Stewen, Any amp needs to be miked to a board (whether real or virtual) in order to "record" the song for playback. He used a Compressor, Keeley modded TS-9, and a Delay Reverb. But, all recording of the initial portion of the YT is straight through the amp. Very little EFX dialed in, and he demostrates it has he is applying the EFX.
If you played a gig solely with no pedals or the same one or two pedals, the music would get awfully similar sounding (eg: boring). To catch the tone of the originals you are covering requires some effects. Maybe a slapback for one song. Or MRX-90 for another. Flanger for part of another, Cry-baby for another. Etc. How well your amp sounds and takes to these EFX items is a sign of a good amp.
I find that the dual 6L6GC with tube recitification has a much broader range of tones. Whether EFX induced or done by the guitarist's articulations. When compared to the solid-state rectified, four 6L6GC Twin Reverb.
There really is no way to describe the tonal difference without you taking your ES-175 down to a shop or to a person with a well setup Super Reverb. I have yet to find anyone that didn't like the tonal range of this amp. It's like a clean Tremolux head with balls. And a Twin Reverb with a bit of Bluesy soul. And those 4 X 10-inch speakers are great for lead work. I feel they react a lot quicker to input than most 12-inch speakers.
