WOW!!!! 

I have a Tech 21 Blonde and Liverpool pedal and love them.  Playing the Blonde through my Blues Deluxe ( with Jensen speaker) provides classic Fender tones that the amp cant. 

The Liverpool does a great job in turning my amp into a VOX.  Classic AC15 and AC30 sounds spring forth.  If you see these pedals in your travels give them a try.

Going through the effects loop made a positive difference in the sound and was closer to what you would expect from the original amps.
