Hi guys, on P04 guitar effects patch (twangster) which Fender amp(s) is that modeling?

I figure there may be more than one Fender with that nick-name, please fill me in on all ya can, so I can be up to speed with "what are/is a twangster" Fender amp(s).

I always assumed - probably wrongly! - that the 'twanster' patch was a simulation of a telecaster's characteristic country twang. If anyone knows better, I'd love to hear... !

Never heard that nickname referring to any actual Fender amp.  I'm with Greeny on this that its probably referring to just the twangy like tele tone.

I agree with Greeny and the others. The name Twangster isn't referring to the amp model. It's referring to the twangy sound that's popular in country music, especially with a Fender Telecaster guitar. The CLEAN preamp effect used in this preset patch models the Fender Twin Reverb amplifier. See this message for other amp models.

I agree with Greeny and the others too!  Because he and they are correct, it is a reference to a tele's sound played through a Fender amp, and the BR's effect P04 does use the twin for this modeling.

Thank's to you guys, it's all been covered, much appreciated.
