Difference between the Deluxe reverb and the Twin reverb?

[Cory_Dylan]

What's the difference besides 22w vs. 100w?

They seem to be the same amp, only the twin has 2 12s instead of 1 and it's more powerful. Say i put an extension cab under a deluxe reverb, do they sound the same tonewise? How are they different if they are?

The Twin use's 4 6L6s and normally a SS recitfier.
The Deluxe use's 2 6V6s and has a tube recitfier. The circuits are
simular somewhat, But tonally there a different beast. The shear power
of the Twin set's it apart. Running a 2 x 12 Cab w/t a deluxe will not
make it sound like a twin. The deluxe will breakup much sooner and
give you that sweet O.D. and ya get a little sag from the recitfier tube.
To get that sound from a Twin... Everybody in your zip code will know
your playing. :saeek:

Yeah, I don't think I've ever had my Twin past 4-4.5 on the dial. It's only an 85 watt one too.
