Your “new” ‘63 VIBROVERB amplifier is living proof of the

quality and longevity of Fender amplifier designs.

Fender first introduced the VIBROVERB in the early part of

1963. Unlike many of the other Fender amplifiers that

were produced for years, this version of the VIBROVERB

had a production life of less than 4 months. It is estimated

that fewer than 600 VIBROVERB units were ever produced.

This limited production is one of the reasons this amplifier

has become highly sought after by vintage amp collectors.

The VIBROVERB was the first Fender production model to

have both reverb and vibrato as built-in “effects”.

The original VIBROVERB shows Fender in a transitional

period with amplifiers changing from tweed covering to

brown “Tolex” and eventually to black “Tolex.” In the sum-

mer and fall of 1963, Fender changed the speaker configu-

ration of the VIBROVERB to a 15 inch speaker and the

brown “Tolex” covering changed to black. The single 15

inch model is also fairly rare, but the 2-10 version is leg-

endary.

Fender’s ‘63 VIBROVERB re-issue amplifier is based on the

original cosmetics, sound and circuit. Every effort was

made to be true to the original.

Several changes have been made for safety and reliability

reasons. A printed circuit board is used rather that the

phenolic “parts panel” of the sixties. A 3-prong line cord is

required for safety reasons. Minor modifications to the cir-

cuit took place since certain parts are no longer available,

but every effort was made to keep the original circuit values

and sound the same. We resisted the temptation to

“improve” the amp with features found on later models like

master volume, effects loop or channel switching. In order

to improve reliability, a solid state rectifier was used rather

than a 5AR4 tube. Since the ‘63 VIBROVERB uses a solid

state rectifier, there is one less tube and tube socket than an

original VIBROVERB. All internal circuit voltage values

have been precisely matched to the new solid state rectifier

to insure exact sonic reproduction and no alterations to the

“vintage” sound. On the original model, the Reverb /

Vibrato Footswitch connected to the unit via 2 RCA style

jacks; this has been changed to a more reliable 1/4” jack.

The reverb pan cables now connect more securely to the

chassis also.

The VIBROVERB is unique in Fender amplifier history by the

implementation of its tone circuit. The VIBROVERB was the

first and ONLY Fender amplifier to use this type of tone cir-

cuit. The treble control is “tapped,” meaning it responds

more like an active tone control allowing boost AND cut of

high frequencies. Conventional Fender tone circuits pro-

vide a small amount of tone shaping even in the “0” posi-

tion, but if the VIBROVERB Treble Control is set to about

“5”, the response is flat.

The speakers used in the ‘63 VIBROVERB are reproductions

of the original speakers made by the Oxford Speaker

Company. When Fender started work on this project,

Fender contacted Oxford who still had much of the original

tooling and documentation of this 10 inch speaker from the

early sixties.

The power and output transformers used in the ‘63

VIBROVERB are built to the original specifications, which

are still in the R&D engineering files at Fender’s office. The

same “direct-coupled” oscillator circuit is used for generat-

ing the vibrato. The reverb sound from the VIBROVERB is

“warmer” than later Fender amps due to the unique reverb

send and recovery circuit.

The cosmetics of the ‘63 VIBROVERB incorporate the brown

“Tolex” and “Ecru” grill cloth used in 1963. We have re-

tooled the “flat” Fender logo and have added the original

tilt-back legs found on so many Fender amps through the

sixties and seventies.

It is suggested that you read this manual thoroughly to

understand all the features and functions of your new

amplifier. The purchase of a Fender amplifier will provide

years of musical enjoyment and the ‘63 VIBROVERB helps

keep the Fender legend going strong.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR SHOCK

HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE AMPLIFIER TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE!
