I really like both of them, but do you think it makes that big of a difference that the vibrolux has 2 10in speakers rather than the twins 2 12s?

personally, i've noticed that speakers make a HUGE difference. 10s seem more glassy to me than 12s, which are punchy.

Are you talking about the reissue amps? I recently sold my Vibrolux reissue. If you're going for the SRV/JM/Dumble overdrive, this amp WILL NOT do it. The
overdrive isn't smooth like the other Fender amps. It's more of a punk rock overdrive sound. I've talked to a lot of people about this and
they've all agreed that the RI Vibrolux is a big miss compared to the old one. I highly reccomend the Twin Reverb. I also used to own one of those. Again,
if you want the whole SRV/JM thing, this amp has too much headroom to get that smooth overdriven tone at a good volume (which is why I sold it). Spend your
money on a Blues Jr. NOS.

go in a store and try these: handwired Vox AC30CC2X, a Blues Deluxe and a Fender Deluxe Reverb. they're all in the 1000-2000 price range and have an
amazing clean sound.

A Blues Deluxe is even cheaper than that, I think. It's in the same price range of the Hot Rod Deluxe, isn't it?
I'm brazilian, if you'd like to know. Sorry for any english mistakes!

Are you talking about the new Blues Deluxe with the tweed covering? If so, I agree it's a great sounding amp, but just to warn you, it is VERY compressed.
It might actually be the most compressing amp that Fender makes.

actually, my teacher's is a '94 w/ tweed. probably makes no difference. it still would be compressed. I suggest you check out the thread about that
blue '65 deluxe reverb with blue covering and blue amp jewel. totally channeling the JM TR vibe look-wise. I'd see John using one if he liked it!

John has way too much disposable income to waste his time on a reissue Deluxe Reverb.

^^maybe if it did his taxes, posted tweets for him, and had a espresso maker built into it, he would. the guys at TR should consider these upgrades considering
the prices they demand

Yep, that's a very good idea.
