Topic: Cranked Fender Twin
I had never heard a fully cranked Fender Twin. A little over a week ago I saw Junior Brown at the Bluebird in Bloomington, Indiana. If you have never seen Junior, check him out. He goes from Merle Travis to Hendrix to surf music effortlessly on his guit-steel (combination tele-bronco with a steel guitar.) Anyway he played a Fender Twin with nothing but a volume pedal and a lot of reverb. His Twin was hitting on all cylinders. When he dimed his volume pedal you could almost see his amp grow in size. The tone was huge and had a killer power tube drive going. Unfortunately, I was two rows back and I took most of it point blank. But man it sounded good. He was up and down with his volume so often that it was not near as punishing as it could have been. That kind of tone is glorious when you listen to a player that knows how to control it and use it dynamically.
