The Fender ’57 Twin-Amp is a glorious throwback to the golden age of American tube tone, delivering wide, harmonically rich sound with unmistakable authority. Its 40 watts of 6L6-powered warmth bloom through dual alnico 12" speakers, offering huge headroom, touch-sensitive response, and that unmistakable tweed sparkle. With simple, interactive controls and dual channels, it rewards nuance and dynamics rather than presets and excess. Built in the USA with a solid pine cabinet and tube rectification, this Twin-Amp feels alive, dimensional, and deeply musical—an iconic, long-term investment for players who value authenticity, feel, and timeless Fender character.
The '57 Twin-Amp™ is one of the most collectible amps of all time, with harmonically rich clean tones that are great for vintage rock, blues and country. Or it can be cranked up for full, sophisticated distortion. This all-tube combo amp has hand-wired circuitry; even reproducing the 1955-'57 edition "low powered" 5E8A circuit, which puts 40 watts into a pair of 12" alnico-magnet speakers. Power comes from dual GT6L6 output tubes and Fender's seldom-seen mid-'50s dual rectifier arrangement (using 5U4 rectifier tubes). With this design, power amp compression ("sag") is more subtle than in many Fender® tweed designs. Also features genuine lacquered tweed covering, vintage-style brown/gold grille cloth, top leather strap handle and fitted cover.
With an illustrious history dating back to 1946, Fender has touched and transformed music worldwide and in nearly every genre: rock ‘n’ roll, country and western, jazz, rhythm and blues and many others. Everyone from beginners and hobbyists to the world’s most acclaimed artists and performers have used Fender instruments and amps, in the process making the company not only a revered music industry name, but also a cultural icon. It is our vision to continue championing THE SPIRIT OF ROCK-N-ROLL® throughout the world and our mission to exceed the expectations of music enthusiasts worldwide.
