If I need more than my 22 watt '66 Deluxe Reverb can provide, I just bring two Deluxe Reverbs.

Guess what tho? It's never happened. I've brought two amps and I like playing through two amps but I've never actually needed the second amp.

I always replace the stock speaker with a great speaker though.

UK made Celestions are what I prefer and I've found that a great Celestion (like the G12H30...) not only makes a Deluxe Reverb sound awesome: it also makes a 22 watt amp sound like it's picked up another 10 or 20 watts!

The Celestions I use are pretty efficient speakers. They don't call them LOUDspeakers for nothing.
