Fender 3965 Twin Reverb Owners Manual - Page 6

Fender® `65 Twin Reverb® Your "new" '65 Twin Reverb® amplifier is living proof of the quality and longevity of Fender® amplifier designs. Over the years, many musicians have found the versatile Twin Reverb a perfect match for guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, vocals, accordion, and the electric violin among others. Featuring REVERB and VIBRATO, this two-channel amplifier has been used on thousands of recordings and countless live performances since 1954 when the first version appeared on the music scene. Your new '65 Twin Reverb is a faithful reproduction of an original 1965 Twin Reverb model AB 763. Every effort has been made to keep the circuitry exactly like the original. For improved reliability and manufacturing efficiency, a printed circuit board for the components is used in place of the original phenolic parts panel. The power and output transformers used in the 85-watt '65 Twin Reverb are built to the original specifications and although some components used in this re-issue amplifier are different in size and shape from the earlier version, the component values are identical. The speakers in the '65 Twin Reverb are duplicates of the original Jensen 12-inch "Specially Designed for Fender" speakers used for many years during the 1960s. It is suggested you read this manual thoroughly to understand all the features and functions of the amplifier. The purchase of a Fender amplifier will provide years of musical enjoyment and the '65 Twin Reverb helps keep the Fender legacy going strong.
