I don't believe that is correct.

The Red Knob Twin had channel switching, an effects loop, and
channel combining input jacks, in addition to separate channel
input jacks.

None of these features were present in the 70s Fender
Silverface Twins.

Fender may have a printed circuit board diagram available
for the Red Knob Twin. I would call their customer service.

The schematic for the Red Knob Twin has been widely
available for a number of years.

However, the Layout of the printed circuit board
has not been widely circulated.

As I indicated, Fender may have this in their Red Knob Twin
documentation.

The correct name for this amp is "The Twin."

Kagliostro posted exactly what Fender will send upon request.

Interesting that they went with a split load for the inverting output of the PI.

Can you hear the difference between a split load and
a non-split load plate resistor?
