Does anyone ever really use the bright channels though?

Out of curiosity, have you found with your Twin that it's somewhat unforgiving when using lower quality pedals? I find that mine is really noisy with cheaper pedals, but just fine with better quality boxes. I mean, cheaper pedals are kinda noisy, but I find the Twin really doesn't get along with low quality noise that's less apparent on many other amps.

Hmmm. Well, It sounds fantastic with a Rat and Dano TOD. When I tried running a Behringer sans-amp clone thing through it, it sounded like ass. Maybe?

I think it's because the GDI is an amp modeler. Amp modelers usually sound bad on actual amps unless their speaker sims can be disabled ala POD.

As to whether Twin or Super, I'd go with Super. I've played a Super before for a good part of a year and some Twins in that same year as well. All I can say is that the breakup of the Super, which comes earlier, is a welcome sight as compared to the Twin's your-ears-must-bleed-first.

I love my twin. That said, if I had to do over again I'd probably get something more like a Super.

So now I guess its down to a Super or a Vibrolux

I had a super and I sold it. Personally, I like the Twins.
