Fender TWIN REVERB-AMP Mode D'emploi page 8

1968 was a transitional year for Fender amps, with tone that
was still pure Fender but a look that was brand new. With a
silver-and-turquoise front panel and classy aluminum "drip
edge" grille cloth trim, the Twin Reverb received a fresh new
face as it remained the backline amp of choice for pros and
amateurs everywhere. Clear, deep and powerful, it produced
big tube tone, with world-class Fender reverb and vibrato
effects. For countless guitarists ever since, the Twin Reverb
has been the go-to amp for classic Fender sound.
The '68 Custom Twin Reverb Amp pays tribute to the classic
look, sound and performance of Fender's late-'60s "silver-
face" amps. In a special twist, both channels boast reverb and
tremolo, and the "custom" channel has a modified Bassman®
tone stack that gives modern players greater tonal flexibility
with pedals. The amp also features quicker gain onset and
reduced negative feedback for greater touch sensitivity. The
'68 Custom Twin Reverb's dual 12" Celestion® G12V-70 speak-
ers also deliver a more distinctively rock 'n' roll flavor.
