I'm thinking of going over to the Blues Deluxe from a Hot Rod Deville 212 and I'm comparing them at the moment. I got interested in what the BDL might sound like with the extra speaker - does anyone have experience of it or even the Hot Rod deluxe through the enclosure?

The 1x12 extension cabinet does add apparent volume, and gives better stage coverage. I've also found that the Celestion speaker in the cab does tighten up the bass response somewhat. I found it improved my overall tone, and I won't leave home without it anymore.

I have a speaker cabinet on order from Avatar Speakers. It is a 112 with a Hellatone 60. The Hellatone is actually a Celestion Vintage 30 that has been pre broken in and relabeled. I will use it with my HR DLX. Should arrive mon. or tues..

Sounds like a thumbs up so far, then. I like the idea of flexibility the enclosure would offer, too: leave it at home for rehearsals, bring it for gigs... And I also love that Fender concept of "apparent volume"! I know what that means from the Deville 212, and I would like that sort of thing from an amp that was easier to get around.

Well I got my G112 Avatar speaker cab. The hellatone 60 sounds great and in my opinion better sounding than the speaker in my HR DLX. Tighter base clearer sound. The amp sets right on top of the cabinet nicely and looks great with the amp cab. Many artists use these on tour. I got the enclosed back. I may even replace the onboard speaker now. It is the eminence I believe that comes in the amp. Some specials come with the Vintage 30 which is the exact same speaker as the hellatone. Relabeled after break in from Avatar. $278 shipping and all. I may order a Warehouse speaker.
