A Twin sounds better turned up and played pretty loud. IMO.
The older ones sound better than the newer ones.IMO
I am a fan of the Non-Master models.
Tubes also require maintenance if they are pushed and can be prohibitively expensive.
2 years is about average for a set of steel guitar power tubes for me.
For 6 strings they last a lot longer as some grittiness is a plus.

The easiest thing you can do to get a good steel sound from a Twin Reverb is to use the #2 input. It's padded so you don't overdrive the front end and gives a smoother feel.
Some like a .56k slope resistor which gives you a cleaner midrange. I have no idea how to do this. |

My Twin I bought used in 1999 - it is a January 1973 model. A few years ago I took it to a highly qualified tube amp guru and he "restored" it, handing me a ziplock bag full of capacitors, diodes and resistors that he replaced with new. The amp was transformed!
Before this took place I always played steel thru my Nashville 400 - but after the restoration, the Twin is all I use at home. I put the master volume on 10 and the channel volume on whatever your ears can take. In my studio, that's 1.5! Tone controls to suit. It gives me beautiful crystalline sound, that Fender sound!
