I prefer the peavey Bandit to the HRD, one sounds like a valve amp one has valves!
I used a Classic 50 in a studio once and liked it very much, so I specified one for a gig;

..and it just didn't work for me at volume, it was very harsh and punchy. They did a quick change to a red knob Twin for me between songs
I find the Hotrod Deluxe similar to the Classic 50 to be honest, they just feel too aggressive to me compared to a DRRI.
They're good amps, but I always feel I'd need to do a lot of tedious and expensive speaker experimentation at high volume to get the best out of them.
I did actually refer to the 68 Custom Deluxe in my OP, but there has been many comparisons made between the DRRI and the HRDlx, which isn't actually what I'm interested in. To reiterate; I have a Hot Rod Deluxe Mk3, which I'm considering changing for the 68 CDR, not the 65 DRRi.
Does anyone have any experience of the 68 Custom Deluxe Reverb?
I think the 68DR sounds much nicer in that vid too...
Well this changes things...In theory, the same volume, in fact about 1dB (negligible) quieter than the Deluxe (98dB @ 22W = 111.5dB vs 95db @ 35W = 110.5db) Only £100 more...tube bias trem, bright switch...hmmmm...

Still very tempting, though.
