I have owned (and still own) a pretty large handful of amps, tube, solid state and digital.
But my 1990 Fender ‘63-reissue Vibroverb is the most special, due to its “perfect for my needs” specs…
I bought it NOS/new-in-the-box in 1992, and it’s been a part of my rig ever since.
It sounds equally good for guitar (single coils, P-90’s and humbuckers alike) and harp/harmonica, which is not the case for every kind of amp.
It’s 35 or 40 watts (depending on who you ask) and a 2x10 speaker array. I replaced the stockOxfart, erm…Oxford-style reproduction speakers with a couple of basic Eminences when the originals finally blew after 9 years of heavy use and light abuse.
It has one of the coolest Vibrato/Tremolo/Whatever circuits in the history of Vibrato/Tremolo/Whatever circuit and real spring reverb. It’s plenty loud (but sounds good at lower volume settings), it takes pedal well and it just looks dang cool …
As you can tell, I kinda baby my equipment and have kept it in really good shape…although you can see (in picture #2 above), that I branded this one with my armadillo brand in case it wandered off from the herd.
