Evil twin is the 94 twin

John Keyser,

Actually very heavy, but as my guitar guru said: “when you plug you will say: oh well, God exists! Any other solution may be lighter or more comfortable but it’s not a twin”

BeBopBeCool,

It’s very heavy. A freaking boulder. The clean channel is a dream and the dirty channel clips so nicely and it capable of some great overdrive. Mine buzzes when the drive and or treble is set higher than it wants to be. Pretty annoying especially since I ironically used this “Evil Twin” beast in church for 11 years. I’ll never sell it although I’m looking at a 68 reissue Deluxe Reverb or a Vox AC 15 at the moment for most gigging which are both about half the weight.

James DiLorenzo,

The amp weighs about a ton.The sound is brutal and (somehow) very interesting. I bought it for gigs (battered,old) but transportation is a disaster.

Thomas,

I finally found a machine good enough for my es 175 at high volumes! This amp is great!

BeBopBeCool,
