Ive been looking to upgrade my amplifier. Im currently using a Peavey Valveking 112. However, I really been looking into buying a new amp.
I like the deluxe, but 22 watts wont serve my needs, so i been debating about a Super Reverb or a Twin. Anyone have any insight to which is better?

Twin, because that's the one I use.

Jokes aside, if you want >85w, go for the Twin, otherwise, Super Reverb.

Depends on how loud you need to be, and speaker preference, both amps share the same characteristics. The super reverb is 45 watts, and a 4x10 combo. The twin reverb 100 watts and a 2x12 combo. If cost is an issue traynor makes some awesome blackface type circuits, although those are quite a bit harder to find, the yrm-1 is pretty much a super reverb equivalent, and the ygl-3 is a twin equivalent. The traynors are somewhat grittier as they run on el34's/6ca7's, compared to fenders 6L6's.

I love my traynor yrm-1. Plus kurt ballou and jack black love there yrm-1's, so I'd say they're good amps, but if you can spring for the fenders they are very nice amps also, I know I'd be happy with any of these amps.

Right now, I'd personally prefer 45watt with 4x10 speakers, but again: It just boils down to what suits your taste/style best. Imo there's not a whole lot of other tonal differences between the two

So there's no "better" in this case, especially not without knowing your style of music or your tone preference or whatever

Super 6.

Best part is that if you can find one they're usually cheap.

The size of a small refrigerator though.

One notable difference is that the Super Reverb can get a bit more breakup at an earlier (re: non ear-splitting) volume level.

I think the Super Reverb is a more practical gigging amp but if you want lots of clean volume and a little more bass response, then go with the Twin Reverb.

I remember those, a friend of mine used to gig one, and kept it bungied to a dolly at all times, I used to laugh about the presentation, along with everyone else, but definatly understood his thought process, they're pretty heavy.

Never heard Jack Black referenced in a convo about amps, but ok.

Yah I happen to like Tenacious D, seen them live years back, and like any gear head, was checking out jack blacks rig, noticed a traynor head, and a traynor combo. Didnt even know what a traynor was until that point. Was sitting back watching Saving Silverman a few months back and noticed the same traynors being utilized for there neil diamond cover band. Jack was playing a traynor yrm 1 4x10, was amusing to me considering I had recently purchased the head version.

Quad Reverb!!!

Twin. Becos you can never get that UNFORGIVING LOUD 3D CLEAN from any pedals. Ever.
Not even Super Reverb.

Is it ok if I rub my body against your rig? Or is it frowned upon?

What Ive learned, if you rub your body against a persons rig when they are not looking, its not like it ever happened lol

I've never seen Sapporo in a normal sized can

I have a super reverb. I love it like I suppose some would love their children, except I loathe children and I'm contemplating a vasectomy.....
