MGR/DAVE ARMSTRONG « Fender Cyber Twin »
Published on 07/15/04 at 15:00I PURCHED THIS AMP FROM MUSIC CORNER SALISBURY AFTER TRADING A FENDER TWIN AMP THE CHANGEOVER PRICE WAS $900. I DECIDED TO BUY THE C.T. AFTER BORROWING IT FROM THE STORE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT WAS AMAZING!
THE AMP IS EXACTLY AS FENDER DESCRIBE IT, A ZILLION DIFFERENT AMPS IN ONE. IT SOUNDS GREAT, IS USER FREINDLY, AND LINKED UP TO MY BEHRINGER MIDI CONTROLLER MAKES CARTING GEAR AND SETTING UP SIMPLE. I LOVE THE VALVE PREAMPS FOR THE BLUESY TONES AND THE SOLID STATE PREAMPS FOR THE METAL AND COUNTRY. THE AMP IS NOT DIGITAL. THE EFFECTS ARE DIGITAL (AND SUPER) AND SO IS THE WAY THE AMP CONFIGERES ITSELF. THE WAH SOUNDS ARE FABULOUS.
ONLY ONE THING IRRITATES ME SLIGHTLY! WHEN USING A CONTINUOUS CONTROLER PEDAL AS A VOLUME PEDAL ON THE SELECTED OVERDRIVE PREAMP, IT STEPS WHEN RAISING OR LOWERING THE VOLUME RATHER THAN GLIDES. I USE A VOLUME PEDAL ON THE WAY TO THE AMP OR USE THE CONTROLER ON THE AMPS VOLUME PREAMP TO OVERCOME THIS.
THE CONSTUCTION IS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM AN EXPENSIVE AMP, BULLETPROOF. THE AMP IS LIGHTWEIGHT COMPARED TO MY ALL VALVE RIGS. IT FELL OF THE TOP OF A PLATFORM AND LANDED ON A DRUM KIT (I HAVE SINCE CHANGED TO CORDLESS TRANSMITTER )I ONLY SCRATCHED THE TOLEX. (DRUMMER WAS NOT HAPPY, RIPPED FLOOR TOM HEAD)
THE CYBER TWIN HAS MADE MY LIFE AS A PERFORMER/TEACHER SO MUCH EASIER. THEY ARE STEREO 130 WATTS RMS AND LOUD. I WISH I COULD HAVE HAD ONE IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES, THEN MY BACK WOULDN'T BE SO BAD!! THE CYBER TWIN IS A LEGEND IN MY MIND. THEIR PRICE HAS DROPPED RECENTLY AND I THINK YOU CAN GET THEM FOR JUST UNDER 3 GRAND WITH A BIT OF HAGGLING. THANKS FENDER.
