In the case of the DR, the OD pedal isn't competing with the PR's natural OD.
Could be?

Actually Deluxe Reverbs also have 2 6V6 output tubes.
I find that my Pro Reverb (2 6L6) likes overdrives boxes, distortion pedals, etc. better than my DR. I've never tried a Princeton with ANY kind of pedal, so I can't comment.
