Tone worth the $$$? - Vintage Fender Vibrolux Reverb [no talking] 

So what do you think? Tone worth the cash of a vintage amp like this? 1965 Fender Vibrolux Reverb Restoration series located here: ru-vid.com/group/PLxuLEzgnah7imXdpcMQgEz0hgGs3hYxf4

It crazy that Fender does not re-issue these amps. Bloody gorgeous tone. It’s the only amp you will ever need if you can find one. The people who own one won’t sell.

tone-seekers understand. a great amp is inspiring.

So much better than a Deluxe.

That amp is ALIVE. That's the tone we all dream of.

Outstanding! THIS is the Fender tone we dream about. And killer playing - airy and not over done.

Even just the first few notes......resounding Yes!

Great sounding amp and playing as well. I rarely see these amps out in the wild but I did Poison Ivy of the Cramps playing one in 1980 at the Whisky A Go Go and it was amazing. She of course blew it out with a Vox Fuzz pedal and it was glorious. All guitars sounded great, but the Tele had that special ring to it

Vibrolux is my fave amp ever. Years ago, I knew a guy that had a '73 all stock...sounded amazing. He offered to trade me for my Mesa MKIV combo. I agreed. He brought the amp over to my house. I tried it out and loved it. He then told me he wasn't trading because he didn't know it could "sound like that".

EXCELLENT tones!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!

Exact demo I was looking for. Thanks.

Enjoyed your playing as well as the sound. 👏👏👏👏👏

This sounds amazing!!!

This thing sounds amazing. Totally worth it.

It's worth every cent to have an amp that sounds that great. Of course it takes a good player to know how to get it to sound too.

Beautiful!

These are amazing amps, I had a friend who had one, with the vibrato he got this amazing Hendrix tone.

It undeniably sounds great -- especially with that Tele.

Yes, these are fabulous amps! And that Jazzmaster sounds and looks really good! In fact, ALL those guitars do!

Great review, beautiful tone. I'm planning on getting a tone pack for this amp on my Kemper.

Only half way through and I have to have 1. How'd I miss that . No pedals ! Wonderful video and thank you. Great playing too !

Love mine, same year. Impossible to get a bad sound from it!

Sounds excellent! Definitely worth it 😃

Totally worth it, this amp sounds great. Killer playing on the first Jazzmaster clip man. Damn!

Sounds great!!! 👍🏻

Legendary tone and tasteful playing- love it!

Best demo of this amp

Excellent demo of an amazing amp. Best amp ever played through was the piggyback version 64/65

I have a 66 Vibrolux reverb with Jensen C10Ns great amp. I also had a single 12 inch baffle for it. My buddy reconed an old Jensen with the proper impedance too. Its like a big deluxe. Both speaker combos are great too. Also having the right tubes really matter!

love how it cleans up and is touch sensitive

it's great! rock-on! sounds like a recto i got for 700 bucks. they sound great and are not just "metal" amps.

Best Fender amp ever made. Almost Impossible to find these days

Ok , I’ve made up my mind.. after my Silver Jubilee and Vox AC30 my final amp to my collection will be a Vibrolux! I need one of these! Thank you!

Incredible......

😎👌💪👏🇺🇸🥳💰🤙🐣🔥💪⛄🎶👏👏👏👏👏🤓🦫👌👌👌👌 Nice guitar collection.....

You played about four notes and immediately I was like, "yes, worth it." Sounds fantastic. Excellent job, enjoy!!

Certainly sounds worth it to me. And I'll bet the end result is even more rewarding because of all the time & work it took to get there. The joy of playing a great amp & the pride of knowing you restored it. Also, is that a picture frame amp stand? I like it lol

It sounds sick! A humble opinion from a fellow guitarist who has been playing and recording for over 25 years.

Sounds marvelous! Completely worth it. I recently bought a reissue (one with the cream knobs) and am considering the Moyer mods to quiet it down and deepen the reverb.

That's some good tone bro

I have a 1965. It is the best sounding clean amp I have ever experienced. That's why i bought it!. The reverb is three dimensional. Yours is great!

LOVELY LOVELY… but I waited the whole video for vibrato! Guess we need another video just showcasing that feature please.

Yes, worth it. I have a 1965 Pro Reverb, basically, the same amp with 2x12 speakers. I restored it too, after some ham-fisted hackery from the 1980's. Luckily, no holes drilled.

That thinline tele sounded F$^$n incredible

Wow

No modern amp sounds like an old Fender, mostly because no two old Fenders sound the same. But there is some consistency in character and your amp sounds fantastic. Was it worth it? You weren't getting those tones any other way, so of course it was.

Got a 67 the real deal!

I’ll be buried with my ‘66 Vibrolux.

The reverb alone is worth the restore.

Thank you! Great playing and tone👍 I have also 1965 Vibrolux Reverb. It is AWESOME 💯! What speakers your amp have?

Beautiful! Some of the best tones I’ve ever heard from a Fender. Mind telling us what pickups are in that Tele? Sounds so sweet and nasty!

That Amp with the Bridge Pickup of your ES345 sounds absolutely stunning. Whats the pickup? A 57 classic or a custombucker? Thx :)

I was quite disappointed when Fender tele 1 clip ended. That was a good tone.

Thank you for not playing a Strat and playing blue licks… fenders are capable of so much more than that!

Beautiful mate . Worth the money ? Yeah I think so. There’s just something special. I’ve been wanting an amp like this for a while . Something like an early 70s pro reverb . Hard to find in uk and very expensive. Greetings from Scotland

Sounds really good! If you had to compare this guitar to a Gretsch, which one would be?

Man, my 65 doesn't sound nearly as good. Are you playing the tele in open D? Great work.

Any pedals in the chain? Thanks!

That’s straight in no pedals? Was the diff between this and twin reverb? Looks like there are 2 twelves in there

Killer amp, killer guitars, really good playing but can you tell me more about the tele?

Sure b3ats the H3ll out of a modelling amp.

No Stratocaster... Really?

Is tone worth chasing, yes. Is an amp with that tone worth current prices? That’s the questionable part. I have a 1966 Princeton Amp with that glorious tone, but I got the amp for free in the late 90s when people were practically giving away vintage tube amps because they didn’t deem their tone that valuable; *the very same amps* that people are now demanding big dollars for… so are those amps worth next to nothing or worth big $$$? As far as I’m concerned people who saw a chance to make money from buying and flipping amps after the 90s destroyed any real conception of what “value” is. In the 90s I would have thought nothing of letting my Princeton go because I could walk into my local stores at any time and pick up something to replace it (there were constantly things like Bassman heads for sale for $350). Nowadays I would NEVER let that Princeton go, because I know I would not be able to afford a replacement at todays prices.

no strat

Your luck is sky high and then some. You have played possibly the only amp in the universe whose actual tone could be heard over reverb. O.W. your video would be among another wasted 10K videos.

He is not telling us he has a pedal in there. So this is fake. but the vibrolux is a good sounding amp.
