Product Rating Product Review I bought one of these amps and the one channel didn't work. Had to fight with fender to warranty it. They never gave a return ticket. So then I had to fight with ams to take it back . This is the 3rd fender amp I've owned and all of them there was a problem with. I'm done with fender products.

Product Review Love this amp. The Bassman Tone stack in the custom channel is great, breaks up a bit earlier than the vintage channel and handles pedals extremely well. The vintage channel is exactly what you would expect for for classic twin reverb tone.

Product Review This is the perfect amp for the guitar enthusiast who’s really ready to take their tone to the next level. I was completely taken away by how this amp feels with how responsive it is to my touch. Both of these channels are great and take on my expectations. The Reverb and Vibrato sound great although I think it’s best to not crank them up too much. My foot switch actually broke but I think I’ll get a new one or replace the tank…not a big deal. Very loud and robust amp.

Product Review I recently decided to get back into playing live music. I bought this amp first before I had any guitars. Then I bought Fender Strat, loved the sound. Such an upgrade from my crappy crate amp that my dad bought me from the pawn shop to go with the Harmony Strat to match! This combo was no good, sounded like a toy! I’m just getting back into playing guitar it’s been 30 years since I’ve played on a regular basis. This amp has changed my life! All I can do now is play and mess with the sound. I’ve gotten In to pedals and effects as well, so many options. This amp does it all and for a combo I am really impressed! I would absolutely recommend this amplifier, you won’t be disappointed! ??

This is my 2nd '68 Custom Twin reverb.

Product Review This is my 2nd '68 Custom Twin reverb. One of the most important features are the endless tonality possibilities with the tree tone controls per channel. Vintage and Custom channels also opens to more alternatives switching between or playing both channels at the same time. I would say, this is a very loud and versatility amplifier. Possibilities are endless, break easy to get that sweet spot. Very well constructed and rugged for those in the road. As a final word. The Twin Reverb have excellent customer support during and after the warranty.

Product Review I’m building a studio for music ministers who might not be able to afford to produce their demo and I’d like to come as close as possible to the Muscle Shoals sound. This is close enough, a great compliment to a 70’s strat and a 50’s tele we have close at hand. Thanks to the payment plan American Musical offers, I’m one step closer to the ideal! Thanks guys!

Product Review The amp i received had a noticeable hum on standby...another odd thing ..it came with "10" rated groove tubes...according to Fender...they ship every amp with med.4-7 rated tubes...the person I spoke with questioned if the amp was new...because they would never ship one with 10 rated tubes...seemed new to me when it arrived...who knows..

Product Review Trying to practice with this amp is a bit of a challenge, with 85 watts of amazing tone and power this amp will easily drawned out the rest of the band. I have fallen in love with the custom side of the amp. The tone is more like the fender Bassman amps of old with the ability to use reverb and tremolo. I have played all me Summer shows with it. A little note to the buyer Fender Twin reverbs a heavey and hard to carry. I like it better then the 65 reissue twin reverb that I own. Giving me faster brake up and deeper tones with better sounds when using peddles. This amp give you a new out look on an older model. I play both a ES335 and a 65 fender stratocaster. When you learn some of the trick's of the amp both sound amazing and give you amazing cleans and blues grit. If you are looking for old school meets modern then this amp is for you. It will give you the chance to make your own classic tones and sound. Braking away from the norm and giving your own voice in a world off class amps,this one in my 30 years of playing shine through for a new out look on the twin reverd. If you are looking for a great amp to play out and make your own sound why still keeping classic fender tones,the fender deluxe custom twin reverd give you more for less money then the 65 reissue reverb.

Classic Fender Sound

Product Review I like the classic channel and custom channel and vibrato and tremolo is available on both. I do wish there was a master gain I will have to get an overdrive pedal since I will never crank the volume loud enough to overdrive. I have had it for a few weeks now and it has met my expectations since I always wanted a Twin Reverb for that Classic Fender sound. As always AMS was great to deal with.

Product Review This is a surprise but well expected satisfaction from Fender! Versatility and quality for the price are the main words that come to mind. A perfect fit for those like myself that have several pedal boards and needing to capture the best mix of both clean and vintage sounds. This gets you there without spending the price of boutique amps. A must for any house of worship and recording guitarist.

Product Review I have owned a couple of old twin reverbs in the past. I was a bit skeptical of the so called upgrades.. I now have had all doubts erased!!! I run the amp with a jumper like the old ones and it is so sweet with the bassman upgrade I really get lost in the sound of the amp without any fx... and when I plugged in the RK5 I was totally blown away.... I would recommend this amp to any one that wants a great straight ahead or fx'd tube sound... in fact... I will soon be buying a 2nd one!!!!

Product Review The 68 Custom has a blue jewel because it runs off of the power of Zeus himself. Threw 85 watts worth of lightning bolt right into this sucker?? The custom channel is straight fireeee, The Vintage channel is straight fire! I regret not buying one of these from the begining. Anything else is a waste ??

Product Review This Fender 68 Custom Twin Reverb 85 Watt 2x12 Guitar Combo Amplifier is a true sound dream come true. With its dual channels, bright switch for each, sharing reverb and tremolo in cased in a pine cabinet and finished with a gorgeous silver turquoise grill cloth hiding dual 12-inch Celestion G12V-70 speakers, pumped by four 6L6 power tubes gives 85W of that traditional Fender chime. The Baseman Tone of the custom channel brings versatility to a new level for this Silver tone based beauty reissue from 1968. If your in the music room or hammering music out on stage, this amp provides excellent sound output at low or high levels. I have a Fender Mustang IV 150W and Fender Champion 100W and love both of them. Also play through a Marshall DSL 100W head using a Marshall 1960A cabinet and a Marshall MA50C. The Fender 68 Custom Twin Reverb challenges them all, especially when you incorporate pedals on the front side. Although late to our collection, this amp is at the top of my let's play everything list! Thanks to AMS providing 0 interest - EzPay, fast & free shipping on all orders, 45 day return and their extended warranty it is possible to enjoy life through music right away, worry less. American Musical Supply Incorporated combines excellent product availability and exemplary customer service, making them an award winning team for customers like you and me who want to play, produce or learn music at a reasonable price... "NOW"!.

Product Review I like the Custom channel of this amp and it is more versatile than the standard Twin. Minor blemish was barely noticable and new Celestion speakers sound great. This amp was a bargain at any price and 3 months to pay is a bonus !!

Product Review I still am very perplexed what AMS blemished products are. I, like many others search high and low and come up scratching our heads. I didnt even know it came with a foot switch, it's got its manual still sealed, free lessons from fender.com and a valid 2 year warranty and a nice cover, a velcro canvas pouch inside the cabinet which I guess is extra tubes or wheel kit or something, the only thing I can guess is the small easily removed specks on the cover took 1 minute, I guess like some drool, just tiny (2) specks of nothing, which is normal the sound it makes and the volume that requires something they forgot (earplugs) can cause that or another type of stain...also normal lol maybe that's the markdown, 255 for drool, 393 for...other...lol all I can say is I see nothing wrong came sealed in factory plastic in a generic box packed so well with quality packing material it could survive a fall off a skid, it's the same heart pounding you get with new so feel free to gift these things! I deal with other online retailers but nobody has deals all the time like AMS, they rock just like this PERFECT Amp!

Great Amp-limited applications...

Product Review Cons: noise--buy an 'always on' shunt plug 1/4" for footswitch jack. It should square up any reverb/vibrato issues and may quiet a bit of any noise... -without silent switching tube drive/distortion the sound will be fender, any pedal will work to dirty up the fender clean... ---Pros: excellent diversity-I use a Radial hot shot passive A/BºY amp/channel switcher. I run 2 Sampler tape echoes as stacked delays in stereo with a MXR 10-band EQ for 12 dB of boost/cut to shape a slight distorted drive...this 'stereo' '68 twin reverb is a JC120 on steroids!---The effect is majestic with no ear fatigue. This is my home and gigging rig.

Mixed Feelings

Product Review I wanted to love this amp. I use to play a Fender Twin when I was a teenager, and I wanted another after years with a Marshall. It was great when I was in a rockabilly band, because it's clean sound is great, but to get any breakup requires volume that blows you off the stage. It's really tricky to cover a lot of genres and get good tones without blasting the amp. To add to my frustration, I've had issues with the amp working twice now. My circuit board fried once after I had it for about 3 months of limited play, and now my Custom channel quit working and I have to take it in for repair again. This will be a much better studio amp for what I do. Just ordered a Fender Hot Rod Deville, which is currently on the truck for delivery. I hope my frustrations with this amp with be over when I get it back. It can sound awesome.

Product Review I was only looking for bright '68 period sound... wasn't really influenced by the Fender description for the 'custom' channel. While playing around with this for awhile, and trying both channels to achieve different tones - all I can say is: "WOW!!!" Fender really put some thought into this... and some really nice touches too! It's like having two totally different amps in one enclosure. The custom 12" speakers really top off the whole package with an enhanced vintage tone.

Product Review Best fender amp ever made I've owned this amp for 6 months. This amp is like having two separate amps you can chain the custom channel and vintage channels hundreds of tonal options! Double the amp. It's the closet to vintage bassman sound I think It sounds clear and bolder. They kicked it out the park on this one. I've owned probably 20 fender amps in 45 years
