Fender vs. Fender vs. Fender

[SirJackdeFuzz II]

I have a 72 Silverface Quad and there is NOTHING ice picky about it.
If I wanted to I guess I could dial it in that way but I have always had a dark heavy tone.
The Twin will do what everything you ask and you can push it until ears bleed. Plus the reverb is legendary....so.

W O W . . . now that is good news !

The master volume on Silverface Twins is pretty ineffective so you'll be getting a big, heavy, SUPER CLEAN amp that you won't be able to turn up loud enough to get any natural overdrive from.

Hand wired is a plus for sure. One reason those old Fenders are still alive and kickin' butt and literally lasting a lifetime.

If that's what you're after get the Twin.

That way you'll save money because won't need a gym membership to work out. :laughing:

Twins are the ultimate clean Fender. Great amps if clean is what you're after.

I;d love a Twin if I was up to carrying it. I am looking at the Tone Masters, though..a Twin at 36 lbs. I don't think I'd take on a silverface Twin at this point, even though it sounds amazing. I'd find myself not moving it from the spot in my house.

I have a Blackstar Artist 30 like Waddy Wachtel uses. 80 pounds. Terrific sounding amp that has never left my music room for just that reason.

The Twin for the win. Easily repaired and modded, good basic clean tone, very reliable. Virtually every part of those amps can be found aftermarket. The MV is easily removed and even the UL models can be made to sound very good. That cannot be said for the other options.

Twin with a MT-2 in front pushing an additional 4x12 closed cab with Texas Heat/Swamp Thangs in an x pattern...

Mmmmm, a 36.2kg combo can become a bit of a hassle

Yes, it's heavy like an AC30 or Twin Reverb amp. Does sound very, very good though.

Everybody knee jerk craps on MV Fenders. Doyle Bramhall II does ok with one.

Who?

Just some dude that was Clapton’s second guitarist for years, and played with Tedeschi Trucks, Sheryl Crow, Roger Waters, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and was buddies with SRV and Jimmie Vaughan when he was a kid.
