I saw the review of these in Guitarist Magazine as regards new items
at the NAMM show. I had a Twin Reverb in the 70's and it was a great
sound, but as you say they are pretty expensive for a good one, plus
they are soooo heavy to carry about and now probably unreliable as
well.
I am going to have a look at these pedals and try one out when I can
find one in stock locally. It's the start of a new series of "Classic
Equipment" pedals - they are doing a Bassman pedal as well..... I
think the best thing is that all you need is a really clean crisp
(probably transistor/solid state) amp then let the pedal do its stuff.
I know it's not the real thing, but at the worst you can move the
pedal on to someone else and only drop a few pounds on the deal.
