Twin Amp

thoughts on the fender "the twin" amp ?
It's very heavy, its VERY loud, and it can play "clean" louder than a lot of other amps. It is a versatile amp, but there are a lot of versatile amps these days. If you don't mind hauling an anchor around, it could be an amp for you.
"Johnny Angel" really knows his amp history, but "J.A." probably doesn't know about the new modeling amp designed by Reinhold Bogner for Line 6 - it actually is a TUBE amp - its the effects that are modeled. I own almost 2 dozen amps - several are "world class" (IMHO), and the Line 6 amp is the best sounding "modeling" amp I have ever heard - it actually sounds GOOD - I know - I heard one. And don't rule out "modeling" amps completely - the old stuff is not that good - the newer stuff is a lot better, and You Can "own" $20,000 worth of Vintage Amp sounds for the price of the modeling hardware or software, and direct to computer recording of you playing your guitar at arena volume levels at 3 a.m. are much easier to achieve using modeled amps, If you want to "warm up" the "digital dryness" a bit, just try using a tube pre-amp for that. And do not use cheap "computer" speakers for your computer recording - be sure to use a set of good powered monitors, or something like that. A lot of musicians I know use these instead of those horrible speakers that usually come with the computer.
The Fender Twin is a classic. The "The Twin" is a variation on it, and will probably become a classic. However, there are lot of great amps these days - we are living in a "golden age" of amp building. If you have the budget, try some of these brands: Matchless, Guytron, Carr, THD, Blankenship, etc. Go to the "highest priced" list on EBay for guitar amplifiers and you will start to see the incredible assortment available to you. If you buy a used one of these, it can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and is easily in the same league as the Fender Twin - some might even say "above" it.
However, you still have to try out the gear with your guitar and your ears - what is great for someone else might not be right for you at all. Happy Hunting!
