The Fender Twin is a guitar amplifier made by Fender. It was introduced in 1952, two years before Fender began selling Stratocaster electric guitars. The amps are known for their characteristically clean tone.
The Twin has seen a number of revisions since its introduction, both internal and external, with its designs sometimes varying greatly from one year to the next. Several variations on the amp's original design have been produced through the years, including the Twin Reverb, the Twin Reverb II, and the Twin Reverb '65 Reissue. The Cyber Twin, which combined a tube amp with a computerized processor, was introduced in January 2001.
Many notable musicians have used Fender Twin amplifiers, including The Beatles, (1968 Twin Reverb amps using the AC568 circuit), Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones, Jerry Garcia and Eric Johnson.

Famous quotes containing the word twin:
“We live under continual threat of two equally fearful, but seemingly opposed, destinies: unremitting banality and inconceivable terror. It is fantasy, served out in large rations by the popular arts, which allows most people to cope with these twin specters.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
