Comments: Beginning in early 1966 Fender offered JBL D-120F Speakers as an ''premium upgrade'' to the Twin Reverb. Some early Twin Reverbs have tube charts specifying 7355 power tubes. It is unclear if any shipped in this configuration.

Great information here. The Serial # on mine is A 23397. Is that a ’65. Great stuff.

Terrance Dwyer,

I need some help identifying a twin reverb I just purchased. It has a production code of DL on the sticker showing the tube layout inside and that puts it at 1954, December. It is a blackface model and I’m trying to find more information on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Robert,

I recently acquired a June, 1967 blackface Twin Reverb with factory JBLs in it. They have the longer mounting bolts that Fender had to use on the factory JBL Twins. The longer studs were necessary to get though the thicker frames of the D120F. The amp is in beautiful condition and sounds amazing.

ET Music,

I have a 1964 twin reverb with tube replacement chart indicating 7355 power tubes. Amp still has original 7355 tubes shipped from factory.

Dan Hall,
