I need to choose one, but I'm not sure since I haven't played a Deluxe VM. I really liked the Hot Rod though.

Hot Rod Deluxe LTD Orange

Deluxe Vintage Modified

I'm a bit weary of the reliability comments about the Hot Rod, is it really that bad? :(

You think you're sick of reading about it? Go ahead and buy one. Then you'll be REALLY sick of hearing yourself talk about what a dog it is.

Or, you can just drop by TheFenderForum.com. There's a guy one the web who has a huge and extremely detailed site on how to modify the HRDlx, and he has posted a link to TFF as a source of more info, because there are some real amplifier experts who hang (or used to hang) there. GO to TFF and search the site on "Hot Rod Deluxe" or "HRDlx."

Then let me know if you still want one.

+1. I don't like either one. Get a Deluxe Reverb Reissue and save yourself some headaches. A different cabinet and speaker won't change the fact that it's unreliable and evil. Mine's one more repair away from the landfill and it's only about three years old. Most of Justin's site isn't just on modding the amp, It's repairing all the junk that goes wrong with it due to poor design and cheap components.

The vintage molested series is a hybrid that's cheaply made too.
