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
recordings 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 improved reliability and manufacturing
efficiency, a printed circuit board for the components is
used in place of the original phenolic parts panel. The
power and output transformers used in the 85-watt
'65 Twin 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.
