This beautiful all tube combo amp is completely hand wired using premium components.
The Fender '57 Twin Tweed Combo Amp effectively reproduces the 1955 1957 edition's low powered 5E8A circuit, which produces 40W into a pair of 12" alnico magnet speakers. Its harmonically rich, clean tones are great for authentic rock, blues, and country playing. When cranked up, the Twin Amp's fat, sophisticated distortion tone works wonderfully in many modern musical situations.
The '57 Twin Amp gets its power from a pair of USA made GT6L6 GE output tubes. The power supply includes Fender's rarely seen '50s dual rectifier arrangement, which uses two 5U4 rectifier tubes. With this design, power amp compression, or sag, is more subtle than it is in many Fender Tweed designs. The preamp contains four high gain 12AX7 tubes, three of which may be substituted with 12AY7s for the original '50s low gain sound, if desired. There's also an internal bias pot that allows easy substitution of various 6L6 tube types.
Control panel details include Normal and Bright volumes, 4 Inputs (2 Normal, 2 Bright), Treble, Bass, and Presence knobs.
The '57 Twin's finger joined solid pine cabinet resonates with a warm, woody tone. The amp is covered in genuine lacquered tweed, and a vintage brown/gold grille cloth and leather strap handle complete a very vintage package. Fitted cover is included.
