Fender '68 Custom Twin Reverb AmpInstrukcja obsługi urządzenia lifier

1. Wprowadzenie i koniecview

The Fender '68 Custom Twin Reverb Amplifier pays tribute to the classic look, sound, and performance of Fender's late '60s "silver face" amplifiers. Originally a transitional year for Fender amps, 1968 brought a fresh aesthetic with a silver and turquoise front panel and aluminum "drip edge" grille cloth trim, while maintaining the pure Fender tone. This amplifier is renowned for its clear, deep, and powerful sound, delivering big tube tone with world-class Fender reverb and vibrato effects.

The '68 Custom Twin Reverb features both channels with reverb and tremolo. The "custom" channel incorporates a modified Bassman tone stack, offering modern players enhanced tonal flexibility, especially when using pedals. It also provides quicker gain onset and reduced negative feedback for greater touch sensitivity. Equipped with dual 12-inch Celestion G12V-70 speakers, this amplifier delivers a distinctively rock 'n' roll flavor.
