Fender Twin Questions

[aaronl]

Hello all,

I was looking at some Twins mostly the '65 Reissue.
As you can probably tell if you have read many of my posts I don't know exactly what I want yet.

I was wondering with the '65 Reissue twins can you pull two of the tubes out to get less power?

Thanks!!

Re: Fender Twin Questions

yes you can pull 2 tubes out of a Twin

yes it is less power but you will not notice the change in volume you think you will...I battle with my Twin all the time...Twins are simply loud ass amps, and if you are looking for crunch a Twin should be the LAST amp on your list...

Truer words cannot be spoken about twins.

Re: Fender Twin Questions

that is my main problem right now.
i have been re-evaluating things and realized that the reason i wanted to play guitar mostly was because of SRV....

so i am looking at twins, vibrolux, super reverbs, deluxe reverbs etc

Yep, although if it's a master volume Twin, changing that to a post-PI master will probably help out some, as will changing the PI to an ax7. DNK if that will really get you into SRV territory, but it will get you closer with less volume.

Re: Fender Twin Questions

Fender has a new Vibroverb Custom that has similar mods done to it the same way Cesar Diaz modded SRV's Amps. It might be a better way to go. The Twin is very clean and very loud. That being said you can get a good SRV sound with the right pedals. A TS9 will be essential. The Super Reverb would be another good choice.

Twins are very, very loud and clean amps. Heavy too! I would not own one again myself. Just to loud and to hard to control. Get a smaller amp like a Deluxe Reverb or Vibrolux Reverb. Lew
