I am looking for some good advise on what to replace the factory speaker and tubes in my Blues Deluxe Reissue. I want a smooth, over-driven sound more than all out distortion.

Thanks!

I can't imagine a smoother overdriven sound than the BDR in its stock form. What you hear is not distortion, it's overdrive......I have one and I bought it for exactly that reason. It's the best blues sound I ever heard....I've been playing 45 years.

Hi

I've got a Hot Rod Deville, not quite the same as a Blues Deluxe, but very close. With regards to tubes, I'm using a Tung-Sol 12AX7 in V1 and JJ ECC83s (12AX7s) in V2 and V3. Power Tubes are JJ 6L6GCs. This tube compliment, for me, is awesome. The Tung-Sol is very linear sounding, warm, and expressive. Low microphonics, too. Great tube. I really like JJs, too. The JJ in V2 is the only tube I've tried that's actually worked well with the Deville drive channel. It makes it much thicker, smoother, and less piercing. Just my 2 cents.

As for speakers, I play the 4x10. But for what it's worth, I've upgraded to Eminence Patriots and am incredibly impressed. These speakers are way better than the stock.
