I have found after "hot rodding" Fender amps - Tremolux and Twin that I liked them better
before.  What would this modification you propose be.  I also would not recommend the 
Twin Reverb as a harp amp.  The 12" speakers generally feedback more than a rig with 
10" speakers, but I do have a single 12" Quantum speaker which I used to use with 
a Tremolux head which sounded pretty good.  In general, I think you will be happier with 
a Fender amp left stock.
