FENDER TWIN REVERB

Well, to be more specific, we’re talking about Twin Reverbs made between 1965 and 1967. Throughout the decades, these sought-after tone machines have turned up in the rigs of countless guitarists, including Stevie Ray Vaughan – who used a mid-’60s 85-watt blackface model during his 1985 tour of Japan – Steve Howe, Johnny Marr, Jack White and Dweezil Zappa.

The Fender Twin Reverb is considered a standard model for players seeking a clean sound, and it is especially known for the quality of its built-in spring reverb.

Of course, Fender fans will note that 1965 is the year the company was sold to CBS. Guitar-wise, the sale is still regarded as a turning point – but not in a good way. However, the sale didn’t seem to affect the company’s amps. In fact, Fender makes a 1965 Twin Reverb reissue today.
