Use your ears to select amp models, not notions of what you think "should" sound best.
Guitar players as a whole aren't a very technically literate lot, and most of the secrets to "tone" or "mojo" are just self-confirming bias based off faulty assumptions. Some rock star get misquoted, it spreads through the internet, and next thing you know the masses accept it as a "truth" to getting great tone. There is no real truth to it, but people hear what they want to hear.
Next thing you know, a guy who buys a $20 Chinese tube-screamer clone is able to rehouse it in a new box, "goop" the circuit board, and people are waiting 6 months to pay him $400 for the magical pedal, and thread after thread starts on the internet with folks claiming how it sounds so much better than anything else on the market etc etc.
Essentially it comes down to us hearing what we want to hear, often when its the exact same amp model, or tube type etc. Our expectations and preconceived notions run rampant.
I would wager any amount of money that you could take an Axe-Fx amp model, not change a single thing about it, except rename it and claim its modeled off some guitar hero's personal amp and people would swear up and down its the best amp model they've ever heard, even though its just an existing model they've heard tons of times. We hear what we expect to hear, instead of actually listening to our ears.
Don't worry about the label of the amp, or what tube it uses etc, just listen to the sound it produces and if you like that sound.
