The Twin 100 - the modern Twin

This was the most advanced form of the Twin around 2010. It had an FX loop, was wider than the 64 and 68 model, and weighed 10 more pounds. Fender was nice enough to put casters on it. A true hernia machine and sounded GREAT. I recorded the 2012 single "Crash and Burn" with one.
