The Twin Reverb is the king of Fender blackface amps. The blackface Twin Reverb came originally with Jensen C12n, Oxford 12T6 or JBL d120f. The JBL D120 speaker has become synonymous with the iconic sound of Southern rock, thanks in large part to its use by legendary guitarists like Dickey Betts and Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers Band. However, the D120's influence extends far beyond this genre, as evidenced by its use by other iconic musicians, including Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Having two pairs of 6L6, the popular and traditional two-channel AB763 circuit design, a diode rectifier and enormous transformers (power & output), it offers tons of clean headroom and volume for unmiked gigs and really big stages. Where the other Fender amps break up at around 4 on the volume knob, the Twin stays clean up to almost 6 and will hold up against heavy drummers and bass players with clean notes sharp as a knife edge. This is exactly what the amp is made for, being played unmiked in in a gospel band in a 300-seat church every Sunday.

Allman, known for his soulful, expressive playing style, also relied on the D120 to achieve his signature tone. The D120's popularity among Southern rock musicians is not limited to the Allman Brothers Band. It has been used by countless other artists in the genre, including Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray, and Charlie Daniels.
