Description

The Vibro-Champ is an all-time classic small-format amplifier, useful in practically any setting. While this one shows moderate wear, including some scrapes on the faceplate, that often just means it’s been well-loved—and for good reason. This amp is no exception, offering particularly great tone at a fraction of what the Blackface models typically command.

Internally, the preamp electrolytic caps have been replaced, but everything else remains original. The stock can filter cap is still present and functional, though it would be wise to replace it if you plan on gigging or using the amp heavily. The speaker has been swapped for a Warehouse G8C, which many players consider a tonal upgrade over the original. Overall, it’s a fantastic-sounding amp with tons of character throughout!

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
