Conclusion
The Blues Deluxe
We have used this amp a number times at gigs, and it sounds pretty nice! It lacks the headroom of the Hot Rod Deville, with 40 watts, vs. 60, but it is still plenty loud. We think it could benefit from some newer speakers, perhaps a pair of 12" Celestions - there is plenty of room in the cab for them. It would be a nice guitar amp, driven to natural overdrive, but it struggled a bit with the keyboard we were using it with, which was competing with two Hot Rod Devilles, a large bass amp, and drums. But it is even lighter than the Hot Rod Deville, which is great!
