1979 Fender Twin Reverb 135-Watt Silverface Tube Amplifier

Original CTS Speakers • Original Schumacher Transformers • Excellent Condition

For sale is a 1979 Fender Twin Reverb 135-Watt Silverface tube combo amplifier in excellent condition.

This amp retains its original matching CTS 12" speakers (both dated 15th week of 1979) and original Schumacher transformers, making it a highly original example of Fender's legendary ultra-linear Twin Reverb era.

The cabinet has been recovered in fresh black tolex and some new official Fender hardware, giving it a clean appearance while maintaining its vintage character.

Features

  • 135-Watt RMS output
  • Original matched CTS 12" speakers
  • Original Schumacher transformers
  • Original Fender spring reverb tank, tilt back legs, grill cloth, and foot pedal
  • Fender vibrato/tremolo
  • Master volume with pull boost
  • New black tolex covering, chassis traps, handle, corner protectors, and casters
  • New Fender amp cover included
  • Fully functional and ready to play

Condition

The amp is in excellent overall condition and sounds exactly as a great Twin Reverb should: huge clean headroom, sparkling highs, rich lows, and plenty of volume for stage, studio, or pedal platforms.  This Twin Reverb retains its original matching CTS speakers and original Schumacher transformers. It is equipped with Sovtek 6L6GB power tubes and is fully functional with strong output, lush spring reverb, and classic Fender vibrato. The foot switch RCA connectors were replaced due to age-related wear.  The “roach” for the vibrato was also replaced in the amp head.  These repairs were performed to restore reliable operation. The reverb and vibrato features function properly.

All controls function properly, and the amp has been well cared for throughout its life.

Why Buy a Twin Reverb?

The late-'70s 135-Watt Twin Reverb is one of the loudest, cleanest tube amplifiers Fender ever produced. It remains a favorite among players looking for:

  • Pristine clean tones
  • Outstanding pedal compatibility
  • Classic Fender reverb and tremolo
  • Exceptional reliability

Whether you're a collector, gigging musician, or studio player, this Twin delivers the classic Fender sound in a highly original package.

Shipping is available at the buyer’s expense.  However, local pickup is available as well.

Seller note: Original matching CTS speakers and original transformers are becoming increasingly difficult to find together in these amps, making this a particularly desirable player-grade vintage Twin Reverb.
