All user reviews of 4/5 for the Fender '65 Twin Reverb

Everything has been said.

85 W lamps.
Very heavy.

2 channels: one single (gain, EQ)
The other with gain, EQ and tremolo

no master!

as usual Fender: 0 can not hear anything, not 1 and 2 it is almost too much

UTILIZATION

It's simple, it's nice

You can play on two channels at once.
(I did a concert where the sound of the bar broke. I put the song on the first channel and it worked fine.)

SOUNDS

Fender sound. Clear. High light and high volume. This is not an amp that goes into distortion.
on the other hand, high volume ... beautiful dynamic crunch to die for (arrived at 8, 9 or 10). EXCEPT that it is unmanageable bar ... I have not done a concert (unless one actually) where I played more than 2 (the amp being taken).
For recording against, you can have fun.

This wonderfully cash pedals.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 3-4 years.
I had a blues junior (not at all the same destination).
I tried the 40 W (blues-I-don't-know-what-more), the Peavy 30 watt lamps also, VOX (AC 30, AC10TV) ...
... it's all about the sound you want.
To clear the pedals and put the front is perfect.

HOWEVER!
weight (I had to buy a flightcase).
and too powerful. Even in concert, as the amp is taken, not need as much.
And bars: no need for much either.

I like it
I keep
but if it again I would take a less powerful in the same range.

The Fender Twin Reverb '65 reissue is Fender's modern take on the amp that defined a sound. For many years the Twin Reverb was THE amp to get if you wanted loud and powerful clean tones in a real deal package. The sucker was heavy and loud, but if you wanted that punchy and clear clean tone that could cut through class at a mile a note, the Twin Reverb was your amp. Through the years it has evolved a bit as time goes on, and eventually Fender decided to reissue the model that many consider the "golden" era for these amps, which was the mid sixties blackface model. This amp puts out a whopping 85 watts of clean power and features two channels. The normal channel has two inputs and has volume, treble, middle, and bass controls as well as a bright switch. The vibrato channel has the same controls, but adds on reverb, and speed and intensity controls for vibrato. It's loaded with 2 Jensen speakers and weighs in at about 65 pounds.

UTILIZATION

Getting a good sound out of this amp can be easy or difficult depending on where it is you are playing. Being that's a loud and clean 85 watts, it's not an amp I would suggest buying for the bedroom or a tiny basement/jamroom. It needs a bit of volume to get that natural tube compression happening in full force. That's really the kicker with these amps... they do require a bit of volume to sound their best. That being said, with the right volume level/room this amp is very easy to dial in. The tonestack reacts like a typical Fender... sometimes it can seem like the controls aren't doing a whole lot, but that seems to be normal for these amps. Either way, it sounds good!

SOUNDS

As far as this amp goes, it's definitely one of the premier clean amps on the market. Fender really got it right in 1965, and fortunately they managed to preserve that integrity for the most part on the original amp. I really like using this one for country or blues tones. It has a certain gutsy quality and sparkle that works well for either of those styles. It's only a clean amp... unless you are playing Shea Stadium you aren't getting this thing to even come close to true distortion, and if it's anything like the master volume silverface models... it doesn't really distort all that much anyway. That being said they do sound good with pedals in front of them, so you could put your favourite drive in front and watch the notes fly. In short, it's a great sounding clear Fender amp that accurately recreates that sparkly and jangly, yet very full bodied clean sound of the '60s and through to today. Not to mention that waterfall of clear Fender reverb that is truly the best in the business.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think the Fender '65 Twin Reverb is a pretty fantastic sounding amp. Yes, it needs to be turned up, and yes, it's not nearly as portable as some others out there. However, yes it does sound amazing. At about $1,500 new it's priced comparatively with Dr. Z and other similar amps, but you're still getting great value for money. In short, if you're looking for a high wattage and truly glorious sounding amp that covers all your needs for a loud clean tone, you cannot go wrong with a Twin Reverb!

The legend! All Tube amp indeed! Beware of models anyway. Pre CBS and period after the acquisition of Fender from CBS ... Qoiqu'il Regardless, the model Blackface reissues are excellent.
It's a combo 85watts (Twin reverb 65) into 4 Ohms, but the power is at an appointment and it easily exceeds other amplifiers of the same power. In addition, this amp is made to be played loud enough (so if you want to use it in the dining room, it is better to buy something else ...) because it is in power it will the best of himself. The four power tubes are 6L6 Groove tubes, lamps 6 12AX7 preamp of, 8 Ohms 2 HP Jensen C, both channels (normal and vibrato), Fender reverb spring, normal channel: vol. low, mid, high, vibrato channel: Vol. low, medium, treble, reverb, tremolo intensity and speed, bright switch for each channel, tube vibrato, and foot switch

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, no-brainer. No manual y'en APAS need.

SOUNDS

This amp is geared towards playing country, blues, rock, jazz. for lovers of hardcore or metal, go your way. The ideal configuration is a Telecaster or a stratovolcano, a few effects pedals (distortion, overdrive ...) and there were a package perfect for attack scenes. it also works with Gibson, you worry. In short, it's very upscale and it's better to be pro musician to make the most given the price of the machine.

OVERALL OPINION

I had a reverb Ywin (period 70) years ago. I sold it because when you do not play on stage, it is useless to have one in my opinion, unless you are a collector. In addition, to cushion the maintenance of this type of amplifier, we must make a living. Indeed, the tube amp is the biggest problem to wear if one is (obviously), but cahnger lamps is not an easy task. It must indeed they are matched pairs. In addition, the manufacturer of lamps are few and only the countries of the east and the Chinese still make. This amp needs to warm up before and been successful it must ramp up to draw the quintessence. It is fragile because the transport lamps do not like to be shaken, so a gig bag is a must. All in all a top model with all its advantages and disadvantages (the stars have some quirks!). I recommend for my part in pro musician who like clean sounds or crunches and running enough to absorb its upkeep maintenance. Other than that, with the Twin, your guitar will not need anything else (a good pair of pedals aside) to sound and to appreciate your wonderful words of play it again if I if I bought a professional musician since 1600 Euros (about), pa is within the reach of all the grants and it takes a change lamps every 5 to 10 years depending on whether we play a lot or not (a change of lamps must be done by a specialist, especially for power tubes, and we at approximately 300 to 400 Euros). So we must think about Advent to engage in the purchase ...

85W lamps, two channels (see preceding)
Two HP
Booth output
Vibrato
Reverb
No distortion.

downside: the directivity of HP (phase problem?). Maybe some see an advantage?

UTILIZATION

Settings-simple. No need to book.

SOUNDS

Amp very typical (if any that are not) clear sound crystal-clear to be impressive and dynamic. Obviously we must raise the volume to enjoy it. I use a gibson nighthawk with a preamp and V-Twin mess (mainly for distortion). For jazz is just a bit brighter compared to the sound of muffled rigor but I like that sound. For the blues, blues / rock is just awesome (clear / overdrive / distortion). For reggea / dub, casseroles hell + reverb very / too deep. For metal, not to use the V-Twin ...
For more experimental music, the definition of sound is, I think, well suited

OVERALL OPINION

I bought 6 years ago ocaz 750 euros. It took me two years to choose my amp. I arpanté pigalle and the province. I broke too late for a groovetube (no longer produced). I enjoyed the classic pevey 30 W. But I preferred the clarity of his sound ...
The click when I got a salesman told me shut the door, you must try its distortion. Pushed back ...... it's too too good.
Of course, it is heavy, too powerful for a little training but once you are 6 or 7 to hit a little is good.
For two entries, I rarely use it by connecting two guitars. That said I do not know if it's a good idea because the volume of one depends on the volume of the other. It helps out.
A again, I turn towards a less powerful and more high end Fender or Rivera (if memory serves).

The most beloved amp that Fender has ever created. This amp since its inception has been played the world over. Anyone who has ever spent any time playing the electric guitar has most likely plugged into one of these amps or has even owned one. This is one of the most classic amplifiers that this world has ever known and for so many guitar players, it has been there go to amp of choice.

SOUNDS

This amp is such a joy to play. Such a clean chimey tone that leaves such an impression on you that you crave the guitar even more. It has two channels and no one of them isn't a dirty channel. The second channel is for the vibrato or tremelo sounds. So you'll get that wavy sound from the speakers. Just listen to the some from Creadence Clearwater Revival called The Midnight Special. In the opening is basically this sound. Not sure if they used this amp...most likely they did because it is very clean and chimey.

OVERALL OPINION

This amp is a bit on the high side for combo in my opinion. At new these amps come in at around $1400. You can actually pick one up from the 60's or 70's for about half that price. If you want a new unplayed one then this is your ticket.

I would recommend this amp to an guitar player who likes collection gear or love the tone of the Fender clean amp. This is a staple in any guitar player's arsenal.
