i just picked up a 1978 fender vibro champ in awesome condition. it was already modded with a 3 prong power plug and an upgraded 8" jensen speaker. so i dont even have to do any mods to it! its cleans are amazing for a small 8" speaker and when cranked the crunch is just perfect, it still has clarity in the notes but still very punchy. its pretty loud for a 6 watt amp. ill post some pics and maybe some sounds clips with my mustang when i get the chance too.

groovy - do a demo with the trem and everything.

See one, play one, as we say in Cribbage:



Mine's a '78 too, funnily enough. Have put a Weber in it and replaced the electrolytic caps, I love it to bits. Also, and weirdly, considering it's only got an 8" speaker, my baritone sounds amazing through it.

Not to de-rail too much here, but are you any good at crib? I definitely need to improve before I start back at the ice cream job.

I always score 19.






Yes, that is a shit crib joke. I'm alright, I suppose.

New thread in t'pub including a cheeky 'teach me' request.

I'm assuming this is an impossible score?

Spot on. And Zaphod, don't deny the power of crib.

Ooh,I got an amp made in 1978 today but not as cool as yours.
