"I used the amps that I’ve had and used forever: a 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb, which is my main amp, and a blackface 1960s Fender Twin Reverb that I’ve used on almost every record I’ve done. A lot of guitar sounds on the album came from an old HH Musician transistor amplifier, which all the British new wave bands used in the late 1970s and sounds crazy good. I also used my old tweed Bassman from the ’50s."
Around 11:25 Neal says him and Santana both used Fender Twins turned up.
This 1968 Fender Twin Reverb combo amp was really important to get the typical BB King sound. In the source you can see BB King using a similar '65 Fender Twin Reverb while jamming alongside Eric Clapton who was using the same amp at the time.
In this YouTube video, although a bit difficult, you can see @ 8:52 two Fender Super Sonic Twin.
“At home I use a 1966 Twin Reverb, I wish I had one over in England. But for this tour I’m using the reissue… it gives a little more top-end to my sound, so I’ll try to use more of it for my solos. It’s another ingredient in the soup. A pinch of Fender, some Marshall, a bit of Hiwatt…”
In this YouTube video, you can see Finneas O'Connell's Blackface Fender Twin Reverb at 0:30 seconds. The amplifier is sitting in the lower left hand side of the screen, and is slightly out of frame, but you can see "Twin Reverb" written on the right of the black front panel, slightly covered up by a sticker.
Here is Frank's amp onstage while playing with LS Dunes in Brooklyn, 10.22.24
Unsure if this is a vintage or a 65 reissue.
This combo appears on the tracks King Of The Blues and Texas Strut on the 1990 album Still Got The Blues (Virgin Records CDV 2612), and was used extensively on various other sessions on that album, but replaced on further sessions. Also used on the live recording of Blues For Greeny (Warner Music Vision 0630 13691-3) at the Shepherds Bush Empire, 27/4/1995, as part of the guitar rig employed on that performance. The internal speakers were disconnected and the amplifier connected to a Marshall 1960B 4 x 12 cabinet. Much of the reverb effect heard on the recordings came from this amplifier.
In a video titled "Paul Gilbert - Rig Rundown - Italy Tour 2025" by Planet Guitar, Paul Gilbert is shown using the Fender Twin Reverb (1967) amplifier. In the video, Gilbert provides a detailed walkthrough of his rig, explicitly highlighting the use of this specific amplifier.
In a video, Eric Johnson's gear includes a pair of 1960s Fender Blackface Twin Reverb amplifiers. A snapshot from the video at the 01:59 timestamp shows the JBL D120F speakers with metal-dome dust caps in the Twin Reverb on the right. Additionally, another 1960s Blackface Twin Reverb is visible, mounted in a Showman Reverb cabinet atop a basketweave Marshall cab.
At 3:48 in the video, Joe Duplantier is shown to have a Fender Twin Reverb combo amp in his Silver Cord Studio.
