If you are going out to demo a few nice amps, have your guitar professionally set up if it's been a while.

The tone of the older amps you mentioned is due in large part to their incredibly rich and clear harmonic overtone structure. You will hear any tuning problems with the guitar very easily because of this.

I can't tell you how many times I've had a player tell me while tracking that the Orange is broken because it makes his guitar sound out of tune, and he knows this because his guitar sounds fine on his brand new Marshall!
