Vibroverb
« on: August 04, 2016, 05:57:19 am »
I know this is another AB763 amp but dang they are cool!  This is one I just finished up for a new builder that got in a little over his head.  It's all straightened up now and sounding awesome.

I had a real brown V-Verb 20 35 years ago that I eventually sold to Mr. Pitman (Groove Tubes)


I actually did not like the amp that much as an amp, but that could have been because I prefer 12" speakers and this one had 10" JBLs so it was not only a bit tinnier than I like, but cleaner-tinnier. It was also quite heavy with those speakers.


I have no doubt at all I would find a way (or 5 ways) to like the amp a lot more today.

Yes, the owner is a Stevie Ray Vaughn fanatic so this amp fits him perfect.

Is that an original Vibroverb or a reissue?

Not sure as the owner brought me the cab and chassis with plates, I did the rest.
