Who are you? I mean, seriously, buddy, you rock!!!!!! Unbelievable! I am just considering buying this amp - correction - I was, but now I just gotta get it, thanks to you! Keep playing!
Willy, How are you brother? I'm mangling a 96 American Lonestar at present.
I've gone through 2 Hot Rod Devilles so far, (black series III, and the new limited edition Red October w/the Red Coat Wizard speakers). Both were 4/10's. They were decent sounding (as you have demonstrated), but
brother, you ain't seen nothing yet! If you get the chance, plug into Fender's
new 65 Twin Reverb Custom 15! (has the single 15" speaker). You'll be hooked for LIFE!
Hi Willy, I was considering a Fender Eric Johnson rosewood stratocaster and am wondering about your opinion of it compared to your G&L. When you said you had it made for you, did you have modifications done? Not many places around here carry the G&L line. Do you highly recommend the Legacy HB for blues and rock? Also, what pick ups are you using currently in your G&L?
@1FenderGibson It really is a matter of preference.Both are good guitars.I did have mine made for me, it took about 3 months for me to get it.But it is basically a good Ol Strat..haha. The neck on the G&L feels smaller to me than Fenders necks, more nicely rounded, I like small necks though. I use Fender Noiseless Pickup in neck,Dimarzio Area 58 in middle, Seymore Duncan HB in bridge as of current. Thanks friend, and good luck with your guitar choices :-)
You are amazing and need to be known by everyone! This is truly just a stock G&L (what model) straight into the Hot Rod Deville 4 10? No FX or anything else? No doubt, most of it must all be in your fingers and soul!
Some people establish a talent and build it up to a point where it peaks and they plateau, some select few are born with a God given ability that is groomed into limitless possibilities, you my friend appear to be among those select few!! Keep layin down the lycs and workin what God gave you, its not the fingers but rather the soul playing that guitar and brotha.... you got soul!!

dearrrrrrrr lordddddd!!! .you are my favorite guitarist on youtube. could you plz plz do some licl lessons on here plz???? i want to play like you man
Thanks! I found it on guitar center's website a ways back. On my website there is a link for free backing blues tracks also. Go to my channel to find the link. :-)
Hey man amazing playing! I'm thinking about buying either a hot rod deville 212 or a blues deluxe and i was just wondering if you could give me your opinion on the two, it would be greatly appreciated . Thanks!
If you use pedals for heavier stuff and you need the extra power the 2x12 Deville may be suitable. If like the natural sound of the amp(no pedals) and need the extra volume the 4x10 Deville sounds great. Deluxe 1x12, is a little lighter/smaller (portable) but the sound is very good and is still very loud, it takes pedals well.The sound of all of these amps are ballpark similar. But the best thing to do is try them all out to see what you like best.Deluxe is my best fit.Thanks!
Thanks for your reply. I've watched all your videos now. Pro standard fretboard work and played with great feeling and commitment. If your not a professional, you should be ! I've been playing 45 years on and off so I know a good player when I see one. At present I'm using a Clapton Strat with the vintage noiseless pickups. Getting some rally great sounds via a BlackStar Series One 100 watt head and Marshall 4X10 cab. Only using reverb and dealy on the FX side. Take care old mate, Pete (UK)
I liked the sound you squeezed out of that G & L. Your amp has an SRV quality to it that always reminds me of the "Texas Blues" sound that so many good players strive to duplicate. Well done! Hope to see you playing somewhere other than You Tube .
Dude, very, very, very nice playing! I own a Hotrod Deville too, but I can't get it to sound that good.. What's your secret? Or which pickups do you use?
Grate vid you have real talent.I realy love blues and im thinking of buying this amp but i some times play some hard rock so do you think is a good idea to buy a MXR Dist+ to have enough distortion for this?
Me personally,For the Blues I do not like to put ANYTHING between the guitar and the amp.If you really prefer the blues but at times want to jam to rock or metal I would buy what I feel is the best blues amp for yourself and for hard rock times use any peadal you want or own more than one amp.
@willyboogerblues I'm contemplating buying a Hot Rod DeVille, hence the questions. 2 more; did you use a power attenuator here, and also, a 2X12 or a 4X10 configuration? Nice jams! Thanks again--
No attenuator here, I have the 4x10. I have played on both and I think for what I play which is mainly blues, the 4x10 is way more suitable. The 2x12 feels like a tighter response and seemed to take away some of the warmth I like. If I were buying this to play hard rock and metal mainly, I would get the 2x12. For Blues, For sure The 4x10. Thanks!
I do not remember all the settings. I used the regular drive. In the v2 position I liked the Jan Philips 5751 to tame the distortion making it tighter. G&L neck PU. Straight into the amp. Thanks!
sweet willy - what was your setup going into the amp - I have one and really like it with vintage tubes 5157s and a Mesa V-Twin in front of the clean channel
@willyboogerblues I just got some JAN 6V6s and wow do they work well in the deville. The clean channel can really spank now I have RCA black plate 5751s in both V1 and V2, I will use a 12ax7 in V1 if I need more volume. Volume level is much more usable for smaller venues. Both drive and more drive really sing too.
@bebop4u Awesome! I have heard 6v6's work great in that amp, just set the Bias for sure. I have used yellow jacket adapters to use el84s and it worked Great! I recorded at a big studio with that on the clean channel wide opened with an attenuator and it recorded great! Thanks for commenting!
Hey Will, can't believe I missed replying to this! You've done a super fabulous job on this. Love it a lot, and I love your new web site. Very informative, and insightful.
did not know you, I play the video to hear something while doing other things with the computer, after a while came back and said "but hey, it's a video of someone famous? who is this guy ?!?!"
That right there, my friend,is the kind of stuff that makes me want to keep on playing my guitar just for the joy of playing and absolutley nothing else. Awesome!
You should really look into setting up a band and doing festivals. We have one here in cincinnati called "The Cincinnati Blues Festival"(so original!) of acts from around the country and I guarantee you'd do great there.
Hey Willy this is Jay from your session today at Full Sail... Awesome job today and Ive been listening to your songs here on youtube and I truly love them and your style. Keep it up.
