The 1979 Fender Vibro Champ with a factory-installed JBL speaker is a rare and coveted variation of the classic silverface-era amp. Known for its rich, harmonic-laden tube tone and iconic built-in vibrato, the Vibro Champ was a favorite among home players and recording artists alike. The addition of a JBL speaker—a high-end, efficient upgrade over the stock speaker—elevates this already remarkable 5-watt amp, delivering tighter bass response, sparkling highs, and increased headroom. This factory pairing is especially desirable to collectors and tone purists, as it captures a unique blend of Fender’s vintage tube warmth with JBL's clarity and precision, making it a standout piece in any amp lineup.
