Fender Twin Reverb

INTRODUCTION
Introduced in 1952 the Fender Twin Reverb is a legendary amp, renowned for producing crystal clear tones with a brightness that has become it’s signature. We tested a ’65 Reissue which was purchased around 2003.

FEATURES
The Fender Twin Reverb has 2 independent channels: Normal and Vibrato. The Normal channel has two inputs, a “bright” switch a volume control, treble, middle and bass tone controls. The Vibrato channel has the same controls as the normal channel, plus reverb, vibrato speed and intensity. Reverb is provided by a traditional spring system.

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO PLAY?
The rating is 85 watts RMS but this is a very loud amp, and most players will not push it beyond half way. Plug in a Fender Telecaster or Stratocaster and you will get a sound that has defined popular music, instantly recognisable and highly desirable. If you want versatility then it’s probably worth considering one of Fender’s more modern amplifiers.

CONCLUSION
At around £1200 this is not a cheap amplifier but if you want a real classic, there is simply no substitute.
