1967 Fender Vibro Champ~Amp guitar amplifier
Fender's Vibro Champ~Amp guitar amplifier debuted in 1964 as an update to its student level Champ amplifier in production since 1948. The added tremolo effect, which Fender called Vibrato, offered a little extra motion to an otherwise simple amplifier. Guitarists embraced the model for its great electric guitar tone, gain per level of volume, portability, and its affordable price point. The black faceplate era lasted from 1964 until the introduction of the drip edge/black line cosmetic in 1968. Check out this 1969 Fender Vibro Champ with drip edge cosmetic.
