Topic: Marshall or Fender

Hello, I would like to buy a new amp to get closer to Joe Bonamassa's Tone.  I'm hesitating between the Fender Blues Deluxe and Marshall Jubilee 2525h.  His tone that I prefer and that of his last lives.  My pedals include an MXR Fet Driver, a Way Huge Overrated Special and a Tube Screamer.  Do you think I absolutely need a Jubilee or will the Fender with these pedals be better?

I also have à Marshall SV20h plexi.

Re: Marshall or Fender

JB blends his amps a lot
Blues Deluxe might break up more than his Twin reverb
Settings are usually just before breakup,
He runs one dry a lot too
Also if you use a Fender it’s a lot cleaner so you have to push it harder (which JB on stage would) but will be harder for you outside of a stage

Get an ABY pedal run either both sv20/Marshall or the sv20/Fender
