Hi guys and gals, i i've been thinking about buying an additional one twelve cab for my blues deluxe. But i had a brainwave about upgrading to a fender twin. Preferably one that i can knock down to 25w with onboard tremolo. But from what i've read they weigh an absolute ton. I used to honk...

Now i know these sort of questions can lead to a whole myriad of possible answers. Im desperately trying to hone in to a particular sound. I know 99% of it is in the fingers, nuances etc. Trouble is i dont want to spend the rest of my life chasing that elusive piece of gear! :P Im not...
