Thank you for watching this video. if you enjoyed it please like and subscribe :)

I recently bought a deluxe reverb reissue and thought it would be cool to do a little comparison video with my hot rod deluxe to see if its worth the upgrade or not. In my opinion the DRRI just has so much more character than the HRD. I do like the hot rod and think for the price you really cant go wrong though.

I think the Hot Rod had a little more top end and bite than the Deluxe Reverb. I personally liked the DR better myself mainly because Im not a fan of trebly and bitey sounding tone. I prefer the full, fat punchy tone of the neck pickup and the DR really brings that out nicely! Great sound comparison and playing!

What's the DR speaker? I loved ur tones with it.

For my tastes, I loved the Hot Rod Deluxe. Very impressed.

There’s not much in it tone wise. I could work with either one. I think I’d just go with the DR for the convenience of having the controls on the front and that awesome tremolo channel.

The DR had a more even sonic spectrum, sounded more neutral, hi fi, and more versatile. The HRD had a mid focus grind, had more character, more twang. If you could keep both, they’d be very complementary in the sense that you could switch between them depending on your mood. If you want to keep only one, the DR is more versatile. Jmho.

I've played through both of these amps live, at the same time and separately. They'll both definitely get the job done, but the HRD has a Mid control that definitely helps cut through the mix.

The DR sounds great but can get lost in the mix for leads. It also breaks up earlier than the HRD due to the difference in wattage.

This is some lovely nerdy guitar stuff. I liked the hot rod better. And i love your playing

Get an A/B switch to go from one to another.

I had the Hot Rod Deville 3 with the 4x10s instead of the 2x12. I think they sound better with the 4x10s, but they are both great amps. Ended up selling mine because I got a super good deal on a Twin that needed work and fixed it myself.

A speaker swap will really bring that Deluxe Reverb to life though. Eminence Swamp Thangs or Texas Heats, or even one of each would make it an absolute killer blues amp.

EDIT: I don't know why I was thinking the Deluxe reverb was a 2x12, but if I had to pick a speaker to put in it, I'd go with the Texas Heat.

2:53 song name please? Stop Dragging My Heart Around? S. Nicks and T. Petty? It was tasty. Regarding which amp- I like Vanilla AND Chocolate ice cream. Both different flavors- both nice. If I had to pick one it could easily be the '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb.

Your playing is nice- as is your song choice. In just my very humble opinion though, a A/B test should not be with popular songs as they are a bit distracting. Just play 3 basic chords and a simple rhythm and repeat on amp B. It's about hearing the tone comparisons. A simple 12 bar blues can work too. Looping isn't really necessary but OK once in a while if you are feeling it. Again, it is about the focusing on the amps- not your playing- not the songs, etc. This way, people can better choose which one they like.

If you do more A/B videos, grab a nice Radial Twin-City ABY Amp Switcher Pedal. I have one and it's great.

The DDR breaks up earlier than the HRD the first is a 22w, and the latter is a 40w, so for a true comparison, vol level on the HDR has to be higher than the DRR, so instead of 2.5 at least 3.5 on the HDR
