Quotes about the Fender Twin There aren’t many guitarists out there who haven’t drooled at the thought of owning a proper Twin. Chris Corfield of Guitar World (January 14, 2025) Beloved of Keith Richards and erm, Steven Seagal amongst many others, Fender’s 1950s Tweed Twins are the connoisseur’s choice: loud, creamy and sophisticated. Chris Vinnicombe of MusicRadar (July 26, 2010) Throughout the decades, these sought-after tone machines have turned up in the rigs of countless guitarists. [...] 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. Damian Fanelli of Guitar World (April 24, 2020) If you can plug your guitar into an amp and make it sound good, that’s what it’s all about. The amp I really enjoy playing, especially when I’m traveling, is the Fender ’65 Twin Reverb. It’s got everything you need for live playing and it has great tone. That amp just works for me and it’s real trustworthy. When I travel on the road, I do use a little digital delay and maybe a little chorus, but I just like the sound of the guitar and playing something that I think people will appreciate and understand. James Burton, as quoted by Damian Fanelli of Guitar World (April 24, 2020) Notable not only as one of the first high-powered amplifiers, Fender’s tweed Twin of 1958 is also a gutsy tone monster.
