Fender Custom Shop 57 Twin Amp

www.ProGuitarShop.com - The Fender Custom Shop 57 Twin Amp brings back the wonders of the infamous 5E8A circuit. The incredible dynamic response and purity of tone of the 5E8A circuit are meticulously recreated in this Tweed Twin. The Tweed Twin is all hand wired point-to-point with high quality components and Mercury Magnetics transformers. This 40-watt Twin is powered by USA made Groove Tubes 6l6GE power tubes and rectified by two 5U4s bringing back the late 50s Fender dual rectifier design. This reduces sag for a tighter overdrive tone when pushed. Add all this up and the Fender Custom Shop 57 Twin produces sweet chimey top end with lots of sparkle and a focused overdrive sound with tons of harmonic overtones and incredible dynamic response. The Fender Custom Shop 57 Twin has unbeatable dynamic response and tonality. Forget the rest, go with the best and check out Andy's demo of the Fender Tweed Twin.

I just got this amp but could someone help me with it? My problem is that i cant get a good distorted sound without nearly killing my ears. in this video it seems like there is great distorted sound without turning it up too loud. I would just like to see how to get a distorted sound like there is in the video.

@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll - This video was recorded loudly. Andy was wearing earplugs, as a matter of fact. With this kind of amp you really have to turn it up to get a righteous, tube-saturation sound. You may check out the series of attenuators offered by Weber and other companies. A good attenuator can allow you to get power tube saturation at much more manageable levels. Hope that helps. Thanks!

haha Andy is so lucky getting to constantly play different amps, guitars ect. It's a guitarists dream job, well, besides becoming a famous artist..lol

@Beermaker2000 Because of musical trends. The overdriven sound wasn't really popular or musical sounding 'til then. The Stones & Yardbirds were (I think) the first to go down that road. The Who were close behind. Hendrix as well but he came slightly later. I'm probably missing a lot of others. Prior to that. music producers wanted a very squeaky clean sound (Beach Boys, Elvis, Early Beatles). The groups that followed paved the way for sounds like this.

@beermaker200 Because, most big name musicians didn't like tube breakup until the mid-60's.

You can install an attenuator, like a Swart, or Dr Z and lower the output volume, for play in an apartment, or on a stage, where you want to keep the monitor levels low.

Excellent review !!!

@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll

sounds like you need a 5e3 or another 12-15 watt amp.

Small amps are where it's at,you really need to work the power section to get those nice tonal dynamics,pushing the speaker helps too.

...you can always mic them for bigger gigs.

@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll ... you can not appreciate how loud andy is playing this amp. it is insanely loud. in fact most pgs demo videos are played very very loud so be careful about the tone you expect to get if you cant crank the amp in your home or practice space.

Out of the guitars you play, for amp demos, which is your favorite?

I've got a question: If these '57s could churn out such a badass roar, how come it took musicians until the mid-60s to start using it?
