I bought this new from Musicians Friend in late 2007 because I always wanted a Twin Reverb. But I never thought I would actually use it for gigs, given its size and weight.

I perform as a one man band - I play guitar and keyboard, use a vocal harmonizer, and a Boss Jamstation for my drums and bass. I come pretty close to sounding like a 3 or 4 piece group. For years I have hauled around a small guitar amp and a PA system, running the backings, the keyboard, and vocals through the PA. While none of these items is especially heavy, there were enough of them (amp, speaker stands, speakers, PA amp) to make setup take longer than I wanted.

One day I decided to see what would happen if I ran everything through the Twin Reverb. All I can say is, "Wow"! First, my guitar of choice, a Fender Strat, sounds so "fenderish" through this amp - by tweaking the bias I am able to get a wonderful warm sound just short of distorting. Of the dozen or so amps that I own, this sounds the best by far. The Amp's reverb and vibrato add very rich effects, and I only use an effects pedal when I want a little more grit in my sound.

With the 15" speaker, the keyboard sounds awesome. I run the keyboard and guitar through the vibrato channel.

I run the vocals and backing through the normal channel. The sound is amazing. My vocals are so much richer and full bodied than what I was getting through my PA system (Fender Passport). And with the 15" speaker, the backing sounds so much like a real band it's scarey.

So, from having to lug 6 different things around, I am down to one big box, the Twin Reverb. And while it is heavy, the casters make it easy to move (provided you can stay on concrete or similar hard surface).

So, what started as "I always wanted one of these" has turned into a dream for this one man band guy. And, if I ever do gig with other musicians, the Twin will hold up to just about any situation!

I had a Fender Twin Reverb back in the day. For those of you thinking about buying one, they are cheaper today then they were in the early 60's. (adjusted for inflation). I wanted the same sound I used to get years ago, so I bought the 65 Twin 15 Combo. I am not dissapointed. It brings back many memories. The big 15 inch speaker absolutley has no bottom. I play clean, and this amp gives you everything you could want. The tube reverb has no match. I own four other amps and nothing matches the sound of those warm tubes. I did not give this amp the hightest rating because when it was shipped the cabinet castors had been placed inside of the amp cabinet, during shipping they managed to break the tubes and I had to replace the tubes at my expense. It seems to me that someone should have considered how fragile tubes are and placed the castors outside of the cabinet for shipping. Other than that, I highly recommend this amp for anyone who wants a high quality sound.

This amp is wonderful. If you like to play clean,this is hard to beat. The reverb and tremolo are beautiful and that speaker has very unique dynamics. I'm using a sparkle drive and a ts9 right now, although I have a tonebone ordered. You need a pedal to dirty it up and it has good harmonics.I set my bass to 7 or 8 and my mids to 5 or 6 dependig on the room. Treble is at 4 or 5. The other great thing is that this amp sounds the same regardless of where you are standing. The guys in the band are amazed at this. there are absolutely no hot spots. I even set it on one of those horn baffles made for open back amps and it didn't sound any different. Try one out!

I play jazz through 2 pretty nice archtops, so I bought this amp for its clean headroom and great tone, certainly not for its weight. I have been playing about 40 years (all kinds of music), have owned many amps including four Twin Reverbs, one a '68 with JBL's. I always return to Fenders for their unbeatable tone. I love this Custom 15. Possibly the best sounding amp I've ever owned. The sound from the Eminence 15" D130F copy is big, clean and focused without the 'hot spots' of the 2x12 version,i.e., consistent tone from any direction. There is a nice balance between bass and treble, and it brings out the individuality of each of my two quite different sounding archtops - any guitar will sound great through this amp. The tube driven reverb sounds - like a Fender! But this amp is definitely not for beginners, it amplifies what you actually sound like. I like that it comes already equipped with casters. So far I'm thrilled with this purchase. Way to go Fender!

I have been through 6 amps in the last 6 months looking for the perfect tone and versitility including several Fenders. I finally found it in the Twin Custom 15. I mainly play a American Strat Deluxe and an American Tele Deluxe with S1 switching. (this amp was made for a tele IMO) If you play country, jazz or blues get one. If you play rock get one and a pedal. Perfect sweet tone accross the spectrum, very quite and powerful! Very different from the Twin W/2 12's" which is a little shrill and brittle. The Custom is a little heavy but worth it and it does come with casters. Would have been all ten's except for no pre out jack. After 30 years of playing this is my all time favorite amp.
