1979 Fender Vibro Champ Restoration Part Two : New Speaker and Studio Trickery

This Vibro Champ's old speaker was pretty much dead, so it gets a new WGS G8C and I show how to make it sound BIG.

I have this same amp and it sounds great with a Jensen P8R I have installed.

Good to hear a mic up representative of the amp in a room. Sounds lovely, mate.

Just cranked it right up in my home shop at 10pm to help out my neighbors, nostalgic of the times I used to test amps at night before I moved to the new shop.

Very cool and great info. Thx boss.

I just bought an old VC myself. ‘77, I think. Plugged it in for 2 minutes and the vibrato quit working. 🤷‍♂️

Man... So tasty sounds... Is it good at bedroom volume?

[@PsionicAudio]

Depends on the noise level in your bedroom. But I'm only an amp tech, so... (Seriously, yes, a Champ is pretty much ideal for home practice - great Fender cleans at about the same volume as a good acoustic guitar).

I've never particularly liked the Vibrochamp tremolo; would have liked to see it being tweaked to sound a little better....

Just not at all a fan of blackface or silverface champs. I sold my '66 and don't miss it one bit.
