Members Johnny Z Posted August 14, 2008 Members Share Posted August 14, 2008 The 666 tone adj. is a good place to start especially on the older non-Master Volume amps, for the SF amps and some of the newer reissue amps try replacing the 12AT7 driver tube (phase inv.) with a 12AX7 and if it has a bright switch and your using humbuckers turn it on.

Members Weenabob Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 Although very cautious of the number 666, as far as amp settings go it sounds great. Does anyone have have any advice on what a good Reverb, Speed and Intensity Setting on the Vibrato Channel should be? Also have a slight "ticking" sound in the Vibrato Channel that I heard is common. Have a 1969 Twin Reverb SilverFace with essentially AB763 BlackFace circuitry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dmtec Posted August 10, 2009 Members Share Posted August 10, 2009 Sorry, I cant dial the Volume above 3 without dying of volume. Also, the Middle Knob doesn't really effect sound, so I have it around 8. Treble is 7 for me and bass 4. I will try the Magic 6 next rehearsal, but does anyone else have my settings? I use a Fender 65 Twin Reverb Reissue with a Fender USA Stratocaster Ultra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reauchambeau Posted February 26, 2012 Members Share Posted February 26, 2012 No. Volume 6, Treble 6, Mid 6, Bass 3, Reverb 2 is the magic blackface formula. Obviously different guitars require a slight tweek in the settings, but those settings are guaranteed to cut through any mix and sounds excellent. this, bass above three or so and they start sounding bloated. also everything on 10 or you're ghey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hecticone Posted February 26, 2012 Members Share Posted February 26, 2012 If your bass is sounding bloated above 3 you must have an awful dark guitar. Many a guitar player have the eq's wide open on the twins. Then I just use the tone pot if necessary for final adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members White Cloud Posted October 5, 2019 Members Share Posted October 5, 2019 I have butterscotch Nashville Tele and want to upgrade my center pickup to a Seymour-Duncan ....good idea ? Plus deal with the 5-way switch and pull pods while I at it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Justin time Posted October 29, 2020 Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 70's twin slightly modded, volume 2.5-3, treble 7, mids 4, bass 4, master 10, bright switch on, reverb 2. I play mostly funk and soul music. I usually play a tele, but with a added strat middle pickup wired to its own volume then to the jack. So when the middle pickup volume is off, its a normal 3 way switch tele, then I can bleed in the strat middle pickup with its own volume. So the guitar has 2 volumes and 1 master tone.

Members Mikeo Posted October 29, 2020 Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 My Fender Twin sits in my attic. It's the last of the push pull master volume Twins Fender made, when returning to the black face plate. The next year the canned the Twin for the Twin Reverb II. I turn it on every once in a while. All 135 watts of it. I have a variac to slowly bring stuff up to power. It cost me my Musicman 65 2X10 combo, and 125 buck new. Back in the day when PA gear was costly and amps not so much. I really should ditch it and move on, but I have a lot of smaller amps too. It's in killer shape too, but ain't worth much. I used to A/B that with a 2X12 Marshall JCM 800 50 watt combo. That's in my attic too. Memories light the corners of my mindMisty water-colored memories of the way amps were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, a used Silverface Twin goes for less than a vintage DeLuxe or Princeton generally. More than once I've seen a Twin for sale on Craigslist and people say something like "Great amp, but it's too big, too heavy and too loud for me!"
