Your "new" ‘65 Twin Reverb
®
amplifier is living
proof of the quality and longevity of Fender
®
amplifier designs. Over the years, many
musicians have found the versatile Twin Reverb
a perfect match for guitar, bass guitar,
keyboards, vocals, accordion, and the electric
violin among others. Featuring REVERB and
VIBRATO, this two-channel amplifier has been
used on thousands of re c o rdings and
countless live performances since 1954 when
the first version appeared on the music scene.
Your new ‘65 Twin Reverb is a faithful
reproduction of an original 1965 Twin Reverb
model AB 763. Every effort has been made to
keep the circuitry exactly like the original. For
i m p roved
reliability
and
manufacturing
e ff i c i e n c y, a printed circuit board for the
components is used in place of the original
phenolic parts panel. The power and output
t r a n s f o rmers
used
in
the
85-watt
‘ 6 5 Tw i n Reverb are built to the original
specifications and although some components
used in this re-issue amplifier are different in
size and shape from the earlier version, the
component values are identical. The speakers
in the ‘65 Twin Reverb are duplicates of the
original Jensen 12-inch "Specially Designed for
Fender" speakers used for many years during
the 1960s.
It is suggested you read this manual thoroughly
to understand all the features and functions of
the amplifier. The purchase of a Fender
amplifier will provide years of musical
enjoyment and the ‘65 Twin Reverb helps keep
the Fender legacy going strong.
