Amp choice with X3L

So after a few years trying the X3L with a tube amp at church I've decided to join the rest of the world & use a non-tube amp. I just can't get it to sound right. It doesn't matter where I put the controls on the amp, it just sounds bad to my ears. Narrowed it down to 3:

 

Fender Mustang

Spyder

Vox Pathfinder

 

We're only talking about a stage monitor amp; the direct outs to the board are fine. X3L out to the amp is Live (combo front) mode, factory preset focus/high/low.

 

Any suggestions much appreciated, thanks.

    I use a mustang 2 as a monitor on the platform.

    I go out of the the XLR's to the main house sound and use the 1/4" outs to the mp3 IN on top of the mustang.

    Have the amp blowing right up at my head. works like a charm.

    i usually keep it low volume just to add some low end so I can still hear when the orchestra gets loud.

    too much volume and it fools me into thinking i am louder out front; so i tend to lay back and now play as boldly as i should.
