I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd

One reason the BJr sounds significantly different, is because the EQ is situated post-distortion, whereas, the Blues/Hotrod Deluxe has its EQ pre-distortion. The latter produces a much more 'old school' tonality at low distortion levels - but is not so nice in deep distortion and the EQ controls lose effectiveness.
The BJr can make the distortion sound very aggressive. They work more like a Marshall than a traditional Fender.
They do both use the same Fender 75W speaker... which is really an Eminence Legend 1258 but with a Fender label on the back.

I was never a fan of the Blues Deluxe or Deville, I prefer the Hot Rod Deluxe although I played them at different times.
The cleans don't have the grit of a Tweed or sparkle of a Blackface, I always found them a bit muddy.
May be the one I sued a few time wasn't that well.
I AB'd the amp against a Princeton 65 reissue, which is a lovely sounding amp. Different type of clean, i would love a Princeton at some point.
For me the Blues Deluxe is wonderfully simple, easy enough to carry around and takes drive pedals like a boss.
i think the mad volume jump can be solved by changing the volume pot. If you see one cheap nab it!
