G's Bob Goffstein walks us through his latest review on the Fender Custom '57 Twin-Amp. This reissue is based on the '57 manufactured by Fender's Custom Shop, but features a few changes thrown in versatility's sake. The transformers and choke were built by Mercury Magnetics Company. The '57 includes four Sovtek 12AX7WCs, relabeled Groove Tubes 12AX7R, two Groove Tubes-6L6GE and two Electro Harmonix 5U4GB rectifiers. The speakers are 12" Eminence Alnicos designed by Ted Weber of Weber VST. In addition, this '57 reissue comes with separate Bright and Normal channels, each with its own preamp circuit, separate Volume controls and two jacks, followed by Treble, Bass and Presence controls that are common to both channels.

The volume goes to 12? 12 is one more than 11 and you know how loud 11 is! "It's one louder, itn't it?"

Is this seriously a review? He seems like a nice guy, somebody's dad on ludes but should not be demoing anything. No real knowledge, no presentation skills, no chops and playing an unbelievably inferior guitar. WTF You do fender a serious disservice. Especially for a superior $3k+ amp. I don't want ot sound to harsh but if you expect credibility get serious.

I agree that this gentleman dosn't know how to use this amp to get a good tone out of it. The 57 Twin is a great amp that sounds absolutley beautiful dead stock. This video shouldn't sway you trying one out yourself.

Check out Proguitar Shop's demo. It's much better than this!

and you have to remember to tweeds tend to be more Bassy sounding as well

That's because he is using a p-94 pickup which aren't that impressive. Try with regular Single Coil like Customer Shop 69 Pickups.

Sorry, but that is crappy tone, it is farty or blatty; it borders between clean and dirty but not in a musical way- I felt the same when I heard the Cream reuinon concerts and Clapton was using two of these amps- I love Fender amps, but give me the tweed Deluxe or a blackace Super Reverb!

Why does Premier use a guy that 1. doesn't understand how to use the amp to get a great blues tone? and 2. plays so poorly? Sorry, I expected more.
