I use a DR REISSUE for everything. playing at home, playing live at clubs and playing outside for small venues (nobody wants to listen to me in any big venues and louder than I already play!!! LOL)
Seriously, my DRRI is not that much quieter than my old Mesa Mark IV was and it was rated at 85 Watts just like a twin.
The twin is nice, but it's friggin heavy and you will need to get it above 3 to start really letting the tubes breath and get decent tone. Under that it sounds a little weak and tinny to me.
I've played through a twin a few times with the band and they got mad at me every time! They love my DRRI however. IT cuts through the mix without muddying up anything and it's a fire breathing monster opened up about 8 or so. Most of the time when I gig (with a live drummer) I ma sitting on 4 or 5 on the volume knob and 7 -8 on the guitar's volume knob. I crank up the guitar for leads and all is well with the world.
