This amp is not a Twin Reverb, it's The Twin. The Twin is a reverbless
channel switching 100 watt tube amp. It retained the 2X12 speaker
configuration of the Twin Reverb but nothing else was similar. This amp
has a clean channel and a distorted channel with a 25 watt studio setting
too. It has line out and an effects loop coupled with completely active
tone controls. It has a presence control with a notch filter and the
tone could range from strident to the point of breaking glass tone to
muddy. This is a very user configurable amplifier. Made from the mid
80's until about 1994 it's the only amp that made it from the CBS era
into the new company's line. Very popular with guitar players due to the
versatility and power. The clues here are the red knobs although later
production went back to the more traditional black knobs. More than you
ever wanted to know about amplifier specs. fjm
