Tube Amp Question

fordman · 08-25-2003, 04:01 AM

Ive been playing on non-tube amps for about a year now and have grown tired of the sound and crappy effects.I was told that if I wanted a full sound I should use a tube amp.Well I did some shopping and found the only one in my price range is the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe.Seems like a good amp but I dont know a good tube amp from a bad one.Is this a decent amp for a intermediate player?

Also I read some of the comments on Harmony Central and alot of people said that it doesnt have much for distortion.Is this something that can be fixed by using pedals?I have a few like a DS-1 dist.,a flanger and a chorus.Im going to get a Cry baby very soon.Will I get a decent tone from this amp with a combo of these pedals? Thanks!!
