Answers:

I hate to say this, but here's the facts. A 100-watt amp usually only sounds good when it's run loud, because that warms up the tubes and makes it break up properly. The problem is that the only time you can run a 100-watt amp loud enough to make it sound good is if you're onstage at Live Earth playing to a stadium full of people. For most applications a 100-watt tube amp is way, way, way too much power. For people who play out regularly in clubs - big clubs - or people who play stadiums, 100 watts is great. For people who jam at home or with their friends, or play in small clubs, 50 watts is the most you'll ever need. And quite honestly, 50 watts can be too much. A lot of players use small amps in the studio. Personally I have never had the need to use an amp that was more than 40 watts, ever. I usually mike the amp and run the mike through the PA if I need to get any louder. I hate to say this but you might be better off swapping the Twin for something smaller like a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe or a Hot Rod DeVille. The DeVille is a 60 watt, 4 x 10 amp like the old Fender Bassman and sounds pretty good. The Hot Rod Deluxe is 40 watts, and is definitely one of the good Fender amps to check out. You can get a good warm tone at a reasonable volume and when cranked up it sounds very cool, without blowing out your eardrums or getting the neighbors to call the police.

Good luck.
