What do you guys think of The Twin or Evil Twin 100w 212 made in USA ?

I've herd of people not liking The Twin (Red knob Version)
It sounds great to me. I never played through a 60s or 70s fender amp
But to me it sounds better than any of the new fender amps in the
$1,000 to 1,700s that I played at guitar center ...

Would you guys agree??

The red knob "Evil" Twin didn't come out until 1987. It's a Paul Rivera designed amp. It was only called the "Evil Twin" because it actually had a gain setting and Twins were known for being ultra clean amps. I already had a SF Twin, but I would have bought one. If I remember correctly and I might be wrong, I think it had a switch that could knock it down to 25 watts. As far as I know they were pretty reliable amps. The ones I've used over the years from rental places were great sounding amps.

The important thing is if you like it, go for it. It may need a cap job if it hasn't had one already and they're heavy. I too would take one over anything new. It's just easier to repair.
