Mesa Boogie vs Fender


I own and really like a Mesa Boogie Tremoverb 2x12 combo. Sweet amp with great mids and lows...However, I am considering getting something a little less ’commanding’ like a 60’s era Fender Deluxe reverb, Twin reverb, Princeton reverb or maybe a Super reverb. Since I only use singe coil PUP’s, what would one expect the SQ to be like vs. my Mesa??

I still have a little Mesa .22 Studio from around 1992.  It sounds very neutral to me compared to the vintage Fenders which benefit from more headroom - brighter and sparkling and able to playing "chunkier" without breaking up.
Not being a smart a$$ but the SQ of the Fender will sound more like a Fender.  There is just a signature sound of their early 60's amps.
