Want some input on moving from a Fender Mustang GTX 100 to a Deluxe Reverb
I play in a band that's been picking up steam recently, been playing less bar gigs and more proper music venues with good sound, and I've been recently trying to move my rig from a fender mustang with my built in pedal effects and amp modeling to the real version of what I'm using on the mustang. Love the sound of the deluxe reverb, and have been told it would best suit my playing by a couple people now.
Somehow though my mustang has gotten me a lot of compliments, I honestly thought it was a piece of junk for a long while but I'm consistently getting compliments on my tone. My clean sound is a '65 twin modeling and my distorted tone is a marshall stack, they sound kinda close but its pretty clearly a digital amp to my ears and the guitar doesn't feel like it reacts the same way it does through other solid state/tube amps.
Buddy let me borrow his vox ac15 to try and it's just too warm, clean isnt clean enough and the reverb is nothing comparable to the deluxe reverb. Plus tube amps are heavy, I don't hear enough of a difference between a tube and tonemaster deluxe reverb so I'd probably get the tonemaster just so i can carry it around easier. Probably want to get tube screamers for my distorted tone through it.
Is it worth getting a new amp to go for a better sound, or should I stick with the mustang?
