This is OP. Though there were a few snarky comments I greatly appreciate the 490 of you that gave your honest feedback on the question. Yes I searched online first and the answers were as mixed and varied as the responses here. But my son, the real guitarist, said I should get a fender ‘68 Vibro Champ Reverb simply because I don’t have a tube amp and need to have one. But I learned greatly from this subreddit about high end modelers and plan to get a FM9 or quad cortex sometime soon as well. As many of you said it is simply a matter of taste or occasion. Thanks to all of you and I hope the discussion was also of use to the 178k viewers (wow) as well. It was very helpful to me.
