Good pick for your first amp, and it may be all you'll ever need. I own the tube versions of your favorites (Princeton Reverb and Deluxe Reverb) and they are indeed fabulous sounding amps. They are tubes tho with no line out, heavier, and 2x the price. Where tubes amps shine is when you can open them up and let them breathe a little, which is louder than you'd want to play with anyone else home (or at all if you live in an apartment). They also provide juicy, complex tones when overdriven (solid state amps don't have preamp tubes to overdrive) If you're mostly a clean player and/or want to record, then your present amp is great. Enjoy the new world of electrics!
