Fender Vintage Reissue '65 Twin Reverb Guitar Amp  

Features, nice clean tone. I use a synth guitar that needed a clean plate to play with. A PA was not the answer, couldn't get that bottom end warmth sound through a PA. Clean is what I wanted and this amp is the cleanest period.

Talk about quality, dependability and remember, TONE, clean tone, melting your ears away. Plenty of head room for small too large venues.

I value this as MY solid sound that I have been searching for YEARS. Thought this was just a country guitars dream as I am more a hard rock guy. Using this with my Roland VG-88 set up just goes hand in hand. I can go from a lustrious 12 string sounding guitar to a deep Drop-D heavy metal sound that just blasts any room I have been in. I play a variety of styles and this amp delivers straight forward deep lush tones that any guitarist would appreciate. I get compliments all the time about my tone that I never got before I had this amp. If you are ANY kind of guitar player at all, you know how important CLEAN tone can be. This amp delivers!

The ONLY reason this gets a nine is the weight of this monster to lug around is painfull. Why not have some built in solid casters? This amp is still the best amp I have ever played through and I have been playing for many years. I will never go for any other amp period. Dud I mention that this amp is also VERY freakin loud? I would stand this amp up against any amp EVER built, this is the top dog.

I gave it a 10 for features.  It really doesn't have alot of features, but if you are looking at this amp, you already know that.  The most important feature is has is it's great sound.  If you are looking for a feature-packed amp, look elsewhere.  If you are looking for "That Fender sound", here 'tis.

Seems to be very well constructed.  Time will tell how tough it is.   Really can't say at this point.

I rated the value at a 7.  I feel this amp is overpriced.  Of course so is most other music equipment.

Overall I give it an 9 just because it's so darn expensive.  In the sound department it's a perfect 10.  It has the sound I've been looking for for years.  When they say "that Fender sound", this is the amp they are talking about.  I've been playing through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe for the past 5 years.  My wife had been harassing me for spending so much money on this amp from when I ordered until it came in.  I gave her a little side-by-side comparison between the Hot Rod and Twin Reverb.  There really was no comparison.  It even suprised me how much better the Twin sounded.  I had thought the Hot Rod Deluxe sounded pretty good,  but the Twin Reverb put it to shame.  My wife said "oh, I see why you bought it now."  No more harassment.  Of course i'll say the obilgatory "this amp isn't for metal" statement.  You will not get this amp to distort without a pedal.  It just keeps getting louder and louder without distorting.  It takes pedals well.  My Fulltone Plimsoul sounds excellent through it.  One thing in reading other reviews and looking at amp forums that made me think twice about this amp was that some people said it was too loud to practice with, gig with in small places, ect, even with the volume below 3.  I'm here to say that I practice with it at home between 2 and 3 and it sounds fine and is not loud at all.  At gigs, even with it mic'ed I have the volume on 3 or 4.  It's not terribly loud at that volume.  Now, anything past 6 is just scary.  I will say that.  It's a great amp, so just close your eyes and spend the money.  You won't regret it.

The essence of the amp is not really its loaded features, but it has everything I needed.  3 band EQ, Reverb, and a usable Vibrato that is more like Tremolo.  Tubes, and loud as heck.

Gave an 8 because it doesn't have an overdrive channel.  Though, not a big deal, would save room on my pedal board.  Also no built in FX, and a Bright switch that I don't think is necessary.   Also, they could have put some wheels on this thing.  It is the heaviest amp I've had to drag around.  Definitely could use some casters.

Again, this amp is not about features like a Line 6, or other amps with built in DSP fx.  The features it does have are right on the money though.  Just need to add some stomp boxes for your different sounds.

Built solid.  I do get a low crackling sound for the first minute that the tubes are warming up, but once they're revved, sounds spectacular.

You really can't put a price on great tone.  Every serious guitarist is always searching for that perfect tone.  I don't think you can ever really reach perfection, and that's one of the elements of guitar playing that makes it fun, but this is definitely a step in the right direction.  As close as you can get to the true intended sound of the electric guitar I think.

Smooth warm clean sounds at high volume.  Will showcase the true sound of any guitar, and is perfect for a clean slate platform to add pedal FX.  Use it as my main amp for all styles.  Just add an Overdrive, Wah, Chorus, Delay, Compressor, and you can pretty much play anything.

This is the Best Guitar AMP on the Planet. Super Clean....Tube Reverb.

This is the 2nd 65' Twin Reverb I have owned.

LOUD - LOUD - LOUD.....(the cops have been to my house many times...we are on a 1st name basis now)

If you have never tried the 65' Fender Twin Reverb you don't know what your missing. All Tube 85 w - 2 12" Jensen Speakers (made in Italy).. It is The Ultimate Guitar Amp.

There is nothing on this planet that can compare to the Clean Tube sounds that this amp can produce. Stage ready! Great Studio Amp / Recording amp...etc.

This amp is heavy, and may justify a gym membership to just lug it around.  The tone of my guitar going through it is worth every pound it weighs.  Any guitar through this amp just sounds better.  I use it with an American Std. Telecaster and a Gibson ES-339.  It even sounds good with a Godin ASC electric nylon-string guitar.  I do not use the bright switch, leave the tone controls at 5, and have the reverb set at 2.  I have had no need to bring the volume of the amp up past five playing in large church sanctuaries, and without being mic'd into the PA system.  It will get insanely loud, and there is no need to loose your hearing pushing this at 10.  Get a small amp if you are going to do that.

I purchased mine used, and have not had any issues with it at all.  Single-coil pickups through this amp are surprisingly quiet compared to playing through my '65 Princeton Reverb reissue.  The amp is clean with a bit of compression and very slight Fender crunch when the volume is above 3.  It is designed for a lot of clean headroom for larger venues or playing with a horn section.

You get what you pay for, and quality amps are part of the equation for good tone.  This amp will cover any musical style and allows for quite a dynamic range with just string touch.  This is my second Twin Reverb, and it is my main amp for playing in church.  I do not use effects as the tone of this amp with a good guitar is enough for me.

If you want a lot of over-drive, use pedals or another amp.  If you want to hear what your guitar has to give, and hear what the gold standard is for a electric guitar amp, this is it.  I only wish it weighed half as much as it does.
