Just got one of these for really cheap (couple hundred). It's a 100W 2 x 12" twin reverb with a vibrato channel. Very weird-looking: vertical (as opposed to customary side-by-side, horizontal layout), odd silverface-ish plate with "Solid State" in red letters, no master volume (instead it has settings for "pop," "normal," and "C&W") or gain, just treble and bass. It's loud and has the typically dry, none-too-exciting tone associated with solid state amps, but man, I can't get over how strange this amp looks.

I have never heard anyone talk about this series amp at all. Fender seems to have disowned it completely, as it is not in their archives at all! Anyone have any information about it? Manuals? Other owners of this amp? Anyone?

"...Because transistors were new and unknown, there was lots of trial and error in early circuit designs.
...Fender`s first shot at solid-state amps was a disaster the likes of which would have killed a lesser company. Fender`s new CBS ownership twice released a complete series of SS amps; some shared the same names as their tube brothers.
...These amps were so poorly made and sounded so bad, they were gone before most players had a chance to say yecch!
...Solid state Twin reverb - I really don`t know what to say about this amp. I still can`t believe someone would do this...(picture)"

But, don`t worry - if you play some kind of "alternative" rock, this amp is "cool" looking and probably sounds weird enough!
