Blackface 212 – based on a 1965 Fender Twin Reverb

3 • 12

The classic blackface Fender Twin (in this case, a 1965 Twin) was a real workhorse. Everybody used it, from jazz and country players to serious rockers. I myself remember seeing Johnny Winter at a concert where both he and Rick Derringer—am I dating myself or what?—were using six Twins stacked in a pyramid. Each. We were in the second balcony and it was REALLY loud even all the way back there. The Twin has a lot of tonal flexibility and is at home in a great many different situations. It never gets extremely overdriven and dirty, mostly just louder—a lot louder.

With Duoverb’s killer spring reverb model, this is a great choice for the classic surf sound. Goose the reverb, crank up the volume, and get ready to party with Annette Funicello and the rest of the gang!

The Cabinet Model is based on the Twin with its 12-inch Jensen speakers.
