![]() I’ve had this beast for over ten years now and it was my first fender and first decent tube amp…so fun to play around with the pull boost and i have an imprint in my head of those great little red knobs… so cool and original for me i will never part with it ( it has broken again though, but only half broken…still can use the clean channel). The “Red Knob Twin” was made until 1994 During 1994 it was slghtly modified and the knobs were changed from red to black, keeping the same Reply Earlier Twin Reverb amps were known among musicians to be best suited for loud, “clean” tones. Both clean and overdrive channels could be activated simultaneously and reverb could be turned on/off for each channel. The Twin was designed for maximum versatility for live or studio use with features like speaker jacks with selectable impedance, Low-z/XLR output, a “Power Amp Thru” feature that bypassed the preamp circuit and a buffered effects loop. It featured a dual output switch, allowing the user to select either 25 watts or 100 watts of output. I have the black knob The Twin it is the answer to all the needs of my amplification ,my amp is carpet with normal Fender metallic silver cloth ! It has channels and reverbs and in/out capabilities due to the addition of both a separate gain channel and a switchable overdrive on the clean, in 1987. If you like great price-performance, versatility, durability and don’t mind the weight or reputation, this is a great, great amp. That said, this is still a Fender, and this probably does much more than most Fenders. If you want a metal sound you should probably get a pedal for that, on most of my guitars I can not distinguish the single notes when I play a chord if I turn it up too much. ![]() Below that, you can get some great “clean-but-not-completely-clean” sounds up to hard rock. You can get all kinds of sounds from this, but I rarely turn the gain over 5. That said, it is versatile (note the ability to use both channels at the same time), and it CAN sound great, but you can also make this sound like a guitar plugged right into a pair of 10€ desktop speakers. Playing on this, if set up right, feels great, and now I don’t practice to get better, but so I can enjoy the sound of my guitar. At some point, I randomly decided to play without the effects unit, and I was shocked. I have used the amp sims on my GT100 for a while and kind of forgot about my amp. You can easily get some “Johnny Marr sounds” out of this amp. I would say: Clean channel is great, second channel is fine. If one day I am the only person alive in this world, I might be able to turn it up to 4.ģ: Clean channel is good, second channel is ok. Second channel is a bit harder to set to your desired volume. Mine are a bit stiff, but you can probably change that if you clean the potentiometers. Clean mode can be tamed if you turn the knob VERY carefully. I never needed to use 100W mode (you can switch between 25/100). Still using the original valves, no sounds when turning the knobs, no loud idle noise. It felt like hell, and when I had to carry it back drunk, it felt more like the amp was carrying me. Longest I had to carry it was around 100m, I was 17 at that time. Casters work but I don’t trust them on uneven floors. Carrying this around is possible, but it hurts not only your hands because of the strap+weight, but also your legs, because it crashes into them all the time. ![]() If you look up some info on this amp, there are some things you will read a lot. I snatched a ’94 black knob one for 350€ two years ago. ![]() Model: 8 ohm Eminence Made Fender Special Design Blue Label Speakers (For more info, check out the Jensen Replacement Speakers)Įffects: Reverb, Channel switching, Effects Loop.Impedance: 16 ohms (Two 8 ohm speakers wired in series).Tolex/Tweed: Black Tolex, Snakeskin, White Snakeskin, and Red Cobra.Rear: Fuse (4A), Effect Out, Effect In, Power Amp Thru, Loop Level Sw, Output Bias Adj, Output Balance Adj, Foot Sw, XLR Line Out, Ex Speaker Series, Ex Speaker Parallel, Impedance Sw.Front: Vol, Treb/Boost, Mid/Cut, Bass – Ch 1 In, Ch 1 In – Ch 2 In, Ch 2 In – Gain, Treb/Boost, Mid/Boost, Bass/Boost, Presense/Notch, Vol/Channel, Reverb Select Sw, Reverb – Hi-Lo Power Sw, Standby Sw, Power Sw, Pilot Lamp.
