Hi

Ok so, I have a Ltd lacquered tweed hot rod deluxe, and a Ltd edition cream of wheat blues deluxe .. (and a little Vox AC15C1)

I play a ‘57 avri strat and a Gretsch vintage select Tennessee rose 6119, I play clean generally (country/surf) occasionally a little bit of distortion on Beatles stuff.

I prefer the tone of the blues deluxe , it’s more vintage and polite than the hot rod .... a really nice tone.

However recently played through a ‘65 deluxe reverb - loverly amp ! and wondered will it hold clean as long as the blues deluxe, how will the tone differ (as I can’t try them side by side) and should I sell all my amps and buy one ?

Tried youtube but the tests are normally mostly aimed at distortion / over drive gerrrrr !!!

Any thought welcome

Thanks everyone

The Deluxe Reverb's power (22 watts) comes from a pair of 6V6GTA's and that 22 watts is close to their max output in Class AB operation. Conversely, the Blues Deluxe's 40 watts is provided via a pair of 6L6GC's and those tubes have a hefty power reserve (25 to 30 percent) in Class AB operation. Thus, the Blues Deluxe will provide a cleaner signal at higher volumes than the Deluxe Reverb.
