Tonal profile

Fender's 180-watt Twin of the mid-to-late 1970s: six 6L6 power tubes driving two 12-inch speakers, the loudest and cleanest of the Twin line, with the scooped-mid Fender voicing and enormous headroom. It stays clean at almost any practical volume, so any grit comes from the guitar, a pedal or a tired tube, which is how Art Alexakis got the squealing, overheating sound of Everclear's World of Noise. Sold as the Super Twin and later as the Super Twin Reverb.
