DRRI is out of my price range :D Anything US made is twice expensive in Europe. For Example DDRI new cost 1000 US and here 1800, American Standard 1300 US here for 1800 :) But mexican made guitars are nearly the same price everywhere, except the amps - BDRI 770 US here for 1000

Anyway, thanks! I will try them both :)

Personally I would choose neither but that's me.
Most of the Blues Jr's I've played out of sound boxy where the Blues Deluxe sounds a little dark for my tastes. It's a shame, for not a whole lot more coin, you're in used 65 DRRI territory. The DRRI has a lot more versatility because it has two channels with separate EQ, is light weight and has that "classic" Fender sound and a bit better build quality. The tube sockets are chassis mounted. But if you're really into the HRD series, give them both a try. But I would try a DRRI or a Peavey Classic 30 too. But yes, 40 watts is quite loud for home only playing. Even five watts through a 112 cab is seriously loud for home use.
Best of luck with whatever you choose. :wink:

I can't agree more, I was in a similar situation as Armavet. The difference was that I had just enough $$ for the DRRI when it went on sale in a local shop. When I was searching for an amp I scoured the internet for ages reading reviews, making a list (about 12 amps altogether) & through process of elimination, considering lots of variables, price, build quality, reliability, size, power, & above all tone, it all came down to the DRRI. It seemed just right for my style & needs. I tried it first of course. But the homework paid off. No regrets. I still would like to try a Delta Blues 115 some day though :)

The Delta Blues is seriously cool. Really nice bottom end and sounds nice when pushed. I borrowed one from a buddy of mine for a gig when my HRDlx was in the shop for the third time. My other amp was my Twin and it was way overkill for the gig and my Champ wasn't powerful enough even though I have gigged some blues stuff with my Champ and two 112 Egnater closed back cabs. It can get pretty loud for a six watter. I matched the 4 ohm load with a Weber Z-Matcher. I carry the Z-Matcher to all my gigs just in case I blow a speaker. I can match any load with it. Best money I ever spent.
