Fender CyberTwin opinions

[jeff300]

Hey y'all...

I have the chance to get a CyberTwin for virtually nothing. Any opinions on this amp?

I mostly play in my (large) apartment. Is this thing gonna be way too much amp for me? Am I going to get decent sound out of it if I can't raise the volume past 1? Right now I play 65W combos and I rarely raise the clean volume past 3 and the crunchy volume past 1.

How are the FX? The amp models?

An inquiring mind wants to know...

i tried one at the local gc and i thought it sounded pretty good.
the high gain sounds don't sound as good as the line 6 products, but they are still pretty decent.
the clean and lower gain stuff sound excellent, what you would expect of fender.
the motorized knobs are pretty cool but i wonder if they are durable.
if you can get one of these at a good price, i would jump on it.

i like it a lot. wouldn't mind having one. to me the high gain sounds are fine (but i'm not a shredder!!)...if it's cheap enough get it.

The Cyber Twin is a fine classic rock, blues, country amp. It's not your hard rock/metal amp. The effects are nice and the floorboard is a tank. My only complaint: it's too bright at high volumes and lacks depth & bass. If using the CyberTwin live, don't crank it and point it at your audience. It will pierce right through their eardrums.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I pretty much agree with your assessment. The modellings of the Fender classic "blues" amps are pretty good, but everything else is not that impressive. The moving knobs are kinda gizmo-ey and are sure to break down the road.

A friend of my cousin has one. I messed around with it a little last summer, and I couldn't seem to get any really high gain sounds out of it. It seemed like it was lacking... though, maybe it's because I didn't play with it long enough. It did sound pretty good to me, just didn't seem to pack enough gain.
