The latter. Unless you have an unusual Deluxe Reverb that has an effects loop, you'll be limited to using the GT100 for effects. And even then, only effects that are suitable for use before the preamp, like overdrive and compression.
Sex knobs sounds like an interesting mod to your amp . P.S. You'll have to experiment a bit with the GT100 output level to get something that sounds good. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

That's a very good sounding amp so I personally wouldn't worry about not using the amp models in the gt-100. Try the models out but don't be surprised if they never really sound that great. Use the OD/Dist/EQ to sculpt amp type sounds.
The effects in the GT will sound really great going into the front end of that amp - either channel. I would use the 2nd (trem/verb) channel. *Fender vintage and vintage re-issue amps are definitely not what I would call 'flat' sounding in reference to the EQ. In fact, they are a bit scooped in the mids. That's one of the key elements in their beautiful, glassy and very full clean tone. Fender tone controls are all 'cut'. Which means that everything on 10 (or 12) is wide open. Also F midrange pots are 10k as opposed to say Marshall which are generally 25k, which means more mids. Even Fender amps that don't have a mid control have their mids 'set' (wired permanently) at about half way but with the lower value pot it's lower than many other popular amps (mesa, marshall, vox). This is why a stock TS sounds great w/a Fender - it pushes mids. This is also the 'magic' in the Klon Centaur pedal. These pedals were designed to go with a certain type of amp. Mids is where all the cool distortion lives. The original Mesa-Boogie amp is a Fender Vibro-Champ with a bigger output transformer, a higher value mid pot (with added mid control), part of the trem circuit re-purposed as a preamp gain stage and an added, higher efficiency EV 12" speaker (instead of the 10").
