Fender Custom Vibrolux Reverb Mods - Black Panel Creme Knob

Restore the glory of your Black Panel Custom Vibrolux Reverb. One of Fender's most classic circuits, the Creme-knob Custom version is a shadow of the original — until the Fromel Supreme kit changes every crucial component in the signal path and brings it back to life.

The mods remove the buzz and hiss these amps are notorious for and restore the shimmering clean headroom of the original design. The weak reverb becomes fuller with longer, lusher decay; the tremolo gains a warm pulse with presence and no harshness. Cranked, the tube saturation is unbelievably articulate and warm; at club volume, the cleans are dynamic and crisp.

Which option should I order?

• Supreme — the full transformation: every crucial signal-path component plus audio-grade caps throughout. Start here.
• Recap — filter & cathode cap refresh to keep a tired amp running clean and quiet.
• Have us install — send us your amp and we'll do the whole job (parts + labor).

Most players with basic soldering skills can finish the mods in a couple of hours using our detailed instructions.
