Fender Twin

The Fender Twin is a guitar amplifier made by Fender. It was introduced in 1952, two years before Fender began selling Stratocaster electric guitars. The amps are known for their characteristically clean tone.

The Twin has seen a number of revisions since its introduction, both internal and external, with its designs sometimes varying greatly from one year to the next. Several variations on the amp's original design have been produced through the years, including the Twin Reverb, the Super Twin, the Twin Reverb II, and the Twin Reverb '65 Reissue. The Cyber Twin, which combined a tube amp with a computerized processor, was introduced in January 2001.

Many notable musicians have used Fender Twin amplifiers, including Chuck Berry, the Beatles, (1968 Twin Reverb amps using the AC568 circuit),Jimi Hendrix,Eric Clapton,Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones, Jerry Garcia and Eric Johnson.
