A Near Mint 1965 Six-Watt Wonder.

1965 Fender Vibro Champ (Black Face).

A near mint 1965 "black-face" black tolex "Vibro-Champ" weighing just 18 lbs. This wonderful little amp will give you that perfect mid-sixties "clean" tone that everyone wants… It boasts 5 watts and has one Oxford 8EVXK 581, 3.2 ohm eight-inch speaker. Tubes: 1 x 5Y3GT;  1 x 6V6GT; 2 x 12AX7. Black Tolex body, with black face control panel and silver sparkle Grill cloth. Serial number "A 04716" stamped onto chassis. The cabinet measures 14 H x 17 W x 7 1/2 D inches. A near mint example - a true time capsule.

"By fall of 1964 the Champ was totally revamped (model AA764), gaining separate bass and treble controls and a front mounted black face control panel. The tubes were unchanged, and the layout of this version would become a standard, being left alone until 1982 and selling by the thousands. A souped-up version, the Vibro Champ (also model AA764) was added as well, featuring built-in tremolo with separate controls for the speed and intensity. An extra 12AX7 was added to the circuitry for the tremolo. The Champ would follow the rest of the amp line in changing to the silver face panel "blue" grille cloth and aluminium trim by 1968, losing the trim by 1970 and adding a new tail-less logo in the mid-seventies. In 1982 the Champ and Vibro Champ were again outfitted with black face control panels, albeit with different style of silk-screened lettering. These were the last of the, by this time, 6-watt wonders."
