Fender Tone Master '59 Twin JB Edition, 120V

The Tone Master '59 Twin JB Edition is Joe Bonamassa's signature amp and the first artist model in Fender's Tone Master line. It is built on the late-'50s high-power tweed Twin and its 5F8-A circuit, the amp Bonamassa has toured and recorded with for years.

The original high-power Twin is far too loud for most rooms. This one has a six-position output selector on the back panel, from the full 85 watts down to half a watt, which makes it usable on a club stage, in the studio or at home. Two 12" Celestion JB85 NEO signature speakers, made for this amp, sit in a solid pine cabinet and keep the weight down.

Normal and Bright channels, two inputs each, with additions the original never had: convolution spring reverb on the top panel, an effects loop for time-based effects, a Vintage/Tight switch to firm up the low end, and a balanced XLR line out with three IR cab sims you can reconfigure in the Tone Master IR Manager app. It ships with a cover and a two-button footswitch.
