Twin Reverb Review

The '65 Twin Reverb is an authentic reproduction of the original amp to ride the wild surf, one of the all-time "Hall Of Fame" amplifiers. Clean as you want it to be, with a fatter tone than the butcher's dog.

Purchased from: Music Major

Features: - Made in 2004
- amp is pure tube power
- 4 biggies and 6 small ones
- tube has killer reverb and vibrato
- 275w output // 10

Sound: As I said pure tube. What else can i say. Iv'e been playin for ~10 years and I haven't had an amp this good since my ~62 Fender bandmaster with the same features; the only difference is that the Twin is compacted into one unit. This amp sounds awesome with my Fender strat and my gibson lespaul. And does good with distortion from my x series hot rod. // 10

Reliability & Durability: This amp has never broken down and ive had it for 2 years and ive done some heavy gigs. I never bring a backup. This thing can blow my drummer through the roof and it even lets him take the roof with him. // 10

Impression: I play mostly punk, classic rock, metal on this amp. It doesn't show any feedback unless you give it a mic. If it were stolen id kill the guy who took it by smashing the amp over his head and use his life insurance to buy a new one. I love everything about this amp A++ for anybody. It does every style with any guitar perfect club amp. // 10

I bought my twin reverb from a local shop here in Ohio. I play everything from Classic Rock to Metal to Country, but my favorite style of playing is Blues. This amp has enough power to produce an amazing sound for someone who is just practicing at home or playing a gig. For anyone looking for the clean guitar sound, this amp is it.

This amp is shit
it has no power at all and once you turn it past 6 it makes weird ass buzzing sounds

It must be your effects or guitar.

obviously, the ones you have tried wer broken.

[RPotts]

Yep, because this is essentially the best sounding new amp. Some of the original Fender amps sound better but this is amazing, absolutely butterlike smooth, thick cleans. Full thick ODs, with a pedal or true tube overdrive if you turn it up past 8 (****ing loud) and just basically amazing.

[bluespunkmetal]

Soothing I may say.....

[Gitter_Wizard]

First thing i did was cranked it to 10, and it was soo clean. ill write a reveiw later, but its got heavenly tone.

[Tombi]

For all you amp buyers-can you tell me which is better for gigging in quality-a Marshall or a Fender?

[moup]

What would this amp sound like with a fender telecaster American or standard, a dunlop 535q wah, mxr phase 90, and an mxr blue box?

I got one for $675 new at a local shop.

[guitardude1039]

But i sold it for around $800 on eBay.. And with that profit I made, I added that to what I had, and got a VOX!!

YEP thats the one! they kick so much ass dont they?

I have had it since it came out. The best sounding amp I have ever played. The person who says it sounds bad after six should get the tubes checked. They do break. If that is not it was probably a defect because I outplayed a marshall stack on 10 and there was no buzzing sound. This amp is all you will ever need. You can play a concert with it or a small gig. Sounds great when you add pedals too. This is the best amp by far. Every great musician recorded on a twin reverb in the 60's and the reissue is just as good. The amp is reveared for its pure tone but trust me you can add a distortion pedal and it still sounds good. Great for pure rock sound.

[staatsadam]

Oh, and it was made in 2002 or 2003, I know because my dad was with me when I bought it and in 2004 he was dead

[leondb]

Anyone who says this amp sounds bad probably didn't plug his guitar into one.

I checked out Hot Licks a few days ago and tried this, the Hot Rod Deluxe, and both the 2x12 and 4x10 Hot Rod Devilles... if I can get the Twin Reverb used before the guys sells it, I will, if not, I'm getting the 2x12 HR Deville. I didn't even play either of these amps pass 2, and it was hella loud, and damn right clear!

[iheartemo69]

I own an original 70-something twin reverb and it is just amazing (besides the fact that i think it is the "crappier" model that came out after fender was bought out..).

the most amazing sounds come from it, whether clean or rigged up to my line 6 uber metal pedal. there is VERY LITTLE (if any) feedback when i'm all hooked up. i LOVE IT! as well, it withstood many gigs back in the 70s (it was my pop's).

Line 6 is alright, but they base their products on amps like this, for a reason, too.

[Twisted Magnum]

This amp sounds perfect.

BULL. where?

[lespaul#1]

Lol, by the way, someone said he picked the Marshall Bluesbreaker because this amp was dirtier than his 30 watt Bluesbreaker.
