Well, if you've got the money, I'd say go with the Twin Reverb.

Fender '65 Twin Reverb

This amp is famous for it's beautiful clean tone and fantastic reverb. This is a great amp. It is quite powerful at 85 watts. This amp will stay clean to super loud volume. Some consider that a problem. You are not going to be able to push this amp into saturation without wiping out the front row. But with pedals it should be awesome.

The Bassman is a great amp. It is known more as a Rock amp. The original Marshall amps were based on the Bassman. If you can get the volume up where it starts to break up, it gets awesome Rock overdrive tone. Not as clean as the TR or the HRD or DeVille.

The Hot Rod Deluxe and DeVille are really the same amp. The HRD is 1 X 12, the DeVille is either 2 X 12 or 4 X 10. These amps have a great clean channel, but probably not as good as the Twin Reverb (but what amp does?). They are an excellent gigging amp, plenty powerful, and very effect friendly. I have owned an HRD for about 4 years now, it has never let me down once. I would say the HRD and DeVilles are Blues amps. You will need pedals to get Metal or Grunge tones.

The Blues Junior is famous for great tone. It can handle a moderate gig at 15 watts. It might breakup a little early if you have to play with a loud drummer. But it can easily be mic'd and is used by many gigging musicians. As the name implies, it is primarily a Blues amp.

An amp you didn't mention is the Deluxe Reverb. It is a favorite with gigging musicians.

Deluxe Reverb

This amp is loved because it's 22 watts. You can actually crank it at a gig and get natural overdrive. Excellent Reverb too.

A new reissue that is sure to be popular is the Blues Deluxe. This amp was brought back by demand. Hey, it's what Neil Young has always used. :D

Blues Deluxe Reissue

This amp is going to be big. This is a very popular amp with great tone. Very similar to the HRD.

If you're going to be gigging, I consider the size and wieght to be an important factor. You can deffiantly get by with one 12 in a fender tube amp.

Get ready for you guitar experience to change (for the better). :D

Good luck.]]> Live Sound Boogieman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-tube-amps-bassman-hrd-etc-owners-opinions-please/#post-150579 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-tube-amps-bassman-hrd-etc-owners-opinions-please/#post-150270 Mon, 09 Jan 2006 03:48:44 +0000

Anyone who owns a Hot Rod Deluxe, Bassman Reissue, Blues Deluxe, Hot Rod Deville, or even a Blues Junior. I would really like a full on opinion on them.

Mainly what I am looking for is a tube amp I can use to gig with, that can be used with pedals very well. And have a crystal clear clean channel (which I know Fender is famous for).

Thanks for reading this, and I appreciate even a little input.]]> Live Sound Flashback https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/fender-tube-amps-bassman-hrd-etc-owners-opinions-please/#post-14408
