Fender 57 Twin Custom Guitar Combo Amp
The ’57 Twin Amp, one of the most collectible amps of all time, is the latest member of Fender's highly acclaimed Custom Series amplifier family. It’s an all-tube combo amp with hand-wired circuitry and premium components. Fender reproduced the 1955-57 edition “low powered” 5E8A circuit, which produces 40 watts into a pair of 12” Alnico-magnet speakers. The Twin’s harmonically rich clean tones are great for authentic vintage rock, blues, and country playing; when cranked up, the Twin Amp’s fat, sophisticated distortion tone works wonderfully in many modern musical situations. The ’57 Twin Amp gets its power from a pair of new USA-made GT6L6-GE output tubes. The power supply includes Fender’s rarely seen mid-50’s dual rectifier arrangement, which uses two 5U4 rectifier tubes. With this design, power amp compression or “sag” is more subtle than it is in many Fender Tweed designs. The Twin’s preamp contains four high-gain 12AX7 tubes, three of which may be substituted with 12AY7’s for the original ‘50s low-gain sound, if desired. Fender also added an internal bias pot, allowing easy substitution of various 6L6 types. Control panel details include: Normal and Bright volumes, four Inputs (two Normal, two Bright), Treble, Bass, and Presence knobs. The ’57 Twin’s finger-joined solid pine cabinet resonates with a warm, woody tone. The amp is covered in genuine Lacquered Tweed, and the visually striking package is topped off with vintage brown/gold grille cloth and a leather strap handle. Fitted cover is included.
