With our heads bowed toward the grassy green earth, we thank you with smiles aplenty!

It's absolutely true that I've played it rather aggressively; had to make an acoustic fill an entire room. Had I had a fellow musician with me - or even just a speaker available for amplification, it would have been approached very differently :)

@@MadsBoldingMusic y fair enough

Thanks man! :)

Thank you so much Anna! More will come :)

Jazz, waffles, tea... perfect for you, perfect for me

Thank you so much! Brings a smile to my musical evening to have you pop in a bit of joy like that :)

It's a great little track; just a shame it disappeared from youtube, otherwise I'd have linked you up! Thank you good sir, and have a lovely day :)

Thank you for being you, Valerii :))

Oh, Anna! Your response time truly is a marvel of precision :) Thank you for your kindness, your goodness, your musicality - og tak fordi du er DIG! Jeg skal nok skrive og synge mere på dansk, tro mig. Vi har meget musik at nå endnu!

Thank you Anna - this too can be yours!

Making your day is my mission ^^

This is deeply appreciated, you lovely lad!

I'm actually on that old book of faces; just look up - Mads Bolding Music

Det kommer du til - før end du aner! :) Men først skal jeg have kigget på dit spil ;)

And this particular Captain will supply any waffles that may be desired... for gaming, for playing, for loving the music between all worthy of the waffle!

May our musical journey be life-long and filled with fantastic surprises :)

Thank you so much sir! Those are high praises, and I'm hoping you'll feel considerably cheered on from Scandinavia!

Thank you mr.! It does shine with a simple pedal setup. Big sounding distortions and fuzzes won't do well (lack of headroom), but stick a simple delay and some modulation in front of it, and you'll have plenty of fun. It's a simple thing for a simple sound. I've often found myself using it as a second amp for a stereo rig to get that 10 inch sound in there :)

That is such a delight to hear, because driving is indeed what I'd love for this music to be!

@@MadsBoldingMusic definitely super feeling!!

@@AnnaGlaid And we'll keep on improving it in all the ways we can!

@@MadsBoldingMusic I'm sure without any doubt 💜

Thank you so much Anna - for always believing in my music and for unwaveringly being there in the ways that matter. More things here and there will certainly come, and I hope that you'll like the live performances coming your way in the weeks to come - from all sorts of concerts with all sorts of repertoires :)

@@MadsBoldingMusic hugs your way and good luck with your music 🎶

@@AnnaGlaid Hugs your way - please invent teleportation if you have a bit of spare time. Could come in handy :)

Thank you so much - and have a lovely summer!

It was bloody good fun once I figured out what I was doing! I'd be down with more such pedal projects in future... should the good folks at JHS decide to try this again ^^

Thank you so much! May your day be continuously joyful :)

Thank you my friend :)

Thank you for all you do!

The Hot Rods were supremely common in the most recent decades compared to the Reverbs, and that is why they now saturate the used market. I think the Hot Rods are worthwhile amps - I owned mine for many years and really got to know it well. Having had relatively little experience with the Deluxe Reverbs, I can say only general things. I find them closer to a vintage sound, whereas the Hot Rods have a more modern circuitry. Both can get pretty much any job done in terms of pedal platforms in pop, soul and RnB and the traditional sounds in blues, country, jazz and so on. For rock music, I may prefer the Reverb a bit because of the slightly more old school design of the amp. What I really like about the Hot Rod series is that their clean sounds feel relatively compressed without breaking up too much, and I demonstrate this to some degree here. This may also be the case for your Reverbs, but I have too little experience with them live to say this with confidence. A major downside to the Hot Rods as highlighted by commenters on this very video is that their circuits have some inherent flaws that need addressing for long term duty. It's most likely that any used amp you buy won't have been modified to remedy these issues (PCB degradation, capacitor leaking and such) and that an amp tech would need to do the part replacements you need. A new one certainly will have this issue albeit with more years before it'll be a serious concern. To my knowledge, the Deluxe Reverb does not have such issues. Either way, I hope this little breakdown helps you in some way, and may you have a great day sir

The power scaling works pretty well (I typically increase the tone knob a little with each step down, since lower volumes acoustically seem less trebly). Heavy overdrive is not the natural habitat for this amp, but a light crunch will pleasingly come rather quickly with humbuckers/P90's. Simply plug your reverb and chorus into the front, and let your LP sing :))

@@MadsBoldingMusic Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Your opinion helps a lot. Thanks!!!

- and at the same time it also taps into just how fun it is to play

That's a good tip! Actually I sold this particular one, but I did pass it by a solid0 amp tech for a general checkup, so I'm hoping that he will have addressed what you describe. I still do have an old US made '96 Blues Deluxe which I love with all my heart - do you happen to know if that generation of amps have similar issues? The design is of course similar, but the devil's in the details as you no doubt will know :)

​@MadsBoldingMusic Yes, that will have the same issues, they're all very similar. Also if the filter capacitors and more importantly the bias capacitors haven't been replaced in it, they're over due. If the bias caps fail you'll loose your power tubes and possibly the output transformer. Here's a video that outlines some issiues with these amps. ruclips.net/video/E3QLMz634lc/видео.htmlsi=dAol7FjEdGuYy7Q9

@@soapboxearth2 Since it has had several owners before myself, I'd say that they probably have been, but I'll definitely take it in for a checkup later this year and bring up what you mention. Thank you so much :))

They just WORK

Thank you good sir! :)

Your words are cream to my strawberries

Thank you so much Anna - and I hope you'll be happy to work with me in future :)

Thank you so much, my good man! This is my first country ballad. What style of song would you like to hear from me next?

I'd really like to see you do a GNR cover :D

​@@awesomemccool7285 What an interesting little seed you've planted in my imagination! It'll be fun to see what it grows into :)

So you're actually considering to do it? It would be so freaking awesome with your fantastic playing!

@@awesomemccool7285 I'm hearing a 12-string acoustic doing Paradise City, and it makes me smile ^^

Thank you so much, good sir! One of these days, I'll do an update on this in its proper context: A wet/dry DI rig

Haha! Thank YOU, good sir!

Thanks :) It's an AKG P220 put slightly off axis from the speaker. It's great for acoustics too.

Now, THIS is how you give a compliment! Thank you, good sir :)

Thank you my well-opinionated sir :)

Thank you so much! What tunes should I cover next?

Thank you dear Anna :)

It's a wonderful little lyric!

These words are a balm upon my soul this morning. Thank you
