Description

This early silverface Twin Reverb from 1971 represents the transition period when Fender retained much of the beloved blackface circuitry while adopting the new cosmetic appearance. With 100 watts of pristine 6L6 power driving dual 12" speakers, this amp delivers legendary clean headroom and the sparkling Fender reverb that defined countless recordings. The early silverface models like this one are particularly prized for maintaining the superior tone circuits of the blackface era while offering the visual appeal of the silver panel aesthetic.

Modifications

• XLR microphone output professionally installed for direct recording/PA interface

Fun Fact

The 1971 Twin Reverb sits right at the crossroads of Fender's golden era - it's technically a silverface but retains the coveted blackface circuit topology that made these amps legendary. Many professional guitarists and recording engineers consider the early silverface Twin Reverbs (1968-1972) to be among the finest amplifiers Fender ever produced. The added XLR output on this example makes it particularly studio-friendly, allowing direct connection to mixing consoles - a modification that was often requested by session players who needed both the amp's natural tone and the convenience of direct recording.
