Cool! I'm seeing them used in the $400 range. Any idea what they weigh?

It is lighter than a NV400, for sure.
I don't know the number of pounds. It was made with a 12" Eminence speaker. Spring Reverb in the bottom, nice sound.
It has the tweed look. It has preamp out, power amp in.
I play my Strat thru it or, Stringmaster or, Custom T8. It can handle my U12 B6/E9 at low volumes, but I leave that work for the PVX300.

I have a Blues Deluxe, also. It sounds great at moderate volumes, but lacks sufficient headroom for pedal steel at the volume most gigs require. It sounds terriffic with a Fender Stringmaster. I think it weighs about 45 pounds. As far as I know, the current Hot Rod Deluxe is the same amp with an additional gain stage added.
