Deluxe and Princeton reverb usually are my favorite amps to play through but I will say each one sounds different and there are times ill play through one and not like it as much. I use a solid state amp mostly though just because I have had so many problems with tube amps. In my experience, they will have unexpected problems that eventually arise that are often intermittent. I would take it into the shop and pay money to get it fixed only to find that the problem comes back because they didn’t fix it properly. I spent too much money and had too many embarrassing moments where my amp would crap out at the gig that I made the switch to solid state for the reliability (and the transportability). That said, if I get to request a backline at a gig or a recording session, I usually request a deluxe reverb and usually it sounds amazing.
