I have a Red-Knob version, and it’s way too much for me. Anybody looking for one of these?
Actually; the Snakeskin/White Snakeskin/Red Cobra tolex models were Limited Editions available in 1989.
Hey all.. I own a snake skin THE TWIN, with black knobs. I’m thinking it’s a 1994. I have a question regarding these amps. Were there any other changes made to these “THE TWIN” , other than the knob color? I toured a pair of these back in the 90’s and love them. This one has just been gone over by a great tech here in Tampa, and is sounding incredible. Any info regarding any aspect of these amps, would be great.. Thanks…
I have the black knob The Twin it is the answer to all the needs of my amplification ,my amp is carpet with normal Fender metallic silver cloth ! It has channels and reverbs and in/out capabilities due to the addition of both a separate gain channel and a switchable overdrive on the clean, in 1987. It featured a dual output switch, allowing the user to select either 25 watts or 100 watts of output. The Twin was designed for maximum versatility for live or studio use with features like speaker jacks with selectable impedance, Low-z/XLR output, a “Power Amp Thru” feature that bypassed the preamp circuit and a buffered effects loop. Both clean and overdrive channels could be activated simultaneously and reverb could be turned on/off for each channel. Earlier Twin Reverb amps were known among musicians to be best suited for loud, “clean” tones. The “Red Knob Twin” was made until 1994; During 1994 it was slghtly modified and the knobs were changed from red to black, keeping the same
You can remove tubes 1 and 4 (outside) or 2 and 3 (inside). I did and I can turn it up past 3 now. Sounds great. Just be sure to check ohms and bias/balance after. I would recommend bringing it to a tech if this is your first time
