The Fender '57 Twin-Amp (Custom Series) is a reissue guitar combo amplifier. This is modeled after the original Fender Twin design as far as I can tell, and although I'm not sure exactly what year they started making them, 1957 seems to make sense. The amp is an all tube amp and has 40 watts of power into 4 ohms and two 12" speakers. It has two 5U4 rectifier tubes and has a classic tweed look and design. It also has four 1/4" inputs - two for the normal input channel and two for a bright input channel.
UTILIZATION
The make up of the Fender '57 Twin-Amp is easy to follow, regardless of your experience with Twin amps. The parameters you'll find here include volume for the bright channel, volume for the normal channel, presence, and bass and treble control. It's very easy to get a good sound from this amp, as it sounds pretty much amazing no matter what you do with it. A manual shouldn't be necessary.
SOUNDS
The Fender '57 Twin-Amp is up there with some of the best amps that I've ever heard. Yes it's a reissue, but that doesn't mean much when it's pretty much a part for part replica of the original. I've only used the amp for recording in the studio when on a recent session one of the session musicians brought in the amp to use for his electric and pedal steel guitars. It's such a pretty sound to me - it's the perfect combination of grit and pure clean sound. Truly one of the best tube amps I've heard in a while.
OVERALL OPINION
While the Fender '57 Twin-Amp is an incredible amp and is up there with some of the best I've heard, the price certainly reflect this and it won't be affordable for most musicians. It's definitely a pro's amplifier as only professional's will be able to afford and warrant spending this much money on an amp. Still, if you're lucky enough to use one in a studio, please take advantage as it's a very special amplifier!!
