Lead/solo tone to setup with Fender Deluxe model

Wildwind

Experienced
Quick advice needed. I’m loving the Fender Deluxe (Vib) model for clean and light crunch tones. But now I’m wanting a compatible lead tone. I haven’t felt like the Fenders handle that so well but I’m sure I’m doing it wrong. I have a patch set up with a pair of the FAS ODs and it sounds pretty okay. But should I try something else? Anyone else using something they really like? This is for p&w use, mainly for leads, fills, and key riffs. The light crunch Deluxe is nice, but sometimes not quite enough.


Thanks!
 
Here's a Deluxe Verb Vib amp template I've used with a couple of song presets:
Amp X is a heavier crunch, Y is the lead tone.
If you need more gain add the Drive X (Eternal Love)
If you need more sustain, add the Compressor X (Pedal 1)

Haven't tried the Nuclear Tone, didn't realize it was a Tweed class amp. Will give that a try.

Thanks for the answers! Back under the headphones i go.
 
Try the ACB Boost with that amp... Works well for me. Might need to raise the low cut a bit to taste but depends on your pickups.
