Tried the Deluxe reissue and sounded good at full volume in the alley behind the music store. Needs 20 or 30 hours on the tubes and am sure it will sound great. Put down a deposit to hold it. Before I buy it will find a sound person to take a look at the PA set up. Man, I sure would much rather use my own amp, you all know how when you find that rig mix that works how hard it is to mess with it.
