My Deluxe Reverb is way too loud at breakup levels for most stage situations. That's why I use the Honey Bee on all the time.Instead of an always-on pedal for blackface-ish clean with hair, how about a blackface amp you can crank loud enough, like a Princeton Reverb or a Deluxe Reverb? Even the reissues are decent, if a little bright... and if the pedal is going to be always-on anyway you might as well just avoid a pedal altogether.
