I'm not sure of which one it is.
I know my brother had this one, and it was like the best amp I ever used.
I had never seen one with the whole "Fender Blues Deluxe" written on the front again. All the Reissues I've seen had only "Fender" written on it.
I would have to ask my brother about this.
And you're right, the Hot Rods aren't that great when you compare them with those amps.
But I do own a Blues Junior and it doesn't have a pointless OD channel like its bigger brothers and I think it is what makes it better and a bit cheaper... ^^ (I love this amp !)
