    I've had a hot rod deluxe for a few years and I really like it. I need something with way less power b/c its crazy loud, but if you're looking for a loud clean blues amp, it'd be pretty good.

    I'd have to second the choice of either the Peavey Classic 30 or the Peavey Delta Blues 115 or 210. I've played all three, and own the 210. One of the sweetest amps available for what you're looking for. Check one out if you get a chance. I think it'll bring a smile to your face.

    A Delta Blues is on my short list as it has everything I'm looking for, but I'm not sure if I'd like the 210 or 115 better. Any particular reason you went with the 210 over the 115? I think they no longer make the 210, but it is still in stock at several shops.

    Tig, quite honestly, the local Peavey dealer only had the 210 in stock, and it was on sale for $499! That's how I came to own it. No decision between the two on my part. I can only imagine the 115 might have a warmer tone, but the 210 works for me (and, if you're into speakers at all, you know that a 15" will have a slower "rebound" time than a 10", although I doubt that is discernable to the human ear).

    As much as I love and use my Peavey Delta I am really impressed by the Bugera V22. It sounds great by itself and also with my M13. I haven't tried it with conventional pedals yet. I probably wont because the M13 is all I use anymore.

    So far - I have a strong recommendation for the Bugera V22. It flat out sounds great and feels great. The master volume for both channels is a huge plus. The top end is sweet and clear and the bottom end is full and semi tight. Good but not the perfect JBL tight that I often prefer. A speak change? Maybe. I'll gig with it on Tuesday and get back to you on how it preformed.

    Right now it gets a huge ham fisted two thumbs up.

    Default A shocking decision

    I figured I'd post what I ended up buying on here. As i blasted the epiphone blues custom 30 in the first post with doubts on construction, having a fan, and the weight, I found one in the used section at the store when i went shopping. I wanted to try it out anyway and ended up taking it home. I don't believe it compares to the Egnator Rebel 30, but considering i took it home for dirt cheap, I am very happy with it's tone and performance.

    I decided a pricier amp purchase will have to wait until i feel like i can dispose of that kind of money with ease.... I appreciated everyone's replies. Its nice to be re-equipped with a proper amp :-D
