Well a friend of mine decided he was going to a local music shop and get the new Orange Tiny Terror head. Well i decided as well to go with him and try some amps out because i was in the market anyway. Well they happened to have a Twin there, so i grabbed a 62' Vintage Hot Rod reissue strat (which is an awesome guitar more on that later). Plugged in it and WOW i just couldn't put it down, and i was playing stuff that i never even played before...it just pulls out your creativeness...me and my friend switched up and the Tiny Terror sounded good but i was DRAWN to the Twin.

Well after about an hour at the store i couldn't leave it...the owner said it was $1100 so i said i'll take it for $1000...he says $1025 i say deal and have him throw in a couple packs of strings too. But the combination of that strat and this amp was unreal. I loved it so much i'm swapping out my pickups now for the ones that are in the 62'. There the 57/62 vintage pickups and they sound just awesome. Real bitty and clean the overall sound which i described to my fiance was "creamy." It seems that the Twin doesn't like my humbucker strat. I believe this amp is best played through with a single coil pickup guitar.

Just wanted to share my story and i love it...i don't think its as insanely heavy as everyone says its just bulky...and lugging it down stairs SUCKS...but like i read before its a small price to pay to sound your best! Check it out!

i recommend to everyone on here to play a 62' vintage hot rod strat if they have the chance...its a great guitar if i had the money i would've bought that as well.

There ain't much that's better than a Blackface Twin with a Stratocaster soul!
