    I've had this amp for about a month now. While I don't play like Mason here, My amp sounds every bit as good as the one in this video, if not better (ya gotta hear it live). Crystal clear, sparkling cleans with plenty of punch on the bottom end. This is basically just a 5 watt Princeton. Gets crazy loud too.

    Just got mine today. Amazing, amazing, amazing little home/recording amp. Beautiful chimey clean tones, beautiful tremolo. The digital reverb is also actually very nice sounding as well.
    It's volume control is very usable too. It doesn't just get to a certain point where it stops getting louder and just adds more overdrive.

    So I went through and listened to 1:33 over and over and over and I finally figured out most of it. It's such a smart chord progression. The movements are only based on 3 notes for most chords and there isn't nearly as much movement as one would think. Beautiful progression.

    Total agreement! This entire family of amps (Princeton Reverbs w/ Tremelo, Vibro-Lux Reverbs and Super Reverb) are the pinnacles of amp design at 4 power levels. No amp alive is as versatile. I want to be buried with mu Vibro-Lux, which is just the big brother of the Vibro-Champ. This amp is perfection with a Telecaster and/or any Gretsch.
    And, yes, Mason Stoops's playing is magnificent.

    I went in to GC to try out a PRS Hollowbody II. I played through one of these and left with the amp because it sounded it so good.
    Regrettably ,the reverb went wonky and defective after 2 weeks. I loved that amp. GC was great about their 45 day money back guarantee.
    Unfortunately there wasn’t anymore in stock locally. So I’m now the proud owner of an original ‘68 drip edge Vibro Champ.
    I can’t believe the reliability and how good this 55 year old amp sounds. Now I understand some of the vintage prices ,though I still think many are overvalued.I’m now seeing some of these reissues at pretty reasonable prices.

      Hi, how does the drip edge compare to the newer custom vibro reverb? I once tried a beat up 76' silver champ but it was not really loud at all. Although I could sense the vintage crunch quality, I figured the speaker was terrible. Volume wise, I could crank it and not be disturbed at all. I don't like when it's too loud, but I wish it pushed a bit more air. Thanks

    I am assured the ”new amp stiffness” will be gone when the tubes are burnt in and it will sound just as good as my SF original Vibro Champ. It is already much louder thanks to the 10” speaker.

    Are you using a pedal at the end of the video or is that just the amp cranked?

    This or Fender Blues Jr IV? For a guy who likes clean blues (John Mayer, Tom Misch), jazzy (kinda Duke Robillard, Kenny Burrell) who plays mostly at home? I think Vibro Champ wattage (5W) is a plus over the BLJR (15W), but price and speaker's size balance this fight.

      Another great option (champ clone) is the Stage Right 5W amp. It's amazing sounding at 150.00 or less. Amazon has them

      I've been having the same debate going on for about a month now. The Blues Junior has a 12" speaker, an actual spring reverb and a master volume control. But it doesn't have the glassy sparkling tone like the Champ. The Champ is also a lower 5 watts with a low input jack for quiet practice and more headroom. The Champ wins this fight, imo. I need a good clean amp for half my music, my Marshall DSL5CR can handle all the dirty stuff.

      This sounds more like a traditional Fender black face amp. The Blues jnr is nice but has its own sound which I wouldn't describe as being traditional Fender at all. At 5w the champ can also be pushed harder at lower volume and still maintains beautiful clean at lower volume. If you playing at home or recording I'd go with the champ. For loud and live playing I would go for bj.
