I never played a Mesa I liked so I would have to say Vibroverb. But that's me.the vibroverb or the mesa?
Two very different amps yes...I owned both. However, the '64 Vibroverb Custom is not a reissue. Also not being made anymore for anyone "on the fence" about one. ZacariahG...the main thing I didn't like about the '63 reissue was the speakers...too flabby. At the time there wasn't a lot of replacement speakers when I bought mine (18 years ago) but now that should be no problem.Which Vibroverb - the reissue of the chocolate brown 63 (2x10 brown panel) or the reissue of a 64 Vibroverb (1x15 black panel)?
They are two very different amps....

I agree, the speakers got real farty past 1 o'clock.ZacariahG...the main thing I didn't like about the '63 reissue was the speakers...too flabby. At the time there wasn't a lot of replacement speakers when I bought mine (18 years ago) but now that should be no problem.
sweet... have any of you guys have any experience with the mesa maverick? i guess my main concern is switching from an EL84 amp with the maverick, to the vibroverb (6L6's??)
i only use the clean channel on the mesa and use pedals for my drive. i'm just wondering if the vibroverbs clean tone would be better than the maverick's for me.Well what is it that you're looking for? The Vibroverb is a great clean and can get a little gritty in a real nice way. I don't know if the Mesa has a drive channel (i assume it does) but the Vibroverb definitely does not so all your drive will have to come from pedals.
You really ought to try one out. There are probably plenty of people on here that don't think they're accurate enough and whatnot but they really do have a great tone and aren't all that expensive. I like the reverb a lot too.i only use the clean channel on the mesa and use pedals for my drive. i'm just wondering if the vibroverbs clean tone would be better than the maverick's for me.
Oh.....i have a mesa maverick 4x10.
