Are these basically the same amp besides the Deville being a 2x12 and the Deluxe being a 1x12? I may trade my POS!!!!!!POS!!!!! Line 6 2x12 in on one. Did I mention that the Line 6 is a HUGE PILE OF POO!!!!!! The thing will sometimes lose volume for no reason. It has always done this. The music store had someone replace the mother board and it STILL does it. Now the thing is too old to just return so I have to eat about $400 of it. The wierd thing is that it would NEVER repeat the problem AT the friggin music store! What a POS!!!!! Anyway, so does anyone have an answer to my original question? ;)
 
basically yes, the deluxe is 40 watt, the deville is 60 watts

I'm not looking for perfect. I just didn't know if it was really worth the extra $120 for the Deville or not. 40 watts and 1x12 is plenty for what I'd need it for. I just want a simple, basic little tube amp to replace that POS Line 6. If I had my way, I'd really want a Vox AC30, but then we're talking about spending some real money. I don't want to spend any real money to be honest.

you know you can get those yellow jackets and run el84's in those for a way better tone. IMO
just plug them in no biasing needed
 
Ah pedals into the clean channel!!!! Your learning grasshopper. :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: Continue to spread the word. :thumbsup:
 
I would say the Deville and Deluxe sound pretty similar. I have played through both back to back and they were pretty close overall.

I like the Blues Deville/Deluxe over the Hot Rod versions. For the Devilles the 410 sounded better than the 212 to me, just fuller and more 3D.

I would take a peavey classic 50/Classic 30 over the Hot Rod Deluxe/Deville.

so I would either get a peavey classic 50/classic 30 or the Blues Deville or Deluxe....

i agree the 4x10's soudn better, i have a 4x10 deville and it gets a great clean tone. i know alot of people dislike the gain channel cause you cant chug chug with it but it gets a usable crunch tone.

You might want to check out the Tech 21 trademark amps. They are not tube but they are damn nice sounding! The Deville and Hot Rod sound nice but not really for any metal or hard rock sounding distortions while the Tech 21's can cover it all.

Yeah I got the Deluxe. I was limited to what the store carried because I was returning/trading in the Line 6. I'm not looking for an amp to play metal on. I have other stuff for that. I just wanted a small, simple, basic clean/rock/blues/pop kinda amp that I can throw in the trunk. This one fits the bill for that just fine.
 
Heh, well they didn't have one of those there.

It's a very cool amp man, I will definitely be picking on up when the need for a combo arises.
