Headstrong has released the first 3 Custom Shop Limited Edition Series amps: the Verbrovibe, the Royal Reverb and the Blue Lamp 112.

These amps will be produced for the rest of 2012 in very small production runs of less than 25 each on a first come first served basis.

The Verbrovibe is a reproduction of the 1963 Fender Vibroverb amp, the first Fender to feature on board reverb. At 35 watts this amp features a hand wired fiberboard, 2X10" Weber speakers, 2 channels, Reverb and bias Vary tremolo which modulates the bias from the power tubes to create the tremolo effect. It is housed in a solid pine finger jointed cabinet and covered in Brown Tolex with Wheat grill cloth.

Housed in a solid pine finger jointed cabinet and covered in Black tolex with silver cloth the amp comes in at 22 watts with 2–6V6 power tubes through an Eminence speaker.
