VINTAGE FENDER VIBRO CHAMP ~ HUGE TONE : KILLER FUZZ TONES AT 5 WATTS!

Hey Hey!
This video was taken from an Instagram live!
I made a small rig using the mid 60s Vibro Champ and a reverb head unit!
I ran it through the pedalboard I built and last weeks video
This video is a great example of how our use the Blues power to get my sound out of anything
Dig in.
Thanks for all the continued support!
Peace!

I just want to let you know that I’ve watched this video everyday for probably the past three weeks on my lunch break and inspired me to buy a 66’ Vibro champ last week. Your tone and playing have inspired me and opened my eyes to what 5 Watts in the right hands can do. One of the best Hendrix/SRV players I’ve seen on KZbin. They would be proud.

[@theriffwniksevigny5473]

Man. I can say thank you. But. We all have to bow to the masters. But....any inspiration taken from one of these videos is something im grateful. Its a blessing. Thank you!

Leo Fender was genius. Kept same circuit just different power sections and speakers.

[@joshmcsaucy]

That amp sounds great and I gotta say, you’re playing keeps getting better and better. Keep that shit up!

[@isaacjohnson.]

wow that sounds insane! That was spectacular! Love the playing too Nik.

[@bluesrockngearwjoeyg8853]

Great vid Nik. Can’t go wrong with those tones!!!

[@wilfmemmott9543]

Hearing you on that vibe, makes me so hyped to be on Rick's list for this batch. Rock on dude

[@lilsirp8892]

I love when you post new videos just in time for lunch💕

[@thedonrizzguitar]

Great playing brotha 🔥 I’m in the market for a small combo amp, and this video is exactly what l needed to see 🙏🏼

[@RobertLandrum13]

Great Stuff dude. Would love a video I those fast runs you sprinkle in throughout. The ones that generally start with the Chuck Berry riff. Keep up the great work dude. I'm loving the pickups also. Incredible stuff.

[@bengalvin9932]

AWESOME TONES!!!!!

[@craiger2399]

I have a 1974/75 Silverface Champ. I add tremolo and reverb with pedals. Sounds absolutely amazing. There's a Jensen P8R in mine, and strangely, fully dimed it is clean. No distortion.

[@mojoblues9725]

Great tones man !! I have the same amp for my main one in home or for small venues its perfect little amp with big sound !!

[@DreCarvalho]

Wow, huge sound!

[@dtotheatothevtothee]

Killer demo!

[@johnanderson27]

Oh and great playing too 😉

[@sirbaronvoncount4147]

I have a Marshall jvm1 combo. It’s one whole watt and I crank the clean (plexi) channel and it’s heaven. The natural overdrive is awesome and 8 inch speakers can really sound great. I plug into a 12 inch speaker now and then but honestly I like the sound of an amp ready to blow up

[@thierryput9906]

Great sound 🤟🎸

Hey Nik, I love my 60's Supro vibro- verb!! Have to use my tube screamer to get it to break up..

Awesome tone I’ve owned so many amps and always come back to Blackface fenders champs princetons deluxe bassmans and super reverbs

[@toneswithtommyrobbie450]

Your playing gives me goosebumps bro

[@theriffwniksevigny5473]

Thanks you my friend!

[@twirlyboggs]

Yeah my buddy had one and I plugged in my custom 22 and I dined everything on the amp except for the speed knob I kept that slow and everybody in the room thought it sounded like Hendrix. Of course we were playing purple Haze foxy lady and manic depression and of course it goes without saying that I'll say it anyways I'm not even close to the songwriting ability nor the playing ability of Hendrix. But this amp sounded so alive!!!

[@Nicko30able]

That sounds huge....

[@Pierrestrata]

Nice :)

[@gregglick4864]

My God Nick that sound amazingly good!! I'm considering a small fender tube amp like a Blues jr or something like this, how much are you asking for this, just curious. probably outta my reach just have to know tho. Thanks Nick

[@craiger2399]

Were you talking about Philip Sayce playing at the Baked Potato on the 31st? I managed to get a ticket, and I'm really happy to get to see him live for the first time.

[@theriffwniksevigny5473]

See ya there!

[@fredericperonnet415]

I am looking for a small amp to play at home without hurting my neighbors ears. I love the sound of your amp ! I wont go vintage because i haven t got the knowledge that you have. How about a 64 Princeton reverb that fender reissue? But each time they demo it, it is with a telecaster… Thanks for your answer and thoughts...

[@gregglick4864]

Btw would you be up for giving a Hendrix lesson series, just curious. Love to learn his version of Like Rolling Stone ect

Hi Nik, Just curious what speaker is in the Champ? Whatever it is it sounds great.

[@user-jz8fv8du8p]

Nik youre amazing!, WHAT AMP IS THIS? OR if too pricey is there an equivalents I can buy ?

[@marcospastor]

[@deanmead7135]

I just ran across this video today and it has now made it into my top three videos!! Your sound is super sick!! What Vibro pedal are you using? Or is it just coming from the Amp?

[@theriffwniksevigny5473]

The amp!

[@deanmead7135]

@@theriffwniksevigny5473 it is fantastic!! Thanks for the reply

[@epiphonevermelha]

Oh man...oh man...

[@jasonkirkham550]

Also, is blues power a pedal ?

[@thatconfoundedbridge]

What are you kicking on at 2:34? A fuzz of some kind but what specifically? Love how it interacts with your amp's natural drive

[@theriffwniksevigny5473]

An octavia of some sort. Not sure which one i was using. Helps when the amp is only 5w haha

[@user-jz8fv8du8p]

Can I get the same tone from a cheaper fender amp?

[@FlyingTune]

I'm curious to know...if you are using a reverb unit between your pedals and your amp, your fuzz and boost basically boost your reverb unit, not the amp. The reverb unit has "volume" and "gain" knobs??? thx for your time

[@theriffwniksevigny5473]

In the video, and in pics, its a fender reverb unit from 1965 There is also a slap echo going on and off

[@FlyingTune]

@@theriffwniksevigny5473 Yeah saw that, but my comment was more about how the reverb unit react with the amp. For exemple, let say no pedal, just the unit and the amp. Is the output of the reverb unit push the amp?

[@thomdushane]

Great, now I have to go listen to "Machine Gun" again for like the billionth time.

[@mccauley6027]

I found a vintage 66 vibrochamp and the volume is super low compared to like a tweed champ even when I crank it to 10. Is that by design or could something be wrong?

[@jerryyeaaah15]

its gonna be real quiet compare to a tweed champ i think its just the added tonestack thats sucking the volume 😂my SF champ is really quiet compare to my 59 champ as well

[@jasonkirkham550]

What size is the speaker ?

[@SkaylanGMS]

10

[@vincentleeapresto9184]

is that the 5w amp in front of you.. im not sure its a 5w. may be higher

[@theriffwniksevigny5473]

5w vibro champ

What speaker and fuzz?

Original speaker Mjm fuzz

[@livelypelts3325]

It must be the new version if the Vibro Champ with the Celestion speaker then. I’m new to your channel. Just sounded like a lot of bass and a full sound. I’m about to mod a 1978 VC. Just looking for speaker and amp advise. Thanks

@@theriffwniksevigny5473 they came with an 8” in 1965 so it must have been modded. What type/ model speaker? I like your sound and I grew up playing Hendrix and Cream.

That is the most rediculous tone I have ever heard out of a 5 watt amp ever. Granted your throwing pedals at it but thats pretty killer house jamming volume. To be honest that quite nasty.
