In your opinion, what is the single greatest Fender amp ever made?

I like the II series amps (Rivera years). I own a twin of that vintage... great tone... takes two men and a boy to move it. I also have a deluxe reverb (1968 according to the transformer) that I love to death and much easier to move around, but a different animal from the twin

I'm surprised at all the people saying the Twin. Maybe it's that quintessential part.


I'd argue that there are other Fender amps that sound just as good clean... that can actually overdrive. I think the Twin is nice, but is a one trick pony.
:p

 

Pop out the middle two output tubes and you get this subtle, gorgeous OD at band practice volumes instead of concert volumes. You haven't really played a Twin until you've done this simple mod to it ;)

 

Of course it will never be a high gain metal amp but unless you're totally clueless you wouldn't buy a TR for that anyway.

some of my favorite Fender amps I've had in my lifetime are:

 

Silver Face Pro Reverb

Silver Face Princeton Reverb

Silver Face Vibro Champ

Prosonic

 

but I do agree that the Twin is the winner....if only I was strong enough to carry one around.
