After thinning my herd of Deluxe Reverbs and deciding I wanted to stay in Marshall territory as the main gigging amps....
You have impeccable taste. Leave those clean F*nder amps for the singing cowboys.

I thought about the amps that Ive used over the past 10 years which got the most compliments. ANd of all the modded Fenders, TWs, and production amps Ive used in that time my 18 watt head got the most kudos from people including a couple of for real music stars.
Today was maiden voyage in front of 1000 people or so in two church services - with a choir and full band. This amp rocked! I have to tell you - it sounded great - I ran the TMB channel into a Hotplate at 12db attn for stage volume and when needed I used a hotcake pedal for extra push - but didn't need that too much - and along with great sound came the inspiration to play great. It was run thru a Marshall 2x12 cab with a Vintage 30 and Eminence Redcoat speaker. The guitar was a texas american anniv strat with a split coil humbucker on the bridge. Tubes were vintage Mullard makes and two Siemans EL84s - but it sounded good with the JJ EL84s and EI 12AX7s too. I just like old tubes better - personal choice.
You just can't beat a good Marshall 18W!

And I'm with you on the NOS tubes as well, Bro.
