"Just as I remember it"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
A footswitch is included for for the second channel.I love the amp because it does not have all the extra features,this way I can mix and match effects myself.

Quality:
The amp arrived in its factory packing,which was excellent.It arrived in perfect condition.Workmanship was excellent.

Value:
A great sound and great build quality.Yes its costly.However I didn't want to try to save a few dollars and always wonder if I should have just bought the Fender.

Desirability:
Its a classic,in the 70's I used a Traynor Mark III,which I liked a lot.The Fender was the only other amp I would use.

Sound:
Clean and sharp.I use a TS-9 for drive.

Support:
Not needed it.

Overall:
I will keep this a while,my son also uses it.

"Something Old, Something New... Fender Twin Is Still In."

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Feature:
Pretty basic and simple. Normal and Vibrato Channels. Fender Reverb. Comes with footswitch to turn on/off Vibrato or Reverb.

Quality:
It weighs in at over 60 lbs. Built like a tank. Beautiful amp. Everything on this amp fits right, looks right, and operates right. Control knobs are smooth, tilt legs are nice, speakers and components are neat and properly installed. No sloppy assembly anywhere in or on this amp.

Value:
In my humble opinion... I think it is a bit pricy, but I'm not complaining.

Desirability:
No appeal other than it fits my style and taste.

Sound:
Sounds like a Twin Reverb. I used a Twin in the 60's and this model sounds as good or better. Fender says it's built to the original specifications and the components that are not original are built to the original component values. It's what I cut my teeth on when I first began playing in the 60's, so I'm probably somewhat biased. Clean is super clean. Really nice, clean, tube amp. Use a POD and Big Muff Pi and it sounds great. It's a little noisy, but once you start playing all is well. It really does a great job. I play rock and blues. Fits like a glove.

Support:
Have owned this amp about 18 months and have not had any problems. I do find it difficult to communicate with Fender online.

Overall:
For me, the Twin is the best. This is the one. Versatile, great design, quality throughout, used and abused by many a musician over the last 40 years and will probably stand the test of time as one of the all time great tube amps ever made. It's a Fender and it's a Twin Reverb.

"A fragile golden egg for the common man. "

Feature:
Wish it had overdrive -- but I love the clean tone too much. The Ibanez Tubscreamer solved that for me. Love the tube reverb and tremolo too. Also -- the tubes do get hot. I added a 7 dollar clip on fan on the back to add some air circulation in an effort to help get more life out of the tubes and prevent heat from damaging the cuircuit boards -- This thing is not point to point wiring -- something that probably would have made it a 3,000 dollar amp. I may also replace the flimsey back covers with some thicker plywood type back for added protection.

Quality:
Ok -- the downside here. It is great that I can buy the classic Fender sound for less that 1,000, but there is a price to pay. It feels a little flimsey to me. This is not an amp that will take lots of abuse in my opinion. I plan to use this at home and take it to the occasional gig. I may consider an ATA case to protect this investment.

Value:
For the money and less that 1,000 new -- this is the best amp out there for classic clean tone

Desirability:
TONE TONE TONE TONE

Sound:
While learning guitar, I played a digital Pod Pro through a PA speaker and headphones. Through that experience I really found that I preferred that classic tone of the Fender amp models. Finally, it was time to make a committment to the real thing. I tried many different amps, Marshall, Mesa, Randall, Peavey, Crate, etc. I kept going back to the Fender sound. Then -- the options on Fender -- Hot Rod Deluxe, Hot Rod Deville, Bassman, Vibrolux, Vibroverb -- and through this process I kept comming back to the ultra clean sound of the Classic Twin Reverb 65 Re-Issue. But -- only clean on the amp -- VERY CLEAN and what a clean tone it is. A guy showed me how you could put an Ibanez Tubecreamer TS808 on the front to warm it up and give it overdrive. The AMP WILL NOT OVERDRIVE! there is that much clean headroom. I was sold -- now I can go clean and go dirty with a modest OD tone I love. The Tube reverb and tremolo are incredible too. I am in the process of adding classic analog pedals for mild distortion, delay etc. Very happy with this amp.

Support:
I do not know about Fender -- have not needed yet. The guy I bought it from runs a small store and has serviced other amps. I expect to deal with him if needed.

Overall:
I am in Love and am smitten

"Perfect amp for those needing both loud + clean...I started to consider solid state amps before finding this..perish the thought"

Feature:
Very simple straightforward amp, but the features it does have are good. The reverb and vibrato are very nice. Amp also features a secondary channel with out the reverb/vibrato. I supplement the amp's sound with a few stompboxes, particularly ibanez ts-808 reissue

Quality:
Haven't had it for very long but it seems to be of relatively good quality. I bought a crash case for it as well since I'll be using this on the road a lot.

Value:
Well worth what I paid, especially since the amp solves a specific problem for me (loud clean tube amp)

Desirability:
Never met a guitarist who didn't like a Fender Twin

Sound:
I was looking for a tube amp that plays clean when loud. This amp does just that, and perfectly. The sound is very rich and "tubey". Not much else to say that hasn't already been said in other reviews, I couldn't be happier.

Ease of Use:
Pretty much fire it up and go. Adjust the standard treb/middle/bass knobs

Support:
Haven't had to deal with them, hope I won't need to.

Overall:
As of now I'm totally happy with this amp and plan on using it for a long time to come. I would buy another if I had to.
