Re: Should I buy a Tweaker?
What specifically are you looking for the tweaker to do that the classic 30 won't?
You'll give up a lil volume and some headroom, and some dynamics may be lost because of how touch sensitive EL84s are.
What you'll gain are a wider range of amp voicings, more breakup and warmth at lower volumes. So it's really going to come down to "do you need the headroom of 30W?" and also "do you like the tweaker's voicings?"

Re: Should I buy a Tweaker?
I owned a Classic 50. I've never owned or played a Classic 30. I also owned a Tweaker. For me, there was NO comparison. I was able to get so many great and different tones out of the Tweaker. I wasn't able to get any "great" tones out of the Classic (to my ears). It was a very dark, ho-hum amp. The Tweaker's got American blackface tones, American semi-scooped tones, British chime, and British roar. For my taste, the Tweaker was a far superior amp. But that's me...

If you're just looking for a bedroom amp, the Tweaker is perfect.

Cool! I love the tweaker! I also have a classic 30 and I changed tubes and speaker and improved it alot, but it still doesnt have the amount of tones and gain the tweaker does..

Yeah, the cleans are beautiful.. I use it for my accoustic mostly. The gain channel was classic rock at best. I get more gain with the mods, but still doesnt crunch like a tweaker. I got a pretty cool brown tone from the tweaker too..
