The 1950s tweed Fender Vibrolux marks a special debut in Fender history: the built in tremolo effect, introduced with this model along with the larger Tremolux. The tweed Vibrolux 5F11 is a relatively compact combo amp with one 10" Jensen (alnico) speaker and a dual-6V6 power section (with fixed bias) putting out around 10 watts of power. The circuit is basically the same as its little brother, the 5F10 Harvard, with a tremolo feature added; on introduction in 1956 this was smallest Fender amp with built-in tremolo. Unlike the 6AT6/6AV6 (amplification factor of 70)first stage found in the Harvard , the Vibrolux uses the dual-triode 12AX7 (amplification factor 100), with the added half powering the tremolo. The rest of the circuit is virtually identical.” Harvard prices are lofty. You may substitute a 5751 (amplification factor of 70) instead of a 12AX7 in V1 if you wish and I will include a 5751 for your tube rolling pleasure.
