Yeah, I'd go for the Pro Reverb or the Deluxe with your Strat.

Have fun!

Wow what a rig.

I would say IMO you could use any of the amps you posted. Having to different players on stage using the same type of amp (d-style in this case) doesn't necessarily mean you won't cut through the mix. Every player has there own technique/style. Even if you're trying to reproduce what's on an album its safe to say that Dumble's showcase the little nuances different players have.

Compare Larry and Robben. You can hear both their signature tone and still distinguish who is who. (I think even though their amps are different voicing's aka Ripper/BM and non-HRM skyliner that it's still irrelevant)'

Rob
Are you appearing any where near London?

You've got to keep it very simple, I doubt many venues could accommodate 2 rigs of that size!

The playin is what's important, don't matter what u r playin thru if the playin is great. The sound is obviously secondary, just don't outplay your buddy if u want to play a second tour.

Sure seems like a job for a Rocket and the Fuchs amp. Go anywhere you like with that.

Pro Reverb and pedals as you've suggested, or if you need to fill in when he's not playing and have room for a two-amp rig I'd add in the 50W Marshall as well to cover a lot of sonic territory, especially with the pedals you'll have for juicing the Fender.

I think your Deluxe Reverb and the Train 45 would fit into his sound rather nicely. You will be running through the mixing board right?

Marshall 50w for this application imho. But on about 5 with pedals for solos.
