The Fender Twin Reverb Head is a legendary 100-watt tube amplifier delivering pristine clean tone with legendary reverb circuits. Its dual channels and EL84 power tubes provide responsive character for clean and light blues applications. The Twin Reverb Head remains the standard for professional studio and live use.
The Magnatone Varsity Reverb Spanish Mission shares the exact same 15-watt Class A circuit as other Varsity Reverb colorways, running 2x12AX7, a 12DW7, 2xEL84 power tubes, and a GZ34 rectifier through a custom 12-inch Magnatone speaker, with the same four-spring long-pan reverb and wide-range Bass/Treble EQ. The Spanish Mission finish applies a distinctive cabinet covering and aesthetic inspired by Spanish Mission-style design, one of several cosmetic options Magnatone offers on this current-production 15-watt combo.
