Are the re-issue Fender Twin Reverb amps good platforms for mods?
Not really, especially if you want to tinker frequently. These amps are built on PCBs in a fashion that does not allow cleaning of the pots, let alone quick rewirings or parts swapping. If you were considering an extensive modification, i.e., channel switching and a total gain restructuring, then the amp might be viable. In this case, you could lose the PCBs and rewire with home-made eyelet boards. Unless you are getting a fabulous deal on this amp, it might be wiser to pick up a silver-face Twin. These were better built.
