 BR> I wouldn't want a silverface *anything*!
       You and I are in agreement on that. :)
       My dad-in-law has a silverface Twin Reverb... As he plays through it, 
I see the paint on the walls peeling. :)
 BR> I've played through more Dual Showmans than you've ever seen.  Never
 BR> liked any of them.  They are way too clean and very sterile sounding.
 BR> I've never been much of a fan of Showman, Twin clean amps.  I like 
hings
 BR> to break up before they're set on 10.  If I was to ever get a Blackface
 BR> Fender it would be a Super or Pro Reverb.  More likely a Super with the
 BR> 4X10's.
       Clean, yes. Sterile, no. :)
       Besides, that's exactly what I wanted. A good clean tone. I have a 
processor for distortion, and it does break up with my Tele on the neck 
('bucker) and the FrankenStrat on the neck (Texas Special) at about 6-7. And 
through my new Peavey 412MS, it's VERY authoritative sounding with this great 
bass thud. :)        Besides, what's wrong with being clean? :) I've never 
been too big on the overdriven Marshall sound myself. The reason I got the 
amp is because it sounds great without distortion or even reverb, so I have a 
great base tone for adding effects to. :)
       But if I ever want something that distorts at low volumes, a Blues Jr. 
is definitely my first choice. :)
