Atten: Guitarist - need your opinion

If he does get rid of it, the Hot Rod DeVille is a decent combo amp....I personally like either a Deluxe Reverb or Twin, but the Deville is nice...Depends on how you use it....For miking, a Deluxe is great...The Vox will have a little different tone, but one of those 2 you mentioned would be a pretty good amp.
