Feature:
Basic no frills amp...Reverb and Tremolo... that is it. But, you cannot find better quality. If you get the effects pedals you want you are set... I have no complaints about features... It is exactly what I want for the type of music I play (classic rock and R&B)

Quality:
This amp has been around for 40+ years for good reason... Clean sounding, easy to use and quality throughout.

Value:
Yes, I bought it used for 650. Almost new condition. However, I would pay a lot more. It is an amp I have always wanted. I finally found it for a price I cound not resist.

Desirability:
Well, for those in the Know it has a lot of sex appeal. This amp has been used by many of the "Top" groups in music history. You could blindly pick the famous recordings of rock, R&B etc. and it would be highly likely that a Fender Twin is on one of the tracks.

Sound:
This is the cleanest sounding amp around. I've been playing for over 25 years...used Vox, Marshall, Peavey, Custom and Traynor. IMHO, Fender has got it right with the Twin Reverb. Nothing has a cleaner sound.

Ease of Use:
I does not get easier.

Support:
Have no reason to doubt that support would be any thing less. Fender seems to be first class in all ways...

Overall:
No replacing it... This is all the amp I will ever need. Only possile add ons would be effects pedals. If It ever broke down or was ripped off, I would mope around until I had saved enough to get another one. If you are a Marshall, Peavey or other amp fan, give the Twin a try... you will be a believer. You have great amps but the Twin is WAY UP THERE on the BEST list.

Feature:
This is a very straightforward amp! No EQ, no modeling just a solid, basic amplifier that produces a sound quality that is second to none!!! The tremelo/vibrato effect evokes that 60's feel however the reverb does not pass muster. Personally, I often use a Boss digital delay in place of the reverb.

Quality:
Overall quality of construction, be it "fit and finish" of general operation of the unit itself is top quality. I absolutely love this amp!!!!

Value:
I price compared numerous brands of amplifiers before settling on the Twin Reverb. I made the right decision.

Desirability:
It compliments the other equipment and accessories that I use when performing.

Sound:
If you're looking for a combo amp that produces the "cleanest of clean" tone - this is the amp for you! I've owned Marshall stacks, Ampeg, Peavey and other Fender amplifiers (Dual Showman, Bandmaster) and this one just can't be beat for overall sound quality and simplicity of operation and ease of handling.

Ease of Use:
I'm not into heavy metal but if I were this amp can be overdriven to achieve a "heavy" sound. For rock and country it emits a sharp, responsive sound quality that I prefer.

Support:
Fender is a world class organization. Customer Service/Product support folks are always there to assist the consumer!

Overall:
I will not replace this amplifier. I may add an extension speaker cabinet but it won't be replaced!!! This is pure GOLD!!!

Feature:
a very simple amp but for what it is the features for it are still great. two independent channels with two inputs a piece. very nice as one is louder than the other and this amp is pretty loud so it is nice for trying to quiet it a bit. footswitch for the tremolo and reverb which is nice, tilt back legs also a very nice feature. 4 6l6 tubes, 3 12ax7's and 3 12 at7's. replace the 12ax7 stocks with sovteks, you'll love it!

Quality:
when bought used the footswith was on the fritz and the reverb tank has a connection issue that makes it not function. do not drop this amp, the reverb tank connections are very fragile on the inside and can easily snap. i would strongly suggest an ata case as it is tube and not everyone understands the care that these amps need to be treated with.

Value:
for $700 i couldn't go wrong. i also looked at the super twin and the twin custom but the clean on this is perfect for me

Sound:
Very nice sound on it. beautiful clean. much better suited for effects than a roland jazz chorus (both are known for amazing clean tones). open back so it's not too bassy which is nice. with the bright switch on it's a tad too trebly and pierces through most everything else that is going on. vibrato is pretty good, not exactly the definition for vibrato, more like tremolo. the real tone on it opens up around 2.5 on the volume and from there it's amazing

Ease of Use:
no setting is too unusable like most modern amps. with the bass on 10 there is still enough definition to understand that it's a guitar, the bright switches can be tempting but don't use em really. no distortion or onboard effects (wouldn't want em there anyways) so you have to bring your own pedals but it sounds great straight too.

Support:
local store is fixing issues for me, part of a benefits plan. amazing store.

Feature:
Not many features, but Vibro is nice

Quality:
Mines been used a lot and doesn't show it at all. No problems.

Value:
You can find louder for less money, but you won't find this sound and power for less money

Sound:
Clean, clean sound. Play as loud as you want without distorting. If you use an overdrive, you may find that you have to crank up the drive more than with other amps.

Overall:
If you're looking for something that is very clean at high volume, this is definitely it. With an Amer strat, it gives a cool clean tone; with a 335 its very jazzy. Add a good overdrive and you get more punch, but it doesn't distort much.

Feature:
Well...I do wish it had a line out or pre-out. But if it did it would not be much of a re-issue of the 50's model. The reverb is classic. Trem is solid and consistant.

Quality:
What all other Twin 12's are measured against. You must keep in mind that this is a tube amp and vacuum tubes can be touchy and delicate at times. This is a fact with ALL tube amps. I hauled this amp from Florida to Oklahoma and back and never worried a bit about its reliability. Fit and finish are excellent. This is an amp that you are proud to pull the cover off and play.

Value:
This is an expensive amp for it's class and output, but you get what you pay for. It is in a "classic" class of it's own.

Desirability:
"Sex Appeal"? Well I can't describe the feeling of plugging into this amp for the first time. Simple chords come alive. There is a character to this amp that is just "special"

Sound:
I rate this amp as a solid "10" based on it's ability to consistantly generate those classic 60's sounds. I have tried a lot of amps and effects units and have never been able to duplicate the characteristics of this amp. Like the DeLuxe...the sound is unique. Recently my band from the late 60's re-united for the first time in 35 years to perform at an outdoor event. This amp performed like a champ (no not a Fender champ) Lead and rythem was true to form. This re-issue does a very nice job of matching the classic sound of the original Twin.

Support:
One call to Fender regarding tube hardness. Quick and helpfull response.

Feature:
This amp features sound like no other amp. The reverb is the classic Fender Reverb that all others strive for. Tremelo purrs, and it is LOUD .. the sound stays clean even when your ears are about to burst ...

Quality:
This thing is a beast. To coin a Ford advertisement 'Like a Rock'

Value:
Why bother messing with an imitation. This is the real deal and worth every penny.

Desirability:
This amp oozes with sex appeal ... the first time I saw it I started dry humping it in the store ... the sales person told me I would have to buy it if I wanted to continue .. so I bought the amp, took it home, and rode it like I was 17 ...

Sound:
This amp has the loudest, richest, deepest clean sound you can get .. all other amps try to imitate the twin's tone.

Support:
Never needed support.

Overall:
You never need to buy another amp again ...
