jako338 « Fender Cyber Twin »
Published on 10/01/01 at 15:00Purchased from Musician's Friend for $1200. I was looking for a versatile modeling type amp that didn't sound cheesy and had a lot of good vintage tones to it.
What do I like? Everything. The amp rocks - period. First off, it's got just about every Fender amp built in that you could imagine. I guess the unit actually changes it's configuration internally to emulate the amp setting you've selected. Rather than trying to do everything on a computer chip. Secondly, it's got balls. 130W running through 2 Celestions. Incredible.
There's nothing I really have found to be less than excellent.
This is a typical Fender product. Built very well and of high quality. The structure of the amp is very solid and the knobs and controls don't feel cheap like on some other amps. This is a keeper.
I really like the fact that Fender took a little different route with their version of "modeling". Their quote is "Innovate, don't emulate" and I really think they hit the mark. The Cyber Twin is not a completely digital based system like some of the competition. It actually modifies it's internal circuitry to give you the tone you need based on the amp model you've chosen. I think that's really cool.
