Best Clean : Blackface or Deluxe

[Lonerock]

I wanted the Blackface module but I have a deal on a Deluxe... what are the main differences? I tried the Blackface once and I loved it.

I'm lookin for the typycal fender like clean tone (as the CAE 3+ clean)
for sparkle cleans, country style, funky licks...

Regards
Chris

I have the DLX and to be frank, it sounds nothing like the a Fender. I used to run both Fender Twin and Deluxe, so i'm well familiar with the sound of those.
My biggest complain for the DLX is the clean sound is ok, but it sounds really compressed, almost like if you're running a compressor or a gate in front of it. I prefer to hear my clean sound with some headroom for the note to breathe, sagging response on the notes.
I would say that it's good for a country type twang, since you want that clean compressed sound. Tight funky James Brown type things would be good as well.

Thanks tung,

I guess I should stick with the Blackface, cause I need a compressed sound but I need a full clean sound too so, I guess that the BF will be my best bet.

Are you pleased of you 2x12 MTS cab? Is that the one with Skeaker sim and 2xV30's?

I love the MTS cab. I think it's the key to getting good sounds from the RM100 head. Most guys on here seem to agree that V30s are the way to go with MTS stuff, the ones on mine are great. A lot of tones, sweet mids, harmonic overtones pops out nicely and it has real character and depth tonally. I'm so pleased with the sound, I really doon't use much effects anymore, even when I do, it's just for icing on the cake, it really does sound great straight into the amp.
I posted about the Mic Eliminator awhile back. To me, as a working musician, it's a godsend! If you got a chance, check out the tune "Something" on my site here:

I ran straight into the Mic Eliminator to my Mackie. The amp noise is simply because I'm using P90s on my Les Paul, but the signal is incredibly true to how the amp sounds.
