Anyone try this amp out yet? Views about the modifications/improvements they did on it? Thinking about getting one of these with a BlackTop Jaguar HH. I own an American Special Strat and a Peavey Delta Blues amp. This amp is very good and reliable, but it's just not that Fender sound that I like. I had a used Deville 212 that had a great sound but cost me many bucks in fixes!

the drive channel is supposed to be tighter with more bottom end...not for heavy metal, but it sounds better than the HR deville that I have. On the Blues Jr, they apparently did a "Sparkle Mod" on the clean channel. Also, The speaker was upgraded on the Blues Jr, so I think they might have done that on the Deluxe as well. Other than the drive channel, speaker, and some cosmetic changes, it hasn't changed much.
Here is a clip with a review...the deluxe review comes in about halfway thru.

Scroll to 04:55 and listen to the demo of the overdrive channel on the HR deluxe.

I had an HRD III for a while, and while it was a decent sounding amp, I'd say skip it and get a DRRI or PRRI. Those amps are far superior in my opinion. The drive on the HRD III was improved but still not that usable.
