It Will Get Loud: Joe Bonamassa Discusses Fender's New '59 Twin-Amp | Guitar World

guitarworld.com

The Fender '59 Twin-Amp JB Edition successfully revives the legendary tones of its 1959 predecessor. Joe Bonamassa praises it as a faithful reissue, emphasizing its authentic sound that mirrors the original, with no unnecessary enhancements. Featuring a robust 80-watt output, hand-wired circuit, and custom Celestion speakers, it delivers iconic tones reminiscent of rock legends. The amp's dynamic range allows for clean to roaring sounds, but its volume might be overwhelming for some. Overall, this amp is lauded for its craftsmanship and historical resonance, making it a prime choice for enthusiasts of classic sounds.

According to 2021 Premier Guitar interview, a couple of Bonamassa's Twin amps were used for "Time Clocks" sessions.

For the Time Clocks sessions, Joe used a much leaner gear selection than you might expect, especially given his cavernous collection. "In New York City, you go with what you got. There were only three amps. I had a [JB signature] high-powered Twin sent from our inventory that's still in the spare bedroom in the apartment.
