Description

This 1957 Vibrolux delivers classic tweed tone to match its charming aged tweed look. The vintage luggage tape on the bottom and corners somehow only adds to the vibe—it just fits. The 5F11 circuit offers a nice midway point in gain—less aggressive than a Tweed Deluxe—along with a surprisingly good tremolo. Something not often considered is how close this circuit is to the 6G2 Brown Princeton - almost identical in terms of circuit and format.

The power cord and electrolytic caps have been replaced, and two coupling capacitors in the tremolo circuit were swapped to restore functionality. Otherwise, the preamp circuit remains completely original. The output transformer has been replaced with a vintage-spec Lenco, built with paper bobbins like the original Triads, and it does an excellent job of preserving the amp’s authentic tweed character.

It also comes with the original wooden footswitch!
