Hi All,

this is my first post here, Jason show me this website a few weeks ago.

i wud like ur advice on the difference between fender HOT ROD deville 410 and BLUES deville 410?

I have just buy a Mesa/Boogie Subway and need sum info before i sell my BLUES 410.

Reason, landlord and flatmates don't like noise so i buy a small amp. is also very hard to carry the 410 up 5 floors!

thanks all!
James

Is there a straight 4x10 Deville? was it in Tweed,I only know of the Hot Rod model that is still available.
The rods are 3 channel,normal drive and more drive,60 watts and weigh around 50lbs.
The other 4x10 Fenders are from the vintage reissue series,Super Reverb,Bassman and Concert and range from 53lbs to 85lbs...........................it's sensible you're getting a Subway

yup i think the hot rod is the newer version of the blues deville.. comes in 2x12 or 4x10..

i hear they are great amps..

just buy an attenuator dude or plug in headphones, it does have a headphone input doesn't it?

Off the top of my head, the major change for the hot rods was the addition of an extra gain stage for a footswitchable 'more drive' option. I believe there were some minor circuit tweaks, as well.

And, of course, the black cosmetics, though there was a limited hot rod issue in tweed with better quality jensen speakers last year.
