I have the 2x12" Hot Rod DeVille. Like the others have said this is a good
value. Its VERY loud for 60 Watts and can stay nice and clean at high volume
on the clean channel. It has a pretty good spring reverb, although it is NOT
tube driven. But, I have a stand alone reverb unit, and that makes a pretty
damn good combo. It is probably too big for my basement playing, but I hope
to play out someday.
My only problem with it is that the power tubes rattle at even moderate
volume. I've been advised to replace them to fix that.
Good luck,
BN
