Re: Lovepedal les lius + fender hot rod deluxe 3?
I own two HRDeluxes. One 2005 ish and one newish.
I use the clean channel only with the master on 10 and the volume on 4-5 for live gigs. The cleans are wonderful, treble on 5-7 depending for my tastes, mid on 3, bass 0 as I use one open and one closed cab so no extra boominess needed.
With just this simple set up, I can get any tone I shoot for.
The pedals I have are all top notch, boosters, boosters W/gain, EQ, etc. I know which to use as I have had a growing list of pedals to push a clean sound in any direction.
I don't know the pedal you are talking of, but the HRD3 would be a Keef approved clean place to start from. At 40 watts max you could mic that for a stadium or pull back the volume (not the master) and use it in small venues with the right pedal for some grit and breakup. A beatiful one amp for all piece of gear as far as I am concerned, and of course IMHO.
