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 video you can see B.B. King playing trough a fender super reverb.
