Fender Twin. Thoughts?

[Valtiel]

Then you try the Vox AC30 and go: WTF was I thinking? No but seriously, once you try both a Twin and an AC30, then you will know both ends of the AWESOME clean spectrum... People tend to prefer one to the other (Vox or Fender), Most of the time both are liked but some inclination towards the other. I made a thread once and the poll was in the AC30's favor over Fender. I know that I was a Fender fanboi until I played a Vox, then I was like... {censored} Fender man, this {censored} is AWESOME! -D

(partial hijack) what sort of AC30's are good these days? Given that most of the Vox's are built in China now and all....

obviously some people have made the Twin work great. I personally can't stand them. I like something that I can push a bit, and that has some preamp crunch to it, as well as some "sing" when you push harder.

I have a '71 Twin Reverb with JBL D-120F speakers. I hope to God I am never in a situation where I would need to sell it.

Trade it

The question is, can it do teh br00tz?

Trade it

 

 

I cannot think of anything of the same value I would rather have. This is figuring that, at most, my '71 Twin is probably worth around $1100 (retail) in today's market.

 

I paid $225 for it 28 years ago, had the speakers re-coned by Weber for $165, and replaced tubes and filter caps for around $85, including biasing tool and new multimeter.
