I really need some owners' input on this one. I've had a HR DeVille for 10 years now. As far as I'm concerned, it's a rock hard reliable work horse as any Twin or Super Reverb I've had in the late 60's, 70's & 80's. I do a lot of slide work in the course of an evening and my main squeeze is my Firebird V. This is a GREAT combination!!
Anyways, I gotta start bringing the volume down these days to let the PA do the work and I flatly refuse to use foot gadgets. My question to you is : is the SuperSonics' 60 watts as violent and aggressive as the DeVilles or, is it more tame? I feel I'll be pis--g a grand out the door if I get the 22w SS.
Waddaya think :?:

Hmmmm. Is one 60 watt tube amp louder than another 60 watt tube amp? Let me think about that for a second.

Ok. The answer is: maybe.

In this case the sensitivity of the speakers used with each amp will have the greatest effect on which one is louder. Your best bet would be to try them side by side and see, or hear for yourself.

Supersonic 60 is voiced for two classic Fender amps and has two gain levels to boot. Your amp is 10 years old. It's successor may have been tweaked a bit. Other than an an A/B comparison, you might take this over to the amp forum and put the question there.

OP already has. I gave him the same answer I did here.
