at it, and we have no doubt it will prove itself to be a worthy companion on your musical adventures!
