I have an amp that I would like to identify. It has Fender-Vibrolux on the nameplate on the front of the amp. The thing I don't understand is that the controls are on the top of the amp. The case is covered with a dark brown vinyl and has matching brown grill cloth. The grill cloth looks like regular fender material with brown threads running through it. I have had the amp since the mid-70's and it was used when I got it. It has been in a closet for the last 30 years. The serial number is F-00473 and the number on the speaker is P10R C5888 6. It appears to be the original Jensen speaker. Any idea about why this amp is different from what other Vibrolux amps.

I thought brown Vibrolux's were all 1x12.. the 1x10 would be the tweed guy.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

This style of amp is known as "tweed". The speaker indicates a manufacture date of 1958. The tweed amps look different from other amps simply because they are older.
