Ok sorry for the irruption and Hi at all...All days i chop my brain unto this question: is the hour of cancel my deville from my room came?

Sorry for my english...

Long time ago i bought this amp and i've loved it so much...but times are changed and my sound too...so now i need a new low fat bottome sound...and those 4 10" speackers don't help me... All people tell me to change; i wanna add...A new cabinet...a 1x15 8 ohm ashdown Cabinet...

I haven't found yet a similar question in the forum...

So can my 60w tube Bluesin' De Ville change enough adding an 1x15 Cabinet...Thank's at all

I play Stoner...With a luthier SG shape guitar mohogany body JB/Jazz Pickup set and an ibanez (rg alder body) with same pickup set...

A sealed 1x15 cab will handle bassy tones better than an open-back 4x10 combo. But even though the Blues DeVille and Hot Rod DeVille are a bit darker than most Fenders, they aren't really ideal for stoner. And hauling around a 410 combo plus a 115 cab is a lot of work -- bulky, heavy, awkward.

I think you'd be better off selling the DeVille and buying an Orange or Engl or something that excels at stoner/doom tones.

Ok...this is true...anyway i know lot of people that use (not with a properly stoner sound) some 2x12 bassman amps combined with another 2x12 cabinet...i know that bassman is darker then my amp...

Anyway i've understood your idea...And i was conscient of the weight question...all people tell me this too...

When i was "no-money boy" i've tried for month a vibrosonic reverb fender of '77... 1x15 electro voice...Amazing...i was simply dreamin again about it...

So no 1x15...better sell it...

I don't know what the problem is, but a Blues Deville 4x10 is capable of putting out a ton of bass. I play my 59 Bassman clone (4x10) with the bass control all the way down and it still puts out a lot of bass.

Stoner rock typically uses heavily distorted tones, often down-tuned guitars, thick creamy dark tones with fairly tight bass. It's not an issue of how much bass a 410 DeVille can deliver, it's more about the tone of the bass and distortion.

Old Bassman's are sometimes used with pedals shaping the EQ and providing the distortion for stoner, but that's mostly people who can't afford more appropriate gear. You could take that same approach with a DeVille, but Orange overwhelming rules the stoner market.

You can play blues with an Orange, but it wouldn't be my first choice. Same goes for using a Fender for stoner -- it's possible but not ideal. Randall, Engl, Mesa Rectifiers, H&K, even some Peavey's are also more stoner-appropriate.

You could call some late 60s and into the 70s stoner music too. They did not tune down,or tune so you can just move one finger all over the place to help you play. So a bassman or deville could be fine for that.

I dont think todays music where you tune down and the singer sounds like the cookie monster is stoner music. Its make me want to punch someone in the face music. But I have anger issues. :mrgreen:
