collapse expand iconDescription

The Fender '65 Twin Reverb amp is an all-tube guitar amplifier that faithfully recreates the sound of the original 1965 version. This legendary amp that delivers 85W of power through two 12" Jensen speakers. Its two-channel preamp uses four 12AX7 tubes to produce sparkling cleans and satisfying overdrive. The '65 Twin Reverb also includes tube-driven spring reverb and tremolo effects for vintage ambiance and pulse. Handcrafted in Corona, California, this amp is built to traditional standards with high-quality components for reliable performance.

85W of Legendary Tone

With four 6L6 tubes in its power amp, the '65 Twin Reverb puts out 85W of volume that remains crystal clear even when cranked. Its two channels provide a range of tones from pristine cleans to smooth overdrive. The Normal channel offers bright, balanced tone for single coils while the Vibrato channel has a warmer voicing suited for humbuckers.

12" Jensen Speakers for Dynamic Sound

The '65 Twin Reverb is equipped with two 12" Jensen C12K speakers that provide tight, punchy bass, shimmering highs and a wide soundstage. These high-quality speakers are built to handle the amp's power and pair perfectly with its all-tube design.

Vintage Effects and Styling

To complete the vintage vibe, the '65 Twin Reverb includes analog spring reverb and tremolo effects. Its reverb produces bubbly, splashy ambiance while the tremolo effect creates a rhythmic pulse. The amp also features blackface cosmetics, a silver grille cloth and tilt-back legs for an authentic retro look.

Road-Ready and Handcrafted in the USA

Despite its vintage-inspired design, the '65 Twin Reverb is built to meet the demands of today's players. It's handcrafted in Corona, California, using high-quality components selected for their durability and tone. The amp's solid pine cabinet and durable construction make it suitable for recording studios, rehearsal spaces and live shows.

One of the best amps I've ever played!

I love this amp! I've played a Fender Strat, Ibanez Iceman, Fender Jaguar, Gibson SG, and a telecaster through it. All with amazing tone and clarity. This amp sings/sceams/moans/groans like no other. It can go from crisp high cleans with just a dash of reverb, to incredible distortion. This Amp has the best reverb I've ever heard, and the clearest clean channel. The vibrato is so smooth, and crisp. Do NOT miss out on this amp!

This amp is still my favorite. Guitar center still my least

We all know this amp is good already, if you have the money you should buy it. If you don't you should save or trade up. Don't do it here there. They pay so little when trading in gear that their employees may even suggest going somewhere else. That really happened. Also they want top dollar on all used gear. Try pricing any used item against the online gear exchange site. Oh they got your back with the price match guarantee. Been there. Not a reliable option. They will sqeeze you coming and going and not honor their commitments after the fact so just do yourself a favor a leave. So yeah you should get one if you can and you'll have an easier time achieving your goal somewhere else. Good news is this amp is a tank. They're still around from 65 so have no fear buying used to help you get this a little sooner. The amp weighs like a tank too. The single handle on top will lead you to believe that's the best way to carry it. Don't. Not unless you want back problems and one arm longer than the other. Instead try bear hugging it, or cradle it by opposite corners if you cant get your t-rex arms around it. It will actually feel lighter. I like that Fender reissued this classic but, like the original they should've put handles on the sides. Remember to always lift at the knees and shop somewhere else!

    This was a purchase I only plan to do once. I do NOT regret this buy on. single. bit. Yeah, it's heavy. Ummmm....TUBE AMP. These guys are HEAVY. But, the tone......Amp modeling and plug-ins can get close. But, dude....Ain't nothing like the real thing. If sound was a visual...consider butter, melting off the side of a hot biscuit....Yeah.

  • BEST AMP EVER!

    So what.. if it's heavy, use a dolly. So what.. if it can be so LOUD it can make your ears bleed, It works great at 1 1/2 volume and your guitar volume turned down.. I am on my second amp. the first I loved, later in life I sold it.. regretted it, later I bought something smaller that I had hoped would give me that TWIN REVERB sound, in a lighter package at lower volumes.. Many amps later.. and none were inexpensive.. I never could get that "punch in the chest" sound of that twin.. so …. I bought another. turned the volume down and am happy I did. Save yourself a lot of money and get this amp in the first round of guitar gear..

  • I would buy this product again

    I am using this in my home studio among with the UA Ox Box and it's incredible. It's very loud so really suggest using an attenuator of some sort.

    Is it good for bass

    Is it good for bass

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    Simple answer: No. It's has an open back and 12" Jensen speakers and not capable of low frequencies. If you turn up the bass, there's a good chance of speaker damage.

    I was looking at the brea store in california, considering buying the  fender 65 twin reverb 85 wt.  re-issue . When scrolling down there is a cheaper price option for an "open box" on the same amp .  would that be considered the floor model? Or a returned item?  Is that being offered at the same Brea branch? If buying a new one, would that come packaged in a box?

    This one is in mint condition. It could be either a floor model or a returned unit. It would need to be shipped to Brea. A new one would come in a box.
