I've not tried one....YET... but I fully intend to. I own an original 1969 Twin Reverb, as well as an original 1968 BandMaster, and have owned a 1968 Deluxe Reverb. I think it was
@paparaptor that said put some wheels and a trailer tongue on these dadgum things to move them, and he ain't half wrong. I never cared when I was 17, but now at sixty-whatever, I do.
I NEVER take them along on the few occasions that I play out anymore.
11 Rack does a good job for that, and so does my Mustang GT 200. I have an
11 Rack that lives in the studio full time too. The XLR out of the GT 200 is also very usable and the amp is easily mic'd. PERSONALLY I prefer the DI approach of the Mustang and
11 Rack in my studio, but I do have isolation boxes that I build so I could crank the TR or BM and get the breakup that I or a client would want.
From the videos alone, the tones are extremely usable and the weight makes them extremely portable. These two amps were engineered to sound like their valve cousins, and nothing more, which could be a love hate thing. I love that there are no menus, no apps, etc. to get your tone. Just like back in the day, you got your tone from the FEW pedals that you had, the amp, your guitar and your hands.
Twist a knob, flip a switch, and adjust to taste and you get a Twin or a Deluxe sound, depending upon which amp you are using of course. No you don't get the choice of a Vox, or a Marshall, or whatever else, but that isn't what these amps job is.
Again, PERSONALLY, I am going to be looking long and hard at the Twin Reverb Tone Master. I've always like the versatility of the original Twin Reverb, but it could be overpowering at times. (I remember a few times I was asked to point the amp backwards or to put it under the stage and they would mic it just to help control the SPL to the house, and maintain tone. OD pedals did help, but still.....
I'd half consider shedding myself of those heavy tube amps, but they have a sentimental value to me, even if I were to never play through them again.
