Hey everybody!

I think I'm obsesseb with this twin reverb. Somebody told me that Jimi Hendrix played "Have you ever been (to electric ladyland)" song with this twin reverb.

Is this real? I have noticed too when I heard the record carefully. Or it is jus kind of my imagination?

Thanks..

Hi Ali, The Twin Reverb is a monster. The recording studios of the day could not handle a Marshall stack, so alot of Fender amps were used. Hendrix's classic studio tone often came from a blackface amp useing GE 6L6 cleartop tubes. The Twin would qualify. The cool thing about the amp is its all tube driven reverb the send and return from the reverb pan are both tube circuits,
Just a bit of info Clapton and Duane Allman recorded Layla on Fender Champs

Bassman was used on the album also. Mike

Hey gratz,

I've just checked out "the making of electric ladyland. Eddie kramer said that on that song backward guitar was on a hammond organ "leslie" cabinet and the front guitar was on a fender cabinet wich has vibrato switch in it.

I think that Twin is similar to this cabinet because of the fender vibrato effect

Thanks Pal...

Watch the Concert For George dvd, there is a music store's worth of Fender guitars and amps. The players aren't to shabby either.

Cheers,
John.E

He also used a Bassman for either Voodoo Chile or Voodoo Child (Slight Return).

Now I think about Hey Joe, The Wind Cries Mary, Little Wing, and I think "no way that's a stack." Probably isn't. Sounds too Fender-y.

yes , page 302 The SOUL OF TONE ,Aspen Pittman of Groove tubes is quoted"Theres a real missconception aboutwhat he was using in thestudio simply because everyone saw him onstage with Marshalls. Studios just werent readyfor the volume you saw on stage in the 60s." It also says the Twin Reverb was his mainstay in 1965 66.
I think anyone who has not seen this book should make the effort

Not much of a stack is it. Mike

Looks like a little latter than 65 66 as well but I wasnt there so I have to trust those who were.

I have the same poster in my room! I think it was from a gig because. I saw this place on dvd and he was playing voodoo chile and I think its a live record.

Hendrix did use a Twin in the studio. One that I know of was verified and auctioned off. Why do people think he was exclusive to Marshall amps and Fender guitars? It's not a crime to use different equipment.
