The venerable Vibro-King amp has appeared on countless stages worldwide! This all-tube, completely hand-wired combo amp with birch ply cabinet is covered in black with the appealing 1964 Transitional Blackface/White knob look. Weve added a pair of powerful 6L6 Groove Tubes for rich, full tone. The 60-watt Vibro-King Custom has unparalleled sensitivity to pick dynamics and guitar knob settings, and its crystal-clean tones, sparkling reverb and commanding overdriven tones are downright inspiring.

Other premium features include: 63 Fender Reverb with dwell, mix and tone controls; three 10 Jensen P10R speakers with alnico magnets; 6V6 reverb driver tube; five 12AX7 preamp tubes; heavy-duty textured black vinyl covering with silver grille cloth and nickel hardware; FX loop; and a two-button FAT boost/vibrato footswitch.

This 3x10 hand-wired amp responds to picking dynamics and gets the crunch sound that sounds great. It has 3 speakers instead of 4 because the transformer is so big there is no room for a 4th speaker. Would like a LED footswitch for Vibrato, FAT, and Reverb. Have to order an amp cover separately. As much as this amp costs you might invest in a transit case. The reverb sound is superior to all other amps with Dwell, Mix and Tone controls. The tube-driven vibrato has enough settings so that you will be likely to use it more often than you would think. I recommend getting the 2x12 extension cabinet but again you have to order a cabinet cover seprately. This is a luxury amp and not a workhorse amp. Not many get to play thru this amp because of the obscene cost. This is a bucket list amp or a desert island amp (assuming you had electricity). Like Ferris Bueller (talking about Ferrari's) says, "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." PS. It weighs 72 pounds and the weight is not evenly distributed, it is very top heavy on one side. So it is very difficult to lug around. The cost and the weight make it an amp you will keep and home and not likely take out to sweaty beer-drinking bars. You will have a heart attack if you see some drunk put his dripping beer glass on top of your $5,000.00 amp. The amp sounds great but you ain't gonna be playing it at Bob's Country Bunker with the chicken wire on the stage. Maybe you can think of a venue that would be worthy of this amp, Carnegie Hall? Question: How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Answer: Practice, practice, practice!

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
