TUBE REPLACEMENT  
TROUBLESHOOTER’S CHECKLIST  
If the amp is set up but does not  
function, check the following items:  
Tube life varies depending upon  
playing style and application with  
power tubes having a much shorter  
life than pre-amp tubes which can last  
for years. For continued optimum  
performance from your amplifier, the  
tubes should ONLY be replaced with the same type  
tubes as specified on the tube location label inside  
the cabinet.  
• Is the amp power cord properly  
plugged into an electrical outlet?  
• Is there power to the outlet?  
• Is the fuse blown?  
• Is the speaker(s) properly connected to the  
amplifier?  
• Is the amp on standby?  
• Are the amplifier VOLUME, TREBLE, MID and  
BASS controls above 0?  
• Is the instrument volume control turned up?  
• Is the instrument plugged into the amplifier?  
A simple way to check if the tubes are worn is to  
replace the set in your amp with your spare set. (You  
do carry spare tubes and fuses, don't you?)  
When changing the tubes, ALWAYS unplug the  
amplifier and remember THE TUBES ARE HOT!  
Either wait for the tubes to cool or use an insulated  
oven mitt to remove them from your amplifier.  
(Eliminate any effects pedals and try another  
guitar cord.)  
Check under all tube covers to see if the tube  
filaments are glowing.  
• First, replace the OUTPUT tubes in the amplifier  
and listen.  
If, after checking all of the above, your amplifier is not  
performing correctly, consult your nearest authorized  
Fender service center.  
• Next, re-insert the original output tubes. Replace  
the PRE-AMP tubes and listen.  
• Finally, try replacing both the OUTPUT and PRE-  
AMP tubes and listen.  
COVERING CARE  
If there is a marked improvement in the tone of your  
amp at any point in this procedure, leave the new  
tubes in your amp and purchase another spare set.  
Your Vibro-King is covered in genuine  
Tolex for long life and lasting good  
looks. To clean the Tolex covering,  
use a sponge and a light soapy water  
solution. Avoid spilling liquids on the  
operating surfaces, grill, volume and  
tone controls, switches and speakers. ALWAYS  
unplug your amplifier before cleaning or approaching  
it with fluids.  
Your Vibro-King's tube compliment consists of:  
Two 5881 Tubes (part #099-5090-000),  
Five 12AX7A Tubes (part #099-5091-000),  
One Special Design 6V6 Tube (part #099-5093-000).
