Fender '57 Custom Twin-amp - 2x12 40w Hand-wired Electric Guitar Combo Amplifier

---

'57 Custom Twin-Amp

The '57 Custom Twin-Amp replicates the original so-called "low-powered" tweed Twin platform, coveted for its sweet, singing tone and highly responsive dynamics. This responsive handwired amp generates clear tone with a bit of "hair" to bring out the expressiveness and nuances of your playing. Robust and powerful, this pedal-friendly performer offers near-limitless tone-shaping possibilities.

The magic of the '57 Custom Twin-Amp is in the 5E8A circuit powered by two 12AY7 and two 12AX7 preamp tubes - a classic design that produces a wide range of useful, highly desirable tones. Ideal for playing clubs, this amp breaks up at reasonable volume while still cranking out pristine, clear, three-dimensional clean tones and fat, greasy overdriven blues tones effortlessly. The smooth-sounding bass, treble and presence controls sculpt your sound while offering a high degree of interactivity, unlocking a surprising wealth of sonic possibilities. A duet of 6L6 power tubes paired with two 5AR4 rectifier tubes creates robust power amp response, adding natural tube compression to your tone when "slammed", while a pair of newly designed growling 12" Eminence® Special Design alnico speakers replicates the subtlest playing nuances. The handwired circuit includes newly sourced yellow coupling capacitors chosen for authentic vintage Fender tone - sparkly cleans and creamy overdrive with smooth top end and round mids.

From its golden brown tweed covering to the top-mounted control panel bearing classic chickenhead control knobs, this amplifier embodies eye-catching, vintage-style Fender cool. Just like the original, the Bright and Normal channels each include high and low gain ¼" inputs to accommodate a variety of instruments. The '57 Custom Twin-Amp is a versatile sonic architect - timeless, flexible tone is matched with clean power and stunning visual style. Includes a protective amp cover.
