PRESS RELEASE

Cesar Diaz and Fender Collaborate to Create the '64 Vibroverb Custom (Click for a close-up) Rear View (Click for a close-up) January 21, 2003 In the summer of 2001, Fender was approached by Cesar Diaz, the late great guitarist and "Amp Doctor", best known for caring for the amps of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, and others. Cesar was anxious to collaborate with his friends at Fender on a new Vibroverb amp, incorporating his favorite modifications. He provided valuable input throughout the early stages of the project before his untimely passing in April 2002. Now almost a year later, the amp has come to fruition! The '64 Vibroverb Custom is the first new amp to join Fender's "Custom" series since the mid '90's. It's an all-tube, completely hand-wired combo amp with solid finger-jointed Pine cabinet. From the front, it appears to simply be a faithful reissue of the rare and collectible 1964 Blackface Fender Vibroverb amp, with two independent channels, Reverb, Vibrato, and crystal-clean tones. It is just that, but around back, a few surprise features are waiting to kick the tone into overdrive--literally! And like all the best Fender amps, the sensitivity to pick dynamics and guitar knob settings is incredible. Advertisement Cesar's legendary Vibroverb modifications are easily accessible via the MOD and RECTIFIER switches on the rear panel. This allows the player to enjoy vintage Blackface tones perfect for many styles of music; then easily "modify" the amp for hot-rodded, cranked up "Texas Blues" tones bristling with sustain and harmonics. 50 Watts (@ 8 Ohms) Four 12 AX7A Pre-amp Tubes Two 12 AT7 Tubes One 5AR4 Rectifier Two GT-6L6 GE Groove Tubes (Made in the USA) Two-button Reverb/Vibrato footswitch and cover included 52 lbs. 20" H x 25.125" W x 10.5" D US Suggested Retail $2999.99 For more information, visit their web site at www.fender.com.
