I bought a fender (the twin pro) 94-95 off ebay when it arrived it had been damaged.. so i refused. I am heartbroke amp was like new .. Now here i go again.. I've been using mesa nomad 45/1-12 combo for the last 6 years with a old EV SRO but just not enough clean headroom. I like to use the tube gain for my solo stuff .. I need help .. I found a ( the twin) but it has the brown back speakers in it.. The one that had to be returned had blue back speakers. Are there a difference in the sound of say a 94 vs 2002.. I also want to know why the later (the twin) has a 4 Button footswitch and the earlier model only 3 ? I want to know what's what before i spend several hundred hard earned dollars. I am so glad there is help for old players like me who lose sleep when the enter the '' The Buying a new/old amp zone"... Thanks.. Sincerley, Peace.

The color of the speaker label is absolutely of no import -- I'm pretty sure both amps use the Eminence 100-watt driver (Fender P/N 037617) as OEM.

The blue Back speaker Has a much bigger magnet, I was told the twin with the brown speakers were the cheaper version of the twin. So you are telling me that no matter what year (the twin) I buy from 94-2007 their all made the same type wood ? From the same USA factory,Wired, reverb, Ect.. Except perhaps Cheaper factory speakers.. thanks

I make no such assertion, sir.
