« Classic sound and tone »

Published on 09/03/11 at 15:51
The Fender twin reverb is a classic sounding amplifier is one of the most successful amplifiers offender has ever produced. Is a classic sound with its 212 inch speakers into channels one for the reverb tremolo channel and one for the normal channel. This is 85 W amplifier in with its clean town can get very loud and punchy. It is a great low game or no gain it all amplifier that takes various effect petals and distortion or overdrive petals very well.

This amplifier is limited on its features and mobility. It has a simple selection of EQ ring of base trouble and and volume you are missing the middle and presents that you would see on a Marshall amplifier's or many other amplifiers. This is a great amplifier for dialing in a good bluesy classic rock town.

SOUNDS

The tone of this guitar is very addictive and extremely usable. When you put a distortion pedal in front of it with maybe some delays or course you can get a great bluesy rock tone. This tone sounds phenomenal when coupled with a Fender Stratocaster guitar or even a Fender telecaster guitar. I'm not a big fan on this guitar with a mahogany wood by body guitar as much as I am with an older wood or a ash wood guitar. It allows the guitar if it's a brighter or medium warmth guitar to really bring out the no separation in clarity. Much better than a mahogany wood guitar can do in my opinion or to my ears. I find it a Fender guitar sounds the best through this amplifier and should be since they voiced both instruments to each other. I pretty much use this amplifier with a overdrive pedal or eight and or a delay pedal of some sort. It has a great singing sustain and a very pure tone.

OVERALL OPINION


I highly recommend this guitar amplifier to anyone is looking for one of the best sounding cleaning up the fires with a touch or reverb that you can ever get. It has a fantastic sound and it's extremely easy to play in antlers very forgiving in my opinion. You can find these amplifiers on the used market for right around $800 and sometimes even less than that. I have seen this guitar amp in the classifieds or the used section in places for right around $600 in this market. So these get guitar amps are very easy to find and when they were originally produce they were highly saturated in the market. So they're very easy to find and you can get them at a great price even for very old ones. So if you need a good classic sounding clean amplifier that takes petals very well and have a great set tone and feel and look no further than this amplifier right here.
