OK then, which one is "more" evil?Not sure
Well mine is now tuned to D standard, so it’s darker and more evil .. So in the night it’s just a touch of evil ha ha .
And I am no saint
Ya got me there Johnny, that tuning is reserved for ma SG brother.
Just got to change strings and do it up right.
Cheers

OP
Seriously, though...now begins the period of anxiousness as I wait to see that the package arrives safely.

Yup, so I hear, Bro Dono. There are many who confuse my Red Knob as they call the The Twins Evil Twins too. What speakers are in yours?
I wonder how close the circuitry and tube specs and transformers etc are between yours and mine. Mine has the Special Designs and as you can see, it has the 4 inputs 2 in each the clean and gain channels. Plus mine has a quarter power switch that takes it from a 100 watt amp to a 25 watt. Does yours have these Jensens in it?

Mine has Fender speakers (made by ?), and it’s based on the 1994 design. I bought it Christmas Eve 1998 new from GC. It also has the lower power switch.

Seems like they are pretty darn close (twins). I think mine was built in '89
From Wikipedia...
"Red Knob" Twin[edit]
The Twin Reverb II was replaced by The Twin, commonly referred to, though incorrectly as, the "Evil Twin" (Fender has only referred to the "TWIN AMP" or the '94 Twin Amp as being the "Evil Twin", not the red knob Twin) due to the addition of both a separate gain channel and a switchable overdrive on the clean, in 1987. It featured a dual output switch, allowing the user to select either 25 watts or 100 watts of output. The Twin was designed for maximum versatility for live or studio use with features like speaker jacks with selectable impedance, Low-z/XLR output, a "Power Amp Thru" feature that bypassed the preamp circuit and a buffered effects loop. Both clean and overdrive channels could be activated simultaneously and reverb could be turned on/off for each channel. Earlier Twin Reverb amps were known among musicians to be best suited for loud, "clean" tones. The "Red Knob Twin" was made until 1994; During 1994 it was slightly modified and the knobs were changed from red to black, keeping the same shape. It has since been succeeded by the first version "Twin Amps" of Fender's Protube line in 1995. This was the first in the series to use PCB (printed circuit boards) instead of PTP (point to point) wiring. All subsequent models and reissues have used PCBs.
1994- 2001 Twin Amp ('94 Twin Amp)[edit]
This version has Blackface cosmetics, was produced in USA between 1994 and 2001. On the front panel it says Twin Amp. It has two inputs, no vibrato, two channels with gain select on the floor pedal to give it two sounds per channel and an effects loop. It is 100 watts and also has a switch for a Low Power (25 Watt) mode. This model is referred to as the "Evil Twin".[14] In 2002 it was replaced by a new Pro Tube "Twin Amp" including tremolo.
