Hi Martin,
jetzt noch mal kurz für mich zum Verständnis. Ist der (einzige) wesentliche Unterschied zwischen Deluxe und Deville die Spannung die an den Endstufenröhren anliegt? Dann wären die Amps also tatsächlich identisch aufgebaut, aber unterschiedlich elektisch beschaltet. Oder hab ich dich falsch verstanden? Ich will nicht bezweifeln, dass das den Sound beeinflusst - mir hat der Deluxe nur nicht gefallen und ich würde dringend dazu raten den Deville vor einem Blindkauf mal zu testen - allerdings, wenn man deinen Ausführungen folgt wohl besser das Original und keinen Deluxe.

"What's the difference between the Hot Rod Deluxe and Deville?
I once heard someone say, "the Deville is just a Deluxe with more speakers." Not totally true, but closer to the truth than you probably think. In fact, the Deluxe and Deville are so similar that Fender uses the exact same printed circuit board (PCB) for both models. The Deville's preamp, reverb, effects loop, and phase inverter are all exactly the same as the Deluxe's. So any Deluxe mods done to any of these parts can also be done to the Deville. On first glance even the poweramp has a truly uncanny resemblence, though it's actually slightly different.
The main difference between these amps is the power supply, which handles 50 more volts than the Deluxe's power supply. This change dictates almost every other anomaly of the Deville. Naturally, the power transformer is a different model, as one of the secondaries must put out the higher voltage. The filter circuit has more caps to handle the higher voltage, and a few bleeder resistors are employed to help drain residual voltage once the amp is turned off. The output transformer is different, as it needs to handle 60 watts, and it has an additional 2 ohm tap which is only used by the 4x10 model. The bias circuit is filtered a little more to reduce hum, and the +/- 16V supply (powers the effects loop, channel switching, and reverb) uses the better 330 ohm power resistors instead of 470 (R78, R79). Finally, as you've probably guessed, the Deville has more speakers that together can handle 60 watts. "
