Naaahh.. not a twin??? I think that's about the most overrated amp ever. I let myself buy one up to 3 times.. and everytime I had one it was gone within a week. Its 80 lbs dead weight and it's very hard to cut through the mix, even if it was 100W ... boring. But that's my opinion. Somr would lynch me for saying this aloud..
I'd do a 5F6 for that rhodes.. or better , a 100W plexi!!!

I have a huge studio recording but still 100W plexi isn't too loud? Maybe a 5F6?

A 5f6 is really loud. But at least you can get some dirt out of it. A twin wouldn't sound better than a decent PA

Finally added the speakers

Here a new discussion, those are Celestion G12M GreenBack 25W. Made in China. Would you agree are the same as the one UK made? I believe they are since i compared the material and the sound from a real Bluesbreaker (reissue) they sound and feel and look the same.
