100 WATTS of TOOB-ALICIOUS GROOVE

Beginner or 30 year veteran this amp ROCKS! This little lady will make you sound like a PRO the minute you crank it up but...when you learn the ins and outs of this 100 WATT explosive device you better be prepared to sign some autographs. I love the switch back capabilities (25W-100w)which allow me to get TRUE sound without blowing the walls down and I can scratch glass with the clean channels on 100 watt. This amp truly gives the professional guitar player EVERYTHING they need and MORE while truly inspiring the novice to stretch their boundaries.

High Powered, Great Sound, and US Made!

Once you play a Fender 100 Watt Twin, you'll never want to go back to a smaller amp. 12 Groovetubes deliver not only house-shaking power--a joy to command--but the dual 12" Eminence speakers deliver an unbelievably pure sound. Some amps make all your guitars sound alike. Not this one, it lets your guitars? sound shine through. Strats and Telecasters twang and scream; Les Pauls sound gorgeous, rich, full, growly and not at all muddy. At higher volumes, the "Clean" channel's got plenty of bite to it. The "Gain" mode, when cranked up, feels like you're throwing thunderbolts. Going down to 25 watts with the 1/4 power switch lowers the overall volume but not the sound quality. And, while 25 watts doesn't sound like much, it?ll keep up with the drums easily. The reverb sounds like classic Sunn records; the tremolo is pure, wicked 60's. At 80 pounds, it's a hefty number to move but it comes with detachable casters. Top of the line and, maybe best of all, it?s USA made!

Fender Twin 100 watt

Sweet, sweet amp. The longer I play, the fatter it gets. After about 45 minutes, it really starts to shine. Nice, chimy clean tone and I have an unnatural love for the distortion channel. If you need over-the-top distortion, look elsewhere. If fat is where it's at for you, this is it. This amp produces more drive than vintage Fenders -- just enough, if you ask me. This is a forever amp for me. I can't see ever regretting spending the money on it. It is extremely faithful to the sound of your axe. I play an SG with Burstbucker Pros and I love this thing. Cons: I dig the sound of the tremolo but I sometimes wish the depth could be more pronounced. The reverb sounds great, but if your looking for that endless fender reverb, you might come up short on this one. I havn't totally broken this one in yet, so, these things could mature and change with time and punishment.

One of the Best Tube Amps Ever!!!

I don't even know where to begin when it comes to this amp. First of all it has incredible power, I have played one of these next to a Marshall full stack and this amp definitely has more power. Secondly the tone is godly, you can get a very pure clean sound out of it, or a nice warm blues sound, and then with a couple of adjustments have a strong overdriven rock lead sound. Personally I would recommend this amp to anyone who can afford it, it can accomodate pretty much any style of playing, it sounds great, and it has more than enough power to compete with stacks. I hope this helps someone out there.

This is a classic. The Fender Twins have been near the same for as long as i can remember, and the tone is astounding. Amazingly sparkly on the clean, nice and crunchy on the driven channel. This amp houses one of the most well-known and yet versatile sounds in the music industry, and one of these is always nice to have on hand when recording. I played an american strat through one of these for a while, and the tone was just perfectly matched to my guitar. This is plenty loud enough for any size gig; the band will never drown you out running through this guy. If you like anything from country to pop to classic rock, this amp is the one for you.

You can stop Looking

I have played through just about everything and nothing beats the tone of a twin. The Bell like tonal characteristics of full tone when playing clean. I am currently Selling my Marshall TSL 100 Watt combo because the tone is not there. This amp has a decent over drive as well. I have learned when playing in clubs, nothing beats an open back two 12, except for a super or Pro Reverb, but thats another story. I have played for 40 years and this is a Great amp. Made in USA, Tube tone, 100 watts.

GREAT TONE! Killllllller amp

I have the 90's model twin and you can either use 25w or the full 100w. I use it at the 25w and crank it to really push the fender grove tubes (x4). The clean channels are crystal clear and with a little gain they sound great! Drive channel is great, you can lay back on the gain to get that really blues-like tone, or crank it for harder rock. Not a good metal-head amp though, trust me, I've been in a few metal bands. Full array of ins and outs including effects loop, ext. speaker jack, pre-amp and power amp, also has 2 inputs, etc... The amp itself weighs in at 77 lbs, but if you're a weaker person you can use its casters! Let me tell you guys this amp is LOUD! Im actually planning on buying a 212 extension cab just to keep up with the power it has! GREAT AMP!

THE BEST THERE IS...PERIOD!!

THIS AMP IS ALL ANYONE NEEDS FOR GUITAR PURPOSES. It has the power, the tone, the crisp, the crunch, ,lows that will shake your pants and highs that will render you speechless. In my opinion and throughout my 18 year career in music and with my experience in using many, many other amplifiers, this is the best one of them all. I have played through Mesa Boogies, Soldanos, other fenders, marshalls, Vox, Crates, Musicman,kustom, peavey and many more and there is no amp better built nor with a better sound. I see the comments on the lack of the metal sound..,plug in your favorite pedal and see for yourself. AWSOME is the only word for this amplifier.

Awesome Twin

This amp reminds me of my first '66 Bandmaster. You can use the 1/4 power switch and get to the sweet spot without ear bleeds! It's got the usual Fender crisp clean notes when you want it or dial it to the Marshall tone. One plus thing is that it's a lot lighter and compact than my full stack Marshall. It's just perfect for most club venues. Also does it's job to drive the 1060A/B Marshall cabs for outdoor venues. In quiet settings, you can hear some 60Hz hum from the twin; unlike my Marshall which was quiet with a single coil or humbucker coil pickup.

Time tested

I bought this amp on sale because from my past I knew that it has all the options. Like buying a beatles album before you heard the songs,,it just works. Fender has the best tone in amps period. As a straight-alone, it controls and if you need more power, either power amp it or sound PA it. Either way, you have the tone and power to to deal with what ever you want. I run a strat-deluxe, strat-12 string, les paul standard/studio and a sheriden 2 thrue it. I may use pedels but the amp speaks for itself,,,tone, power and all the options. I would reccommend it for your "final statement"
