Fender and Third Man Hardware Present the Pano Verb Jack White

After a reverb designed with Anasounds, Jack White teamed up with Fender to design the Jack White Collection. Let’s discover the amp.

For his signature amp, the Pano Verb, Jack White was inspired by his favorite amps, the Vibroverb 1964, Vibrasonic 1960 and Vibro-King 1993. The amp’s circuit is directly inspired by that of the Vibroverb of 1964 to which Jack White had the idea of adding an adjustable Clean Boost of +26dB accessible directly on the front panel via the Drive control.

The reverb

For the reverb section of his Pano Verb, Jack White was inspired by the 1993 Vibro-King. At the time, Fender had placed a Reverb Unit in the amp, with Tone, Dwell and Mix controls. The equivalent is found on the Pano Verb, the Tone control having been replaced by a two-band EQ. The reverb is placed after the preamp unlike that of the Vibro-King which was placed before. A switch allows to switch between the Full and Split positions. In Full mode, the reverb comes out of both speakers; in Split mode, it only comes out of the 10-inch speaker.

The tremolo

The tremolo circuit of the Pano Verb Jack White is based on that of the Vibrasonic of 1961. Fender had then opted for a very musical harmonic tremolo. The version integrated into the Pano Verb is equipped with a switch to switch between Mono and Stereo. In Mono, the tremolo evolves in the same way in both speakers; in Stereo mode, a slight delay is applied to one of the speakers to create an effect of sound width and movement.
