Anderton's got them so close that in a blind test demo, most people could not reliably tell which was which.

I didn't like any of the sounds they made, but that's more likely down to how they were recorded than the amps themselves.
E.) those who have actually played them think they sound really good, and to quote @chrisv ”pretty bloody close”
That said, I preferred the original, in some examples I thought they sounded very close, but the differences were there in particularly in the examples with the Tube Screamer.
I suppose the caveat is that I don’t generally like high-headroom, big bottle amps and love what happens when you turn a Deluxe Reverb up past four, so these amps are very much home turf. I’ll probably get a Tone Master Princeton Reverb if they decide to release one as it would be incredibly convenient for home/rehearsals, even small gigs.
For me, I think the bottom line is that if I only have one Fender style amp I’m happier with the valve version. A second would be fair game for a TM and I’d probably be happier leaving the house with the TM too.
When your actually in the room though andf your listening to the pure audio coming out the speakers it's a lot easier to tell and the higher the volume the easier it generally is. These days everything is digital, you can't get away from it as even the desk is digital now when playing live ..which is fine. But for me starting with a pre analog source better than nothing, even if it does get processed by the desk etc.
I’m still very keen to get a TMDR.
(also slightly disappointed that with all their clever switching kit they didn’t make an effort to get them set as close as possible then do a blind test)
