An 85-watt all-tube combo with immense clean headroom through two 12-inch speakers, delivering crystal-clear tone that serves as the ultimate pedal platform for medium to large venue performance.
The '68 Custom Twin Reverb isn't just a reissue; it's a player-focused modification of a legend. While the '65 Reissue aims for pristine accuracy, the '68 offers a more aggressive, touch-sensitive experience. The standout feature is the Bassman tone stack on the 'Custom' channel, which provides a thicker, mid-forward alternative to the scooped, crystalline 'Vintage' side.
Equipped with Celestion G12V-70 speakers, this amp moves away from the traditional 'ice-pick' highs of Jensen drivers toward a smoother, punchier response that handles high-gain pedals exceptionally well. By reducing negative feedback, Fender gave this beast a slightly quicker onset of harmonic saturation, though with 85 watts of 6L6 power, you're still looking at stadium-level volume before it truly breaks up.
The ability to use Reverb and Tremolo on both channels is a massive functional upgrade over the original design. However, be aware that this 'hotter' circuit results in a noticeably higher idle hiss compared to the '65 Reissue"a common trade-off for its increased sensitivity. It is a heavy, uncompromising slab of tone best suited for the touring professional or the pedalboard enthusiast who requires a massive, reliable canvas with a distinct rock-and-roll heart.
