Favoroite Amp for Country Twang

[roto1138]

I would be interested to hear people’s opinions of their favorite country guitar amp.

And I am Talking Jimmy Olander type Twang.

[roto1138]

Nobody has a favorite amp for country twang?

My favorite is a Fender Twin.

Anybody else?

It's kinda what your ear hears. I'm loving Dr.Z but I believe most tube amps can get after what you are looking for.

Howdy,

Red knob Twin or Red knob Super 112 from Fender. Fantastic clean tone.

I have a modded Epi valve junior. sounds fantastic with a Tele (though anything sounds good with a Tele)

[sonserve]

Yeah, my red knob Super 210 will get that twang thang.

Depends on the player. Blackface Fenders, Music Man and Peavey Classic 30 or 50 come to mind. Usually tubes with lots of headroom.

The classic twang thing is a big FEnder reverb amp. At some volume a Deluxe REverb does it, but at some point, it runs out of headroom. Twin REverbs don't run out of headroom, so they do it at any volume. I recently picked up a Super Twin Reverb with 180 watts....it will do twang even louder than a TWin REverb. LOL

I never new they made a 180 watt Super Reverb.

Deluxe Reverb = Overdrive AND Twang!

My stock DRRI fills my bill for my gigs. We have become quite the threesome, regardless of Tele or Les Paul.
If necessary, I have a Sennheiser amp mic to run it thru the PA.

Super TWIN REverb. Six 6L6's with the Ultralinear output transformer and 2X12's.

"Yeah, but then it doesn't go to 11, does it?"

I use a Roland Cube 60 or a modded HRD. Both are mic'd but I get twang.
Doesn't someone have on their personal quotes:
"Twang is in the fingers"?

1- Fender Super Reverb
2- Fender Twin Reverb
3- Peavey Classic 50 4X10
4- Lab Series Solid State
5- Late 1960's thru early 1970's Kustom Amps

I personally get it from a Pro Reverb, but the classic answer has to be a Twin.

+1 on Wally's Super Twin Reverb.I had the non-reverb version and it was just great for six-string and pedal.After buying a then-new '79ish Music Man 210-65 and A/B'ing it with the Super Twin,I sold the ST,although if a divorce hadn't been in the works I'd have kept it.The Music Man has been the best guitar amp I've ever had.Twang,power,and tougher than an anvil.Although it was replaced onstage(but kept at home)in turn by a Boogie Mark 3,a Music Man 212-150,a Line 6 Ax2-212,and a Bassman LTD,it's always managed to sneak back onstage and unseat the upstarts.If I were still running a guitar rig alongside my steel rig,the Music Man and the Bassman would probably alternate.

OTOH as a GAS survivor,I'd certainly be susceptible if a '57 RI Twin or a Vicky 80212 were to whisper some come-hither sweet nothings.

for the old school sound it's hard to beat a tweed bassman

[Steve G]

Anything with a reasonable amount of treble response and at least a 12" speaker, then its up to you!

[BigMike]

Both my amps give me all the twang I need:

Mesa Boogie Nomad 55
Musicman RP65

[wildschwein]

Peavey Transtube Studio Pro 112, Jensen Mod speaker and compressor in front of the clean channel. Rips!!!
