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 ...
