Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue

This is my new amp:
the tweed has been shellaced
also It came wiht another set of tubes, Tung Sol, anyone use those before? What are the good and bad about them.
Oh yeah, I only gave 420$ for this monster, still hase the orginal hang tags, guy said he had it about 3 weeks. Sold it to finance and Dr. Z.
My new Tele Rig - Basically Guitar/amp porn

Congrats on the new amp, I've got one also. Hard to beat a good ole Fender amp! Also have a Blues Jr, you might want to check one of these out also.

We seem to have the same taste! The Blues Deluxe is great but VERY loud & not the best for practicing quietly at home. Good for anything other than very small gigs

Congratulations, Colt, that's a wonderful amp -- I use mine a lot.

Sounds great with a Tele. Actually, I should say it gets along real well with every type of guitar you throw at it...

94 Blues Deluxe.

Absolute stunning amp with a tele.

Would assume that the reissues play as well as the originals and if they do....hang onto it, wish I had.

got a 93 which was wimpy with head slicing top end till i put in a V30
after that change it roars
still a very toppy amp though - its heavy and damn loud

doubt whether i will sell it but 2 PTP tweed clones have moved in lately which are tantalising my taste buds and the blues deluxe stays home most nights these days

I've heard many people say it's not a great amp for small gigs or in the house, but I quite like mine for exactly that. Perhaps in an apartment it's overly loud, but in the house, I generally have the volume clean between 2 and 3, and adjust the guitar volume from 1/3 to full depending, and while it's moving alot of air, I don't think it's too loud, just nice and crisp, and at jams it often gets over 3. Though I can't imagine getting over 5 with it though!

I have been playing this amp for several days now, and I must say that I am still in love with it. Great sounding amp, very clean, but I haven't had a chance to take it somewhere yet where I can really open it up. I've tweeked the knobs a bit, and it plays fine in the house. Sounds good whilst doing so as well.
Now I just need some casters, because its kinda heavy and a case so that I can transport it around and not damage it. Any suggestions on where to get those anyone???

ive got an original 94 in blonde (vintage??)

great amp, gig with it all the time. ill die the day it stops working

So weird to me, because I'm loving how LIGHT this amp is.

Of course, I'm alternating between this little guy, and an AC30...

Well Im new to all this new fangled electical ampmlified instrument stuff, I am used to strumming on my old Martin, and pickin a little on my Fender Deluxe banjo. This nearly 50lb amp isn't ridiculously heavy, but still would be nice to have some wheels for it.

Lots of folks around here like to modify stuff, but I tend to keep things "stock." I bought myself a mini-dolly at Harbor Freight tools -- looks like a furniture moving dolly, but tiny. $10; just the right size for an amp.

I've owned about 6 Blues Deluxes. Awesome amps- sound awesome, look cool, are rather small, but super loud. I don't really like the Hot Rods, but I think the Blues Deluxes are one of the best bangs for the buck of any amp. You'll never need anything louder, and I'd put the tone up against much more expensive amps. I recently bought an AC15 so I could get more grit at lower volumes, but only because I was scaling down from the Blues Deluxe's big brother, the 212 Blues Deville, which I will never get rid of; it's my big, loud amp. As a thought, you may want to toy with the idea of throwing in a vintage Weber speaker that may help you approximate the old-time tweed tones a little more with more vintage break up. In the future, I'd like to put a couple 30 watt, 12A125-O Webers in my Deville to make the break up closer to that of a low powered tweed Twin.

mm i doubt i would use a weber in a deluxe - with the deville you can get in 2x wich will be closer to handling the power- it would be way over the top treble wise - i found a V30 great or one of the darker emi 12's -

no way you will get tweed tones out of a blues deluxe as it is a different animal altogether - dont let the cool tweedy exterior fool you
