    I have this exact amp… it’s enormous, heavy, too loud…. But it’s honestly the best tone I’ve ever heard in my life. I’ve debated selling it in the past and been round several music stores trying to find an alternative. I tried everything, mesa, vox, matchless etc. Nothing comes anywhere near it, it’s so incredibly fat sounding and has a beautiful fizzy sparkle.

    I had a fender twin all through the 70s and never blew a tube....I put casters on mine and used a hand dolly to move it around...That twin and my Les Paul Custom back kept me getting my back adjusted but now I don't gig out, I can have another tube amp in my studio without the worries! They are great amps! The other trick Dave...get a young guitar student to be your roadie....just make sure he's a giant

    Dad gave me a Twin, out-of-the-blue, 1970 or maybe '69, I think so I'd have no time to become a hippie. It almost worked, but my S&H Green Stamps E. Guitar sprang to life!

    The Twin is one of my favorite amps and a Mesa V-Twin sounds glorious in front of it and it even works well at low volumes, which is good because it’s too heavy to take anywhere.

    • @Innerspace100
      @Innerspace100 Год назад +1

      I have a Mesa V-Twin! They are such underrated things! I've had mine for over 25 years now, and I swear by it. And yeah, it and a Fender Twin/The Twin is a glorious combo.

  • @robbyclark6915
    @robbyclark6915 8 месяцев назад +1

    Aaah! I literally just bought this very amp! I never even heard of it before today! I found one at a local guitar shop in town. I played it on all 3 channels and looked it over a bit. I played it next to a “real” twin verb, and I was super impressed with the sound!! I bought it on the spot! The gentleman who sold it to me even came down $159 off his asking price! I figured, can find regular twins, deluxe, Princetons, and all the usual suspects all day, every day, but this!? I’m 55 and it’s the first one I’ve ever seen until today. So I bought her.
    Btw, mine came on casters! FS included too!

    8:00- "This is technology that does work." When Master Dave says this it brought to mind my only vintage tube (valve) amp, a 1964 Blackface Fender Champ. All stock except for tubes and a new Weber speaker I put in a couple years ago because the original Oxford was too tired. I'm always amazed when I push that slider switch and the warm red jewel light comes to life (going on 60 years).

    I had this amp. It was an absolute tank. Probably the most reliable tube amp I ever owned. I had it installed with caster wheels so all I had to do is lift it out of the car and could roll the rest of the way. It weighs close to 80 pounds, and was ungodly loud, so that's why I ended up selling it. Sounded great though. I think that's the same model which had an ability to self bias the tubes in the back. All you need was a multimeter and a screwdriver you could bias the tubes without taking it to a tech. I never understood why fender got rid of that ability on their amps.

      @balke7935 huh. The red knob twin is the red knob.
      The evil twin was from an advertisement that had both the 65 RI and the twin amp.
      And referred to the twin amp as the evil twin. Not the red knob. Google it. Find the magazine article. Easy to find.

    great video! i work daily on live shows with 2 65 ri twins or backbreakers...made them sound even better with some vintage glass. in the 65 ri models or vintage twins you have 2 clean channels each has a first preamp tube so by swapping the first 2 preamp tubes you can create 2 great and different voicings and have 2 amps in one heavy box!

    That's the one they refer to as the "evil twin" It has like twelve tubes -valves -Americans call them tubes...mostly. In the U.S. you find them at very reasonable prices, but with twelve tubes-valves, it's too expensive in upkeep. They do sound great though. From listening to Dave's videos, I think this amp brings the best strat tone I've heard Dave play IMO.

    awesome playing Dave and awesome sound from this amp. Ive been looking for a super clean amp and local guitar center has used one. This amp would stay parked in my room and connected thru ox box which i just noodle and record ideas. i do not gig just been buying gear since covid hit and working from home still. I think this compared to twin reverb which is double the price would be best for cleans and light distortion as i like clean classic distortion sound or lighter distortion. I do have a 68 vibrolux reverb reissue silver face which sounds good but breaks up too soon so i think this amp sounds the best for my situation.

Watching Your vid has inspired me to bite the bullet and send Her off for repair. Ps. Just received my SubZero head and it's a thing of beauty, just hope the Fender repair will come in at the same cost of the SubZero..................🙄🤕🙄

    hi dave. love your style and playing. you seem like a good guy. take your fender twin amp and pull the two middle power tubes . the 6l6s. per owners manual instructions. this will step it down to 60 watts. and the low power switch in the back will reduce it to quarter power. basically 15 watts like a blues junior. i have the same amp with a pair of celestion vintage 30s installed. have had it fifteen years and will never part with it

I really enjoy my amp but I’m not sure how convenient a head and cab are. Context wise I always use a lot of preamp gain for my pedals

      Yeah, that would be nice. I don't see the point of having a "low power" option when it only halves the wattage. I mean, 50 watts isn't half the volume, so either go down to 25% (although 10% would be ideal) so it's useful, or don't have it at all.
