Fender’s Vaporizer amp evokes the 1950s-’60s age of the Space Race, when
the atom-age world became enthralled with spaceight and spacecraft. When
the wild ights of fancy it launched permeated culture everywhere from lm
and television to cars, guitars, appliances and more—everything was bright,
colorful and ashy. Garage bands blasted o with guitar music, and legions
of musicians who couldn’t swing pro gear bashed away on department-store
guitars and amps.
The Vaporizer amp blasts you like a ray gun back to that exciting era.
Aordable and out of this world, it would’ve been right at home aboard a
Mercury capsule and down in the backyard fallout shelter. It would’ve been
stumbled on decades later in some pawnshop corner by an unconventional
guitarist with an ear for the distinctive and an eye for the stylish. It’s the
Fender Vaporizer. Stand back…

red jewel light)
