I scored a 1994 Blues Deville that is in nearly perfect working order. The only thing I KNOW it needs is a nut for input jack #1. There are no crackles, pops, anything from any knob. And holy crap it is LOUD, but clear and clean.
Aesthetically, it's not the cleanest amp, but it only adds some extra mojo IMO 8)
LOVES pedals, in fact I traded in some old gear and picked up an older Big Muff Pi (HUGE pedal). That pedal + the Blues Deville = Black Keys circa Thickfreakness era. And clean, it's just a wonderful, amazing amp.
Taking it to band practice on Wednesday. Cannot wait to open it up. I couldn't get it past 4 in the house, I was afraid the neighbors would come knocking.
On to the pics

And the Muff Pi (size comparison to a Swollen Pickle)

Thanks for looking. I was told it HAS TO HAVE the filter capacitors replaced. I don't hear a damn thing wrong with it, is just routine maintenance?
Thanks

That was the amp that brought me back to Fender Tube amps.
Those blue alnicos sound real sweet !

I had a made in 1993 when I first joined this forum.

I got some killer tone out of it !

Try a little compression in front of that amp, Sparkle city !!!! You'll love it !!

Mine is on tour with a young group out of Iowa, They came all the way to Indiana to buy it from me, nice peeps !

One thing I didn't expect was how responsive this amp is to pick attack. Just an amazing amp. So freaking love it. :D
