Ask to some guitar players you could meet . Many very good tech don't have commercial front.

Received the amp :D

I'll try to post pics. It didn't come with a vibrato foot pedal, what exactly does this do? Thanks.

Nice amp!

I believe the Vibrato foot switches can ground the vibrato signal (turn it off). Without it, the circuit is active (vibrato ON all the time). You can zero out the Intensity and Speed pots to acheive close to circuit off.

Ok, thanks. I thought the vibrato was on when I played it and was able to control it with the speed and intensity knobs. Thanks

Definitely Manella, had my now-sold-sadly Princeton Reverb serviced there as well as a VC AND A COUPLE GUITAR SETUPS. They love to work on vintage Fenders, so it'll sound great when returned.
They also won't try to sell anything you don't need.
