Fender '68 Custom Twin Reverb

collapse expand iconDescription

The Fender '68 Custom Twin Reverb 85W 2x12 tube guitar combo amp pays tribute to the iconic late-'60s "silverface" Twin Reverb while enhancing its tone and performance. Fender has hand-wired the tube sockets and added custom-made Schumacher transformers—just like the originals. They've also reduced the negative feedback for greater touch sensitivity and harmonic richness. The '68 Custom Twin Reverb's dual 12" Celestion G12V-70 speakers deliver a distinctively punchy, rock-and-roll flavor. This amp is ideal for players seeking a versatile backline amp with a vintage vibe and modern enhancements.

Enhanced Twin Reverb Tone

The '68 Custom Twin Reverb provides 85W of power through two 12" Celestion G12V-70 speakers for full, articulate tone. Fender has modified the "custom" channel to feature a '50s tweed Bassman tone circuit for more low mids and faster breakup. The reduced negative feedback also allows the amp to break up sooner when overdriven. Whether clean or pushed, this amp delivers a dynamic range of classic Fender tones with richer harmonics.

Vintage-Inspired Look with Modern Performance

The '68 Custom Twin Reverb has the iconic silverface aesthetic of late-'60s Fender amps but with components optimized for today's players. In addition to the hand-wired tube sockets and custom transformers, Fender has given both channels reverb and tremolo controls for enhanced versatility. The shared tremolo on both channels can also be blended for more tonal options using an A/B/Y box. These features, combined with the quicker breakup and touch sensitivity, make this a thoroughly modern amp with vintage-inspired style.

Versatility for Stage and Studio

With a dynamic range of tones, reverb, tremolo, and an effects loop, the '68 Custom Twin Reverb is an incredibly versatile amp. Its 85 watts of power allows for full, clean headroom at gigging volumes. The amp also works well in the studio, where engineers can take full advantage of its harmonic richness and sensitivity. Whether on stage or recording, the '68 Custom Twin Reverb lets guitarists craft their signature sound.
