Feeler: 70's Silverface Fender Vibrochamp...

I'm thinking of selling/trading my SF VibroChamp. Not totally sure I'm gonna, but figured I'd see if I get any bites. I figure being as I haven't used it more than 5 times in the past 5 months, if could trade it for something more useful to me I would.

As far as I can tell electronically its stock (cept for what appears to be new filter cap), but it does have a non-original cab. Its got a newish cab built to accommodate the 10" weber speaker in it (I'll check the model at some point and post what it is, I think its a 10F150 but I'm not 100%). It was like that when I bought it, so I don't have the original cab.
Overall its in good shape. The cab looks practically new, probably cause it is pretty new. haha. The Chassis and Faceplate show signs of they're age, but nothing bad. A couple dings in the face plate, and some dirtiness (which could be cleaned off if you so choose. I just haven't felt a need to remove the knobs simply to clean it). No scratches or anything on the actual lettering on the faceplate or anything like that though.
Its definitely a bad ass sounding amp. Cranked its beautiful, I used it for recording mostly, and it worked perfectly for that. Great at getting a huge cranked amp sound, without killing the dog.
The trem sounds insanely amazing too. Its a bias trem circuit. Which IMO is one of the best sounding tremolo designs. Second only to the "Harmonic Vibrato" Trem in the brown fenders. And for anyone that doesn't know, the SF Vibrochamps are one of the few SF amps to have no Circuit changes when they switched away from the Blackface cosmetics. So electronically its the same as a BF vibrochamp, just way cheaper.


As far as how much I'd want for it, I dunno. I really don't even know how to determine what a non-stock SF Vibrochamp is worth.
As for trades, I'm most interested in guitars and amps. The right pedals might be kool though.
As far as Guitars: Tele, LP Jr's/Specials/Standards/Customs (a DC special faded would be kool), Sg, 335 (Epi's Obviously, Sheratons, Dots {not studios}, Riviera's, maybe a Casino) , Jazzmaster, Jag, Mustang.
As far as amps, offer anything tube really. I'd be interested in other small fenders. Heads or Cabs of Various sorts. I'm not really into modeling amps of any sort, but if ya got something kool feel free to offer it.

Everyone should own a Champ.

Best all-tube practice amp ever. Not my opinion, but truth.

Bump.

Tempting, but I'm trying to save my money for something else. Still though ...
