I thought I had the ultimate Jam rig…but that was before I took the New Fender Cyber-Twin SE home. I used to have a wonderful older Marshall 80 watt 2×12 cabinet amp plugged into a 4×12 Marshall half stack. Along with this setup I had a pedal board with various stomp boxes for effects, all patched thru an inline tuner ending through a volume pedal for more control. As many of you know there can be a lot of patch cords involved with this setup and where there are multiple cords and multiple effects and lots of guitar cables there are bound to be problems. Bad cables and loose connections and lugging around all that equipment was just getting very tiresome for me so I sold all that gear and purchased the Cyber-Twin SE online through a large well known music superstore. The pedal board was not available anywhere online so I made that purchase through my local Fender dealer.
After a few minutes of reading the manuals I simply hooked up the pedal board with one supplied cable and plugged in my trusty Strat with another cable and voila’ I was rocking with the channel 1 factory preset called Stadium Rock. What a fantastic introduction to a truly new tech amplifier. The Cyber-Twin SE is an upgraded version of the classic Cyber-Twin,which went from the latest “gee-whiz” gadget to the “go to” toolbox for thousands of guitarists worldwide. Professional guitarists and hobbyists alike use the Cyber-Twin to create great tones they hear in their heads….without the agony of hauling multiple amps and a big bag of effects devices.
I had 50 amp models and 200 presets available at the touch of my foot with the well constructed pedal board and programming the board was a very simple process. The two 12AX7 pre amp tubes plus analog solid state preamp gave me very realistic recreations of classic and modern circuts while I probed deep into the amp to tweak my sound. The 2 x 65 Watt (stereo) Dyna-Touch Power Amp was toneful,dynamic and powerful. I am very ,very pleased with this modern yet classic sounding amplifier and I don’t have to worry anymore about lugging all that equipment around and the possibility of cable failure. I am inclined to think that this is the last amplifier i”ll ever need.
