I have used mine through my Fender Blues De-Ville amp as well. I don't A/B switch because .....
......I'm lazy. I don't want to haul the amp, PA and everything necessary to switch between systems & I usually play one "feel" when I play so it hasn't been a necessary thing for me. When running through the amp I use a pedal board for effects but I haven't felt the need with the T5. It is a great guitar all by itself.
