I used to own a deluxe and played it all the time, now I have an awesome old AC30.
What BJFE's/stacks can transform my Vox when I get the urge or do I need a 6v6 type amp again?
HB with baby blue? Suggestions? Thought? Admonishments?
Thanks for any input. Sorry to bore anyone.

No thats actually a very good question and one nut thats not often cracked --- Getting a Fender to sound like a Vox is easier than the other way around

Id almost say youd be better off getting a Fender amp and an EGDM - then you have your fender cleans and your vox dirt nicely divided and stompable.....

Yes, is definitely a lot easier to get a blackface Fender and then use pedals to make that amp sound like a Vox, Hiwatt, Marshall etc, etc. It is a lot harder to get a Vox etc and make it sound like a Fender.

No. At least if you're talking a clean sound.
