I'm still have a tweed Blues Deville 4x10 (the pre-hot-rod deville version). I'ts a good clean amp (with good tubes). I't a good amp to play anything, very good for classic rock. It kicks !!!!

If you have a problem with pedals sucking tone, or want to bypass a bunch of them, see this guy:

Re: How are Fender Hot Rod Devilles?

Right now, I run my XLR outputs from my Duoverb to the mixer, so wattage is not a problem (Duoverbs sound like crap when mic'ed). I jammed a gig on the 410 Deville, but it was tooo heavy and the tones were not versatile. The pedals through the front of amp kinda sucked out some gain. I dont know, but the Deville is not for me... Thansk for the responses. We kinda Hijacked this thread, huh?

BTW Drew, how does that Tele taste???

yeah, we jacked it, but thats fine, its all relevant

I'll be honest with you, i bought the deluxe because i liked the sound. Problem is i only played it at bedroom volumes, so the day i cranked it was a very sad day for me.

then along came eminence, now i have a red white & blues speaker, which sounds like the stock one did at bedroom volumes, at higher ones. Now this thing is a well-oiled rock machine. The speakers are to blame for the pedals losing gain at higher volumes, with my new speaker, i get amazing chunk & gain. In a deville, with 2 of those things, oh man, i'd be more worried about how to TAME it.

and the tele tastes awesome, i almost chipped my tooth taking that pic tho
