I thought it just went to evil twin and the UL models, but much like the Mesa Coliseum we got this as well!I didn't even know they made such an animal
That is very different from the Super Twin.The only thing I know about those amps is from:
Fender "EVIL TWIN" Dual Showman
I did some googling and as far as I can tell, the 6C10 (discontinued) is for the reverb model. The one I found is the regular one and from what I saw of the tube chart, doesnt require it.That is very different from the Super Twin.
@Budda , some of the Super Twin's use a 6C10 tube which is very hard to find and expensive. It's something you may want to check up on before you buy.
Other than that, see what you thinnk of the sound. Lot's of guys don't like it, many others do. Depends on your application.
No one buys a twin for distortionI bought one new in 1980 because it was the biggest loudest amp in the store, and because Ted Nugent used them. It was a turd. I would stay away. Cleans were good but the distortion channel was awful. Way too heavy and loud and not anywhere near as good as a plain old twin, if heavy and loud is what you are after.
I should mention, mine used to intermittently cut out on me and no tech could ever figure it out because it would always work fine when I took it in. Once I was playing and there was a large blue flash and smell of burning electronics. No idea what happened, but I had it retubed and sold it for $400 in the 90's. The guts are a real bowl of spaghetti too.No one buys a twin for distortion. Headroom is the name of the game. I'll definitely be trying it out first, as I have a suspicion the caps need to be done.
@StevieMac @keithb7 or anyone else - can we confirm that the non-reverb version does *not* have the 6C10?
Precisely what Im looking for. Hoping the seller gets back to me about trying it out.I had one. It was very heavy, very loud and very clean.
Correct. The non-reverb version is very similar to the Studio Bass, at least as far as the chassis.can we confirm that the non-reverb version does *not* have the 6C10?
You might end up really liking it. A speaker swap did wonders for mine.Precisely what Im looking for. Hoping the seller gets back to me about trying it out.
This one has the square magnet speakers - I think it came with two different types depending on if it had reverb or not?You might end up really liking it. A speaker swap did wonders for mine.
