Blues deluxe tablature3/15/2024 ![]() ![]() A few weeks back I played my Emmons Push Pull through my LTD on the first set of a three set gig, thought I would use the Cube 60 on the second set and ended up using it on the third set too because it sounded so good. I never thought I would say this, but I like it as much as my Peavey LTD. I have to admit that it really surprised me how good this amp sounds with a steel. They all sound good for guitar, but the Black Panel is the best for steel. It also has amp models for a JC 120, Vox AC 30, Fender Tweed amp, Marshal stack, Peavey stack and Mesa Boogie. It has amp modeling and the Black Panel model, which I assume was modeled after a Blackface Twin Reverb, sounds great with guitar and steel. ![]() I have played guitar through the Fender Blues Deluxe and it is a great guitar amp, but I don't know what it would sound like with a steel. The Blues Deluxe is 40W with 2 6L6 tubes. Sorry, Lefty, but you must be talking about a different amp. More intended for guitar studio or small venue applications, but a great sounding little amp with a good speaker installed. The Blue JR is a fine little class A EL84 amp with simple master/volume. The Hot Rod has more clean headroom with 40 watts 6l6 tubes, switchable preamp. With a RV-3 though, it sounds about as good as the Steel King at low volumes. The Hot Rod reverb does use a spring reverb tank but is driven by a transistor circuit, not a tube, so it's not the quality of reverb that the Fender Deluxe has. ![]() I doubt it would be enough volume for any kind of club gig. I have to run the Presence completely off to arrive at a good tone so it's really not voiced for Steel Guitar. The Fender has the most warmth and tons of bass oomph at practice volumes. I have tried my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe side by side with the Fender Steel King, Peavey Nashville 112 and Webb 6-14-E. I'm not sure what the differences are other than the "more drive" feature on the Hot Rod, but even when n ot using that feature I always liked it better than the Blues Deluxe. IMHO I like the Hot Rod Deluxe better than the Blues Deluxe. I've got a Blues Deluxe reissue 40 watter myself which is my main lead guitar amp, however, it sucks for steel! My Peavey Nashville 112 will blow it out of the park for half the cost.JH in Va.ĭon't matter who's in Austin (or anywhere else) Ralph Mooney is still the king!!! Replaced the speaker with an EVM12L and has more drive and lowend. I really like it for guitar,however when I tried it with my steel I couldn't get anough low's out of it. The amp is LOUD aplenty, though!Īlex, I've got a Blue's Deluxe. I doubt if the speaker would hold up to high volume C6 pounding, though. I haven't tried my steel through it, but I'm sure it'd sound pretty good, at low volume. I changed all the preamp tubes from 12AX7's to 12AU7's, which softened things up quite a bit. Straight out of the box, I couldn't turn the volume past "2" without some VERY un-musical distortion. Ive been thinking about stepping up to the 40 watt blues deluxe. Ive got the deluxe reverb, it sounds good with the steel, however it gets a little to hot when cranked for guitar. I want something clean enough at low volumes for steel, as well as something I can crank up a bit for guitar and get a decent tone. Im looking for an amp to play steel and guitar through.
