From the listing

Seller's description

The 1961 Fender Twin Amp 6G8 in rough blonde tolex represents one of the most legendary pre-CBS Fender designs and a pivotal chapter in amplifier history.  Built during Leo Fender’s golden era, this Twin delivers somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 watts of shimmering cleans and rich overdrive through dual 12" speakers. The two-channel configuration includes individual volume, treble, and bass controls, with presence and the most incredible vibrato - features that defined early '60s Fender tone and differentiated these amps from their tweed predecessors.This example, clad in rare rough blonde tolex with oxblood grille cloth, captures the aesthetic of Fender’s transitional period, predating the blackface era while offering more headroom and flexibility than the tweed circuits. Known for their muscular clean tones and touch-sensitive breakup, early '60s Twins are beloved by players and collectors alike.In excellent condition for its age, this amp retains its vintage character while being serviced for reliable playability.The original cover is included.  Someone sewed a thin panel of something sturdy into the front of the cover to better protect the grille.The rare, original tremolo footswitch is included.The filter caps have been replaced.  I housed them inside the sleeves of the originals.  The bias caps and bypass caps were replaced in the same manner.  A gray, grounded power cable was installed.  The pots and tube sockets were cleaned, and the original tubes were tested.   The original parts are included with the amp.The tolex, grille, handle, knobs - everything except for the updated parts mentioned above are original and in spectacular condition.  The amp runs perfectly.  You're going to love it!Mahar's Vintage Guitars is a brick-and-mortar and web-based retailer.
