Oh. Usual rules apply then i.e. try a few out. May go for the Mustang head. Cheers!
Thus far it has "cut the mustard" and I have had comments on how good it sounds (from band members and punters), plus it also cuts through the mix very well (we are a twin guitar band).
Originally bought it as a back up but thought I would give it a try on one of the gigs. Since then I have taken both amps and have always used the orange.
Drive channel on its own is very usable, but in some situations I push it with a Zombie Klone or a Suhr Riot.
Both channels take pedals really well but excels when the amp is on the edge of breakup.
Makes a nice change not having to worry about valve failure............
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
It's certainly not pedantry to say that 'solid-state' amps are different animals to modelling amps, despite the obvious point that modelling amps contain solid state electronics. As Drew said.
To say they're the same is a bit like saying that a bridge and a fork are the same because they're both made of metal.
If the OP bought a Bandit expecting it to sound like a Mustang, I'm pretty sure he would be disappointed. (Not knocking Bandits of course, just they don't sound the same).
The pedantry might be in the terminology (as always) rather than the actuality. Pedantically, we should refer to 'non-modelling solid-state amps' maybe? Perhaps the pedantry is pointing out the incorrect or inconsistent use of words, when in reality usage of same is well understood.

In the case of the OP @Guitararse wether he would be getting the best out of it with his existing cab.Particularly brought to mind as @ICBM posted this and IIRC his experiment with the Blackstar ID's was that you pretty much need to stick to the intended ID cabs.
(Sorry to be a cock, but...)
Of course the Mustang is solid state! It's also a digital modeller. The distinction is between ANALOGUE solid state circuits like a Bandit and digital modelling solid state like the Mustang. You could in theory build a digital modeller using valves instead of transistors, which would then not be solid state, but it would be the size of a house and drain most of the national grid, and would no doubt be far too slow to run the modelling software... but that's not the point.
