    I was quite happy with my Blues Junior but my Concert Amp is much warmer specially with the vibrato turned on, even if it lacks the nice crunch of the BJ.

    I had an Bassman export head which was quite good and a silver face Princeton which I loved :

    I would really like to get an hand on a Old Deluxe this is apparently "The Amp" for blues players

    I would say the 65 Deluxe Reverb, then the Blues Junior special edition. I had a Blues Deluxe reissue but never bonded with it. Also a friend has a vibrolux reverb stored at my place and I like that one as well. The 65 is just pure sweetness. 22 watts and tone to die for.
    The Blues is alright!

    I'm really happy with my HRDeluxe, especially now that I'm playing in a band and I get to crank it, very versatile amp, nice clean and loves OD pedals (I never use the drive channel it's too harsh sounding).

    My favorite low-gain Fender amp is the '65 blackface Princeton Reverb. I owned one briefly back in the late 80s. Bought it from a friend and foolishly sold it back to him. It had an EV 10" speaker in it and was one of the nicest clean sounding amps I've heard.

    My favorite high-gain Fender amp is the mid-to-late 80s Super Champ. Another one that got away. :

    I've had a number of those regrettable "got away" Fenders but one set I truly miss is my old beat-up '59 Bassman w/'63 Reverb unit.
    I gassed for those from the day I saw Pete Townshend stylin' away on his. Perfect in the day... not so much post-80's. Still regrettable!

    Here's a demo of the modern pair:

    Princeton Reverb. I like simple amps. One channel no master volume. I thought these were a great value when Fender reissued them last year. Now that they have jacked up the price they must compete with some low powered boutique gear. I don't think Fender's 15 watt offering stands up so well.

    I said Bassman before, meaning old school tweed Bassman. I had only had the chance to play through re-issues and computer models though. I still believe that a 59 Bassman is my choice, though now that I have a 4x10 Fender Concert, that amph is right up there. It is a bit in between a tweed voicing and a blackface voicing, and that can be a very good thing! Plus I actually get to play through it.

    I have a '66 Super Reverb that's quite bosstastic.

    And I have been VERY happy with my little Super Champ XD, which I've been playing weekly in church and with my side "hippie" band. Am playing it tonight for our praise team's first-ever concert, over in the fellowship hall, with live drums. So I'll line it out to a 2x12 w/my 50W Sovtek tube head.
