A modern Blackface Vibrolux?
Who these days is building an amp that is like a BF Fender Vibrolux?
Fender's current Vibrolux "custom" is nothing like it's 60's brothern.

This builder has items in the Builders Emporium from time to time. I don't have any personal experience with them.

Vintage Sound- Rick will build you a dead spot on reproduction or you can get one of his tweaked versions. I'd go for the tweaked.


I have a Fargen Blackbird 40 combo but I think Ben is only producing heads right now. He'd probably build you something along those lines on special order.

+1. I recently got one of Rick's tweaked Vibroverbs. Incredible amp!
brownface on ch1, blackface ch2. Verb/Trem on both channels. Diaz trem bypass. Weber Cali 15". Built like a tank.

Just grabbed an Allen Encore head. Always wanted a VR, never had the opportunity. This Encore goes that way for sure. With some extra tricks that make it even more versatile. This is one great-sounding amp.
