  6. Easy to use, one power switch, one standby switch. Two volume knobs for each channel. Reverb and Vibrato effects are available and sound sweet. Just plug into the input and rock out. It has an output jack for an external cabinet.

  7. Performance Rating: 10

  8. Sound Quality

  9. This one has has more watts than your typical Twin Reverb. Most are 65 watts, this one is 135! It’s powerful enough to handle any effect you put it through, and can play at SCREAMING loud volumes. Tone is not quite as good at lower volumes, turn it up past 6 and it sounds like it came straight from Heaven. Excellant clean sound. The vibrato and reverb are EXCELLENT! Far better than any effect pedal you could ever buy. Both can be turned on or off with a foot switch. The master volume knob pulls out to kick the amp into overdrive, but it doesn’t sound that good. But I didn’t buy this amp to sound like a tremoverb. If you want shimmering clean tone, this is the way to go. If you want to add some powerful distortion buy a rockin’ pedal and this Twin will handle it just fine! I currently use a Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer and it sounds great. I’d like go get a Marshall Jackhammer to get some really heavy distortion.

  11. Construction

  12. It’s old, so it has got some scratches here and there. The light is starting to fall back into the amp, but that’s just because I haven’t put a washer on it. It’s a beast. Heavy (70 lbs), and rugged. I wouldn’t want to use it for target practice though.

  13. Construction Rating: 10
