i just picked up a 25 year old Fender Red Knob Twin amp and absolutely love it. It’s incredible and versatile. I’m now selling my year old Hot Rod Deluxe lll and my Deville lll . They are just noise compared to this amplifier.

Paul Skinner,

Bought a new red knob 27 years ago and it has survived many gigs. As for performance and sound it is delightful

Ray s,

I don’t see a square one, but there is a ceramic rectangular resistor, 1.2K ohm 3W on the power supply board. I’m looking at a 1993 model.

Ken,

I’m trying to find out what the value of a resistor is the big square one where the power chord comes in mine burnt out , any help be great , there’s nothing marked on the resistor thanks

Trent,

I have owned one for several years now and used it often. I also own a Marshal JCM900 half stack and a Mesa Boogie Mark IIB. It’s tough to beat the Marshall but the Twin is easier to move around (casters) and works more gigs for me. I really have enjoyed it.

acolom,
