I can't find the thread, but I saw this version on eBay and thought it looked cool.

My first tube amp 7-8 yrs ago was a Hot Rod Deluxe, but I really didn't care for the sound of the gain channel on it's own, and could never really get it to sound right with pedals. It also went from really quiet to crazy loud without hardly touching the volume.
I hear they have made some changes to the latest model to help out with some of these issues, but I don't know exactly what they are.
