I've got the same custom vibrolux reverb, it sounds ok, my favourite input is normal2. (great for blues). I don't really like the other inputs as much, do you feel the same? do you like this amp?
In response to Mr.Forehand, I've found it's impossible to get a bad basic sound out of the Custom Vibrolux Reverb, it's got a beautiful clean sound up to about 3 or 3.5 on the volume then it starts to get nicely compressed and gritty without bass notes getting flabby. Best amp I've ever owned, sounds every bit as good as old Fender amps with a little bit of playing in time.
man i have a 1975 fender strat too and it is the most ballsist sounding strat iv ever owned and play, it has a sound that makes angels cry, the only problem with cbs strats is the the iconic contour body that fender is famous for, was not used when it was bought buy the cbs factory aswell as the bridge and saddles not being stamped with the fender name they may not have the quailty of pre cbs strats but it still rocks and i wont sell my strat.
You sound great and have good taste in gear. Is the 74 strat yours and do you like it? They were considered crap at one time (3 bolt neck, etc) but are making a comeback. The early 70's like the 74 were still very good. What amp did you get in place of your Vibrolux? Do you play any Marshall or higher gain amps like Mesa? Mesa is like a souped up Fender, as I'm sure you know and has some nice cleans and mean high gain. It too uses 6L6 like fender. the new EVH does too, like Fender. No EL34s
Fender Deluxe Reverb, it's a 22 watt amp with monster tone, like a mini twin reverb. In my opinion one of the best sounding amp I've ever played or owned. You really get that in-your-face fender tone
its the new vibrolux - you are right - they sound great but there's that terrible hiss. BUT - if you make some adjustments with tubes and few modifacation they sound GREAT AND THERE'S NO HISS AT ALL.
Cool! :)

@VelhosNovos I have a Vibrolux, it breaks up at like 3 with a les paul, I'd say get a Deluxe Reverb if you want clean!

at what time do you use the hot british distortion? Do you have more videos reg. this distortion pedal? Thanks.

Your clean sound right at the beginning is sick. That must be that tc chorus pedal. I'm looking at getting one of those.

The 70's are supposed to be not really good, is that really true and what do you think of the American Vintage 70's Stratocaster?
Thanks

depends if you want single coil tones, or humbucking tones...they're completely different guitars.

Might consider the Tele. You get a little bit of both there. Amazing lead/rock tones and immensely clear clean tones :)

elinfiernoentusojos 4 years ago
the tonebone is a good pedal in high gain settings, however, i sold mine because it wasn't kipping the natural sounds of the guitar and amp.

hi,
its the new vibrolux - you are right - they sound great but there's that terrible hiss. BUT - if you make some adjustments with tubes and few modifacation they sound GREAT AND THERE'S NO HISS AT ALL.
katarzis27 5 years ago
what type of mods do you have to make...I plan on getting the vibrolux in the next short while and I would like to know
Kbtrammell89 5 years ago
its kind of hard to explain through "youtube"...
i changed some resistors, bought another reverb tank (3 springs instead of 2), and changed one of the tubes to JJ.
i advice you to buy another amp - after the mods its a GREAT amp, but if you buy a new one its better to buy one you don't have to modify.
