So today I went to my local music vendor, planning on purchasing a blues jr, but they were out of stock. So the salesmen directed me to a fender tweed deluxe... It may just be me, but I didn't care for it all that much. It seemed to dirty (I may have just not learned how to coax all the sounds out of it), as I like to play in the vein of explosions in the sky, to the mars volta. When I use distortion I want it to still be clear (ie l'via l'via l'viaquez). So basically the softer side of explosions to their more intense side.
While the salesmen left I tried the small super champ, and was surprised to actually like the sound more. Not particularly the distortion (I'll use my effects for that), but the clean tone. The deville was really nice, but I obviously can't pay the 1000+... I was wondering if there was a nicer amp that wasn't too much expensive that still had those sounds. I still haven't played the blues jr, so does it have that sound? Last question is about the actual tubes... I've heard many people say they changed the tubes, and that it greatly improved the quality. Any suggestions of which I should go with? Thank you all so much for your time!
