'57 Twin-Amp

The ’57 Twin amplifier—one of the most collectible amps of all time—is the latest member of our acclaimed Custom Series family. Its harmonically rich clean tones are great for vintage rock, blues and country; crank it up for fat, sophisticated distortion.

This all-tube combo amp has hand-wired circuitry; we’ve even reproduced the 1955-57 edition “low powered” 5E8A circuit, which puts 40 watts into a pair of 12” alnico-magnet speakers. Power comes from a pair of GT6L6 output tubes and Fender’s rarely seen mid-’50s dual rectifier arrangement (using 5U4 rectifier tubes). With this design, power amp compression or “sag” is more subtle than in many Fender tweed designs. The Twin’s preamp contains four high-gain 12AX7 tubes, three of which may be substituted with 12AY7s for the original ’50s low-gain sound. An internal bias pot allows easy substitution of various 6L6 types. Control panel details include normal and bright volumes, four inputs (two normal; two bright), treble, bass and presence knobs.

The ’57 Twin’s finger-joined solid pine cabinet resonates with a warm, woody tone. The amp is covered in genuine lacquered tweed fronted with vintage brown/gold grille cloth. Leather strap handle on top and fitted cover included.


'64 Vibroverb Custom

Late, great guitarist and “Amp Doctor” César  Diaz—best known for caring for the amps of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Keith Richards, Bob Dylan and others—approached Fender in summer 2001, eager to collaborate on a Vibroverb amp that included some of his favorite modifications. He provided valuable input throughout the project’s early stages before his untimely passing in April 2002.

The result—our ’64 Vibroverb Custom—is a hand-wired all-tube combo amp. Its solid finger-jointed pine cabinet provides thick, resonant tone perfect for the unique, throaty sound of a single 15” speaker. From the front, it appears to simply be a faithful reissue of the rare and collectible 1964 Blackface™ Fender Vibroverb amp, but a few surprise features can be found on the back that’ll kick the tone into overdrive!

Diaz’s legendary Vibroverb modifications are on the rear panel—the mod and rectifier switches allow players to enjoy vintage Blackface tones and hot-rodded, cranked-up Texas blues tones bristling with sustain and harmonics. Other premium features include a 15” Special Design Eminence speaker with full, rich bass tone and top-end shimmer, and two powerful 6L6 Groove Tubes.


Vibro-king 212B Enclosure

Fender’s Vibro-King 212B speaker enclosure gives you 140 watts (at 4 ohms) through a powerful pair of 12” Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. The closed-back cabinet is built with sturdy birch plywood, with a black textured vinyl
covering.

Vibro-king Custom

The venerable Vibro-King amp has appeared on countless stages worldwide! This all-tube, completely hand-wired combo amp with birch ply cabinet is covered in black with the appealing “1964 Transitional” Blackface™/White knob look. We’ve added a pair of powerful 6L6 Groove Tubes for rich, full tone. The 60-watt Vibro-King Custom has unparalleled sensitivity to pick dynamics and guitar knob settings, and its crystal-clean tones, sparkling reverb and commanding overdriven tones are downright inspiring.

Other premium features include: ’63 Fender Reverb® with dwell, mix and tone controls; three 10” Jensen P10R speakers with alnico magnets; 6V6 reverb driver tube; five 12AX7 preamp tubes; heavy-duty textured black vinyl covering with silver grille cloth and nickel hardware; FX loop; and a two-button FAT boost/vibrato footswitch.
