amp · tube combo

'65 Twin Reverb

An 85-watt tube combo built around Fender's clean sound, and the amp players reach for as a platform for pedals.

Why it matters

The 85 watts of clean headroom are the point: this is the model in Fender's range that is bought for its clean tone and used as a pedal platform. The reissue has been in the catalogue since 1992 and follows the 1963 original.

Note

85 watts of clean headroom from four 6L6s, which is why it is the amp players put pedals in front of.

Before you buy

• 85 watts of clean headroom, so check it suits the rooms you play
• it is bought as a pedal platform, so budget for the pedals you plan to run through it
