Control Panel - Fender 57 Custom Twin-Amp Mode D'emploi

With its dual 12" speakers, the aptly named Fender Twin-Amp of
the 1950s became an industry standard for good reason. Exception-
ally powerful for its time, this superlative amplifier filled dance halls
and barrooms with warm, rich guitar tone, and many of today's top
rock, blues and country guitarists still depend on the tube-powered,
tweed-covered Twin-Amp to deliver their signature sounds onstage.
The '57 Custom Twin-Amp continues that legacy, with all-tube hand-
wired circuitry and premium components. It faithfully recreates the
tones of the original classic 5E8-A design, delivering 40 watts of
robust output power. Two all-new Special Design 12" alnico speak-
ers by Eminence® are voiced for tough yet incredibly sensitive and
versatile response, and new reverse-engineered '50s vintage "Yellow"
tone capacitors add subtly nuanced tonal magic. Along with custom
transformers, internal bias control for easy substitution of various
6L6 power tube types, Bright and Normal channels, finger-joined
solid pine cabinet, lacquered tweed covering and more, the result is a
richly rewarding amplifier experience that's pure Fender.
The '57 Custom Twin-Amp's harmonically rich clean tones are perfect
for recreating classic guitar styles, but today's pedalboard enthusiast

A. FUSE: Provides electrical over-current protection. With power
disconnected, replace a blown fuse only with one of the type
and rating specified below the fuse holder.
B. POWER SWITCH: Turns amp on and off. Both the POWER and
STANDBY (C) switches must be on for audible output.
C. STANDBY SWITCH: Disables speaker output while power is on. To
extend tube life, leave switch in STANDBY position for first 60 sec-
onds after turning POWER (B) on. Instead of turning amp off during
short breaks, set switch to STANDBY position to further extend
tube life and to avoid tube-warmup delay when resuming play.
D. POWER JEWEL: Illuminates while amplifier is on.
E. PRESENCE: Ultra-high frequency tone control adds greater
high-end sparkle.
F. BASS: Tone control for lower frequencies.

input 2 has lower sensitivity (-6dB) for cleaner response with
high-output and pre-amplified instruments.
K. NORMAL INPUTS: These two inputs provide regular frequency
response. Normal input 1 produces full sensitivity; Normal input
2 has lower sensitivity (-6dB) for cleaner response with high-
