1981 Fender Twin Reverb Silverface Amp w/ Jensen Speakers, Recapped, Footswitch

Here’s a powerhouse from Fender’s ultralinear era: the 1981 Silverface Twin Reverb. Built around the AB568/UL circuit with ultralinear transformers, this Twin delivers massive clean headroom and a more hi-fi take on the classic Fender tone. Expect tight low end, scooped mids, and glassy highs that stay articulate even at stage volumes. Whether you’re running pedals, synths, or just chasing pristine cleans, this circuit was designed for players who need clarity and volume without compromise.

Recently recapped and serviced, this amp is ready for another lifetime of work. It’s loaded with a pair of Jensen C12/70 ceramic speakers that deliver punchy lows, focused mids, and crisp highs, even when pushed hard. The onboard reverb and vibrato are lush and musical, controlled via the original two-button footswitch. The push-pull gain boost on the vibrato channel won’t turn this Twin into a high-gain machine, but it adds warmth and grit when you need a little edge.

Cosmetically, this Twin shows the marks of a working amp—light tolex lifting, patina on the faceplate, and some hardware wear—but nothing that affects performance. It’s solid, reliable, and road-ready, complete with its original casters for easy transport.

Key Features:

  • 1981 Fender Silverface Twin Reverb (Ultralinear circuit)
  • Freshly recapped & serviced for reliable operation
  • Dual Jensen C12/70 ceramic speakers for punchy, defined tone
  • Classic Fender reverb & vibrato w/ included original 2-button footswitch
  • Push-pull gain boost adds grit without losing clean character
  • Massive headroom—perfect for pedals, synths, or pure clean tone
  • Original casters & parts included

Condition:

This Twin has been maintained as a working player’s amp. It shows normal cosmetic wear for its age—light tolex lift, hardware rust, and patina—but remains fully functional, freshly serviced, and sounding incredible. A ready-to-gig Silverface Twin with big clean tone and ultralinear muscle.
