Ghost of strings, I am along those same lines for the most part, I only use the GT alone for cleans with some fx and light distortion from the onboard Ts9 pedal they call the green box. Its not bad at all, but like you mentioned having it micd right is prob big in its sounding solid. I also have gotten some compliments from fellow players and those have been at shows where Im either micd or the amp doesn't get turned up more then halfway, I think it loses it character the higher it gets to its max. As Ive stated before I think "high-gain" sound is where the amp struggles a little to sound authentic. Its why I got the small orange 35rt to ABY with the GT I bough a radial switchbone which with both amps on clean an the GT doin the Fx sounds great, but I use the oranges dirty channel for high gain songs, leads, an crunchy rhythms. Having both amps on through Y setting "one dirty on clean" even offers a lot more really full sound. I think adding the orange amp along with a highly functional ABY had helped a ton with the overall sound in either case. just A/B or the Y function. I love the little orange crush series I think they are great and hard to believe not a tubed amp.

I just need to decide do I want to trust the GT with the "house amps" or "big dog amps" most common in your traveling bar band rigs. I think along with the crush an the fact I only use it for cleans similar to you I think I should be okay for awhile till I can afford like mesa-boogie or something extravagant that can do cleans an give me the punch I like. I kinda like this ABY thing other then the extra work of lugging to amps around "even though mine are both light" I can see myself buying the top notch combos and still doing the two amp thing. like a fender tubed amp like the twin reissue and like a orange rockverb or like a mentioned a mesa. But for now with my band still growing im hopeful the GT an orange can give me the tone I need for awhile. Im still deciding on whether I want to speaker swap the GT as well.
