I use the amplifier for writing my music, and playing with friends that have the same level of playing.

It has a lot of power. Very clean sound. It's what I expected from a Fender Twin Reverb. Heavy in weight. If you're looking for the Vintage Fender sound this is it. If you're looking for lightweight and portable this is probably not the amp for you. I love it.

Great for shows. Cannot use for studio recordings. Brand new amp and it hums on level 1, especially when you use the reverb.

My second Twin. The Custom Twin is absolutely awesome. Crystal clear, ridiculous power, channels are well thought out. The Fender team has taken the best aspects and features of all the Twins, and put them in the custom. Love it!

This isn't a toy, this is a real working mans amp. I've had this amp for quite sometime now and I cannot say enough to compliment its tone, versatility, and even simplicity. I've used many amps, bought or given to me, and this one by far beats them all. I've been playing guitar a while now and have played in many states at many events for the time I hae been playing. I have searched for years for an amp to give me that old, vintage tone, that I know and love so well. This amp paired with my D'Angelico (Premier Series DC) modeled after a Gibson ES-335 with some modifications gives me that tone. I have had absolutely no trouble out of this amp, its been a real work horse for me and I couldn't be happier with any amp at any price point. Yes. as most people with this amp complain about, it is very heavy to move around a lot, but to me it is definitly worth it. Usually there is an issue of some kind I include in my reviews, but none are included in this review as I have had none with this amp or the service by means of which I got this amp. If your going to play music, as I say, you should do it right and not with junky gear. This amp is by no means junky and your doing it right with this amp. If you have the money and are looking for a real amp, this amp will serve its purpose. Is this amp for everybody? No. of course not, and I'm not saying that you shouldn't keep looking around for something different, but my experiences with this amp are wondeful and I wouldn't trade it for any other. I hope this review may help you into finding the perfect amp for you, for me however, I have alreafy found mine.

I bought this amp and was greatly disappointed. Although the tone is awesome, the amp delivers a very noticeable hiss even with nothing plugged in and the volume at 0. This makes it automatically unsuitable for playing delicate clean parts and for professional recording. Apparently this is a result of the modified negative bias. You would think that a company like Fender would have their game together and be able to produce a $1200+ amplifier without this kind of issues. I do not recommend this amp.
