Hello forum...

Couple of things;

1. I currently use a HRDlxIII, which for lots of reasons, I'm very fond of...but I recently test drove the 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb, and loved it. So, I'm thinking of 'upgrading'. I think my only reservation is losing a dedicated tube driven overdrive channel, in exchange for probably having to use a good overdrive pedal. I'm thinking I'll probably us an ABY box, so I can still use the amp as two-channel; one channel pushed slightly harder to essentially operate as a dedicated drive channel...does anyone else work like that? Is there a flaw in my plan? Has anyone else made the transition from a hot rod to a deluxe reverb and are you happier?

2. I was also thinking of buying a smaller amp more suited for home use, but given the lower weight and smaller frame of the DR, I'm thinking that would suffice if I were to use an attenuator to keep the volume manageable (looking at the Weber Mass Lite 100)...again, has anyone used their DR with an attenuator? Do they play well together?

Cheers.
