I've now had a chance to play my Strat through the new Vibroverb. She's quiet and sounds warm with clarity wrapped in lush Fender reverb. Totally blackface :). I'm unable to crank her up yet but can't wait to hear her opened up. Here's a couple of pics of the finished product.

Build cost (that's the parts cost plus BG's cab) totalled $2535.00. It's by far the most expensive amp I've ever built. I already had the casters so didn't count them LOL! I didn't scrimp on valves using TAD stuff mostly. Actually, I didn't scrimp on anything really but did use a slightly microphonic long plate 12AT7 for the PI (it sounds great and mild microphony doesn't much matter in that position).

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Well she's pretty much identical to the real thing! I think I'd better blur out the Fender badge if I advertise it at some point later.
I hope it sounds like the real thing too...
