Does anyone know if there were any significant changes that occurred to the Fender Twin Reverb between 1968 and 1969.... and between 1969 and 1970?

Thanks!

That is a very good question. You know that Fender amps call Silverface with aluminium trim are real Blackface, these are built in 1968

IMO, between 1968 and 1970 you must look at the circuit to see what you get.

Retro could have told you, but after losing 10 years of pictures to Photobucket, he bailed. We miss him.
