I have been in the market for a twin or dual professional, but a vibrosonic reverb with the JBL D130F, is on Ebay for $450, no reserve. I'm sure this amp sounds great for steel,but how about 6-string? Also, is $450 about right, price-wise?
Thanks

Great amp. Great price. IMHO, those old Vibrosonic Reverbs sound better than Twin Reverbs, whether you're running a steel or a regular guitar into it.

Buy that amp if you can Tyler. Most amp gurus would tell you it's worth that kind of money even if it needs minor repairs.

| Basically the "Twin-Reverb" with one 15" speaker. Sounds good to me! |

Turns out I found a '69 twin w/ original JBL D-120f grey frame speakers. The amp has been blackfaced and recapped recently. I have yet to hear the amp, but I'm quite excited- it sould be better for 6-string than the vibrosonic, but just as good for steel. I also got a great deal!

Yes the Vibro is still available on Ebay. At the time of writing this there is 1 day, 24 min left on the auction, which is currently at $449.99, with only one bid. Just do a search for "vibrosonic", and it'll come right up. Looks like a great amp.'

Tyler,
I had a Vibrosonic reverb amp like the one on E-Bay in the early 80's. I traded a non-master volume silver face twin reverb for it. It had I believe around 100-110 watts with a master volume. I took the stock speaker out and put a EVM 15L in it. It was a really good amp. I regret trading it, but I traded it in on my session 500. With a good JBL or EVM speaker and good tubes and biasing it will make a great steel amp. Some perfer a true solid state session 400 or 500, but there is something to be said for a good tube Fender.
