I found this on Youtube.



My '62 Twin 8 arrives Monday. I'm pretty excited about it.

These things are sweet I have had two or three of them all with the widow peak. Gbase has a widow peak twin twelve its awesome. Tell me this on all my twin 8's they had alot of headroom most the time i was crankin the volume pretty good on them before the tone really jumped on ya. Great sound though and damn they are sexy.

I've got a pair of old Twin 8s. Great amps. Here's Carlos Colina playing through an older model, a 120:

You know what Big R....This amp I'm on here is a "kinda" twin 8 that I fell in love with (we're still married too) in a funky Brooklyn music shop once. It is a twin eight chassis with a 12'' speaker, a boxy cab, and reverb and that is how it came originally too! A superlative mid sized amp.....

All those old Premier amps sound so cool for harp. The Twin 8 always looks the coolest though.

Bigd - Dennis, I love that. Superb tone and uber tasteful chops as always.
