Fender® `65 Twin Reverb®

Your "new" ‘65 Twin Reverb® amplifier is living proof of the quality and longevity of Fender® amplifier designs. Over the years, many musicians have found the versatile Twin Reverb a perfect match for guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, vocals, accordion, and the electric violin among others. Featuring REVERB and VIBRATO, this two-channel amplifier has been used on thousands of recordings and countless live performances since 1954 when the first version appeared on the music scene.

Your new ‘65 Twin Reverb is a faithful reproduction of an original 1965 Twin Reverb model AB 763. Every effort has been made to keep the circuitry exactly like the original. For improved reliability and manufacturing efficiency, a printed circuit board for the components is used in place of the original

phenolic parts panel. The power and output transformers used in the 85-watt ‘65 Twin Reverb are built to the original specifications and although some components used in this re-issue amplifier are different in size and shape from the earlier version, the component values are identical. The speakers in the ‘65 Twin Reverb are duplicates of the original Jensen 12-inch "Specially Designed for Fender" speakers used for many years during the 1960s.

It is suggested you read this manual thoroughly to understand all the features and functions of the amplifier. The purchase of a Fender amplifier will provide years of musical enjoyment and the ‘65 Twin Reverb helps keep the Fender legacy going strong.

Tube Adjustments

The tube BALANCE and BIAS of your ‘65 Twin Reverb is adjusted at the factory and should provide years of service before needing attention. If the sound quality of the amp has degraded noticeably and HUM BALANCE and BIAS adjustments fail to restore sound quality, the tubes are worn and need replacement. Note that pre-amplifier tubes last longer than output tubes. If you are not sure about the condition of your tubes or the following procedures, take your amplifier to an authorized Fender Service Center.

A.HUM BALANCE ADJUSTMENT - This adjustment minimizes the hum heard at the speakers due to tube filament imbalance. Balance is usually adjusted only when tubes have been replaced. •Adjustment Instructions: Turn the amplifier ON for 2 minutes with nothing plugged into any of the INPUTS. Rotate the VIBRATO CHANNEL volume, middle, and bass knobs fully clockwise and the treble knob fully counter-clockwise. Rotate ALL of the

NORMALCHANNEL knobs fully counter-clockwise. Switch OFF the REVERB and VIBRATO effects. Then insert a slotted screwdriver into the BALANCE ADJUSTMENT control, (see “A” in FIG. 1) and rotate back and forth to the position with the least amount of hum.

 

B. BIAS ADJUSTMENT - This adjustment only should be made if the output tubes are

FIG. 1

replaced with tubes not identical to the original tubes and should be adjusted only by an

authorized Fender Service Center.

Replace tubes with identical Fender® original equipment only (see SPECIFICATIONS below). Tube location is printed on the tube label, inside the cabinet.
