Fender Blues Jr. or Twin reverb?

I'm looking for a SRV/John Mayer tone. I'm not going to be gigging anytime soon so Wattage isn't too much of an issue.
I was thinking a Blues Jr.($600) with a Wampler Ecstasy Pedal.($200).
OR
Fender Twin Reverb by itself. ($1400)
I have a Gibson Custom shop ES-335 with classic '57 humbuckers.
Is the extra $600 worth it? Is there a Major difference in sound quality/clarity? Whick one would be better for bedroom playing and/or small gigs?
Thanks.

A twin sounds richer and has more adjustability. It is also really loud if you want to get a fat overdrive sound. And it's heavy. Buy the blues junior..Most players with twins barely turn them up. For big gigs if you have a good PA all you need is enough volume to fill the stage and the PA takes your tone out to the house.
Amps that are turned up a bit sound better than amps with the volume controls on 2 or 2-1/2. I quit hauling my twin around several years age. And twins are hard to use with pedals, a lot of distortion/overdrive pedals have to be fussed with sa lot to sound good out of a twin.

Kustomland: The Custom Car Photography of James Potter, 1955-1959 (Hardcover)


Kustomland: The Custom Car Photography of James Potter, 1955-1959 (Hardcover)


$24.95


In the late 1950s, as designers from the Big Three became more daring, their do-it-yourself counterparts in the custom-car world found that the new designs from Detroit worked exceptionally well with custom treatments like shaving, lowering, lakes pipes, and the ever-wilder custom painting of the dayaesthetics that would come to dominate this peak custom car era. Professional freelance photographer James Potter captured the epicenter of this landmark scene in what was then suburban Los Angeles. In this photographic history of that time and place, Thom Taylor presents the best of Potters collection depicting the cars of Kustomland. Two- and four-page features on two-dozen renowned customs from mild to radical feature not only Potters exemplary work, but brief capsule histories of the cars and their owners and captions detailing the cars features. Taylor also includes features on legendary custom painter Larry Watson and the Renegades car club, as well as a biography of Potter and a historic overview of Kustomland and the areas it encompassed.
