The DRRI stays clean for a lot longer than you would expect. Especially true when playing a single coil guitar through it. You won't have to worry about being underpowered.

The problem I have with the DRRI is the price. A couple years ago they were priced at $800 (and could be had for even less). Now they are $950 and I don't consider that a very good pricepoint for this amp. Once you get into the $1K ballpark, I think there are some better built, better sounding amps out there.

So if you're thinking about spending $950 on a new reissue vs $700 on a SFTR... you'll get more for your $$ from the Twin.
