Is the Vibroverb in the 6L6 Fender family?

Why did Fender stop making Vibroverbs after 1965?

Since Fender did not continue the Vibroverb after the CBS takeover in 1965, most likely because players didn’t desire 1×15″ amps at that time, there are only a few blackface Vibroverb amps out there. Given the hype and popularity, these few Vibroverbs are extremly valuable and collectable.
