My 4 piece has an upcoming 3 hour Christmas show. The venue holds maybe 50 people but it's hard to say with Covid how many will actually show. I have been rehearsing with the DRRI thinking that's the perfect amp for this venue. Yesterday it fritzed on me and obviously needs a visit to the amp doctor.
So I am seriously thinking of bringing my 'big rig' TRRI and large pedal board. The stage can handle it. I will keep the volume at about 2.5. I think that amp at low volume beats every other amp in my collection.
Stay tuned.

I've been using a blackface Twin for 20 yrs in any venue, never an issue of enough headroom and the theory that they don't sound as good unless dimed is bs.
I even use one @ home.

Twin Reverb? You can cozy right up to them.  |

As a follow up...I went with the Pro Reverb. The volume was somewhere about 2.5 and it worked just fine.

When I started gigging around 1970 I used my Twin Reverb for all my gigs. Most gigs were 2 to 2.5, rarely did I run it as high as 4.

I have no problem with a Twin at 2.5 in a small club. It's about enough to climb over un-miced drums and mix with the PA vocal. The issue is portability. I ended up taking my Pro Reverb for the simple reason that I had just reconfigured my pedalboard also and had practiced with it for a week before with a new pedalboard and had dialed in the tone. I didn't have enough time to really explore the Twin/Pedalboard combo.
But I found the Pro Reverb to be a heavy sucker. It's an original '66 vintage back in the day when it was actual wood cabinets which means it weighed the same as my modern day Reissue Twin.
Also I tested out the Pro Reverb and the Twin in stereo by running both out of the Boss DD7. Honestly I could not tell the huge difference in overall volume or tone.

I've been playing in bands since 1975. After all the years, I would say a Twin and a Tele would play about any gig you want to play.

i wonder if you can pull two tubes like on a marshall cutting the power in half I've been guilty of this as well. It does get a little quieter but not all that much and I believe you have to change some speaker wiring around to get the ohm rating where you want it to run that way. I did the deed once or twice but didn't really see much advantage. |

Like Jazz Master been serious using a vintage Twin for years. I just tote around with a luggage carrier. It's not my only amp, but it's definitely one of my go to "GETTER DONE AMPS"
