Description
Most people have never seen a Brownface-era Vibrolux—and frankly, we at Carter Vintage have only come across two other examples in the past 12 years! The 6G11 circuit leans more toward the sound of the 6G3 Brown Deluxe than its larger 2x6L6 counterparts. Simply put, the single 12", 35-watt format is a perfect fit for this era of Vibrolux, carrying over into the Blackface non-reverb models. And as you might expect, the tremolo is fantastic as well.
Internally, the amp remains largely original, with only a replaced power cord and updated electrolytic caps. The screen grid resistors have been replaced, and the bias resistor was changed to properly set the output tube bias. Grid stopper resistors were also added to the power tubes. Otherwise, the preamp remains original, including the coveted Blue Molded Ajax coupling capacitors. Please see the circuit photos for further details.
Overall, this amp is in spectacular condition and about as close as an amplifier of this age comes to being called mint. Whether you're a collector or a player, this is an exceptional example that delivers in every respect, combining rarity, originality, and phenomenal tone into one stellar package! It also comes with the original footswitch and Victoria Luggage cover.
