Well, we know that Umastele has the following requirements:

Also, I do like the edge of break up tone for my solos, and its also important for me to have nice clean sounds as we play funk, rock, heavy rock, jazz and soul songs.

Since he's stated the need for an amp that can play both clean and loud as well, a Twin moves to the top of the list of amps that are even remotely portable. Since it looks like he already might have found one:


What he now needs is advice from people who are currently using Twins and how to best get that "edge of breakup" tone when he needs it. I listed some ideas in an earlier post, but I haven't used a twin regularly in over 15 years, so I'm 100% certain that someone out there has a more current solution that I do.

Another one I didn't list is the two-amp solution. The last time I played with a band that had horns I used my Bandmaster Reverb feeding a Fender 4 x 12" cab for rhythm and a silverface Deluxe Reverb for solos. I just used a Morley A-B box to switch between the two. It's a lot of stuff to drag around but a very organic sounding solution.

At any rate: Twin users, give the soon-to-be Twin owner some advice on how to get the best out of it.
