Twin Amp

1961

Nice early example with rough white tolex and maroon grille. A recurring theme with early Twin Amps is that they seldom have their original Jensen speakers – this was Fender’s first 80 watt amp with four 6L6GC power tubes. The Jensen 12” alnico speakers being supplied to Fender simply could not handle the output. This amp comes equipped with a pair of 12” JBL 120F speakers, which take the output in stride. The Twin has plenty of clean headroom to pierce through any mix when cranked and, if necessary, remove any loose paint from surrounding objects. It also is the first combo amp to have tilt-back legs.
