Fender Twin Reverb
The Fender Twin Reverb is known for being heavy, loud, and very clean. If bright big clean tones are what you’re after, then look no further than the Twin Reverb. The Twin shares a lot with its smaller sibling the Deluxe Reverb, it has Spring Reverb and tube driven tremolo. This amp packs a heap of clean headroom due to its circuit design and 85 watts of tube power. It’s the king of clean so Players don't typically crank these for their overdrive, because frankly they're too loud. These amps can do just about anything, their volume controls can be dialed back for lower volume smaller venue gigs, but they really come alive around 4.

Where you can buy one:
The original Twin Reverb was released in 1963 and is still being built. Fender makes modern reissues in a couple configurations. They offer a 65 reissue and custom 68 reissue. Vintage amps can be found for reasonable prices comparatively to their newly made counterparts. This may be due to their weight and volume. The lower wattage amps are a bit more desired due to their usability. MojoTone also make a kit of the Twin Reverb.
