JBL's were the only factory-installed speaker option for a Fender amp through the '60s and most of the '70s, though dealers could (and would) install anything a customer desired. The standard speaker for a Twin Reverb was Oxford's 12T6 which had all the sonic nuances of a Sara Lee pie tin. In late '69 a Utah speaker of similar performance was added to Fender's inventory and in the mid/late '70s (when the 135-watt Ultra-Linear Twin Reverb was introduced) a Rola speaker was often used. The UL amps were still available with optional JBL speakers until 1979 when they were supplanted by the PS12 made by Cetec-Gauss.

Everyone in our area had Altec Lansing 12" speakers in their Twins and Pros and Bandmasters in the '60's. Our local music store guy swore by 'em!
