The Fender Twin 2x12 combo i have was made in the USA in 92, the date was taken from the Fender web site after finding a serial number / date  resource. A Blackface `Twin` (note= Not Twin Reverb) Black knobs  ( some models had Red knobs). To see this amp go to       steve@ampguy.co.uk        and in the pre-owned section there is a picture of this very amp !. This is a professional amp and says as much on the facia.  100watt 4x 6L6 with a 1/4 power switchable to 25 watts. Clean and Crunch have a shared eq  and the Lead channel has a seperate eq.
                                                                                                                                                         There is a channel
assignable effect loop with front mounted Mix , also next to it is a Prescence and Reverb knob. Round the back is an array of Switches and sockets. Standby, Off/On, Quarter & Full power switches. Effects level switches with channel assign. Reverb with same. Extension speaker options with switchable 0hm select + series/parralell speaker wiring matches. Fuse and Hard wired mains lead. Phew!! oh yea, and foot switch socket. The 3 button footswitch controls; Channel= Clean . Crunch/ Lead / Reverb.
The speakers are original and possibly Eminence ?. The cabinet has `Tilt Back `legs and removable castors and a single handle on top. Heres the `Rub`, this has got to be among the heaviest objects known to man.
I bought it at a Music trade fair and was knocked out by its clean sound as were three other guys who were up to buying it.  The deal was struck and i elected to pick it up later , little did i know what was in store for me.
         I love this amp, but i just cant lug it about.  A Strat or 335 type guitar and your set for any gig. Go to Harmony Central and under User Review - Guitar Amps - Fender - `The Twin` right down the bottom , as the newer version is toward the top ,you will find pages of reviews.
I`m a big strong 54 year old, but if i had felt the weight before buying i doubt i would have it now.
                                   I have a nice selection of valve amps for every eventuality, i  never gigged  this amp but its a very popular model. Sell it or keep it Hmmmm? , its not a money thing, so why? ( Answeres on a post card please.)


                                                                         WILL I REGRET SELLING IT ?

Hi, hi, hi.

Regrets, I have a few:

Solid rosewood "George Harrison" Tele from, err, '71, I think, but it's been a while.
'73 SG
'78 Strat - One of the rare 70s Strats that were really good.
Martin HD28VR - The best acoustic guitar I've ever seen or heard, bar none, and I have heard some pretty damn fancy ones.
Custom ES-175 replica, made by a local luthier.  All solid wood.  Was sweet.
Ibanez S540.  Yeah, it wasn't one of the greats, but I really liked it.  I had a good one.  Plus, it was purple and purple guitars are hard to come by these days.  ;)
