Fender Hot Rod Deluxe With G&L Guitars
Bought a Hot Rod Deluxe last year at Christmas and have been loving it with my Comanche. I just bought a Legacy as well with the alnico pickups. Anybody have experience with these in a Hot Rod? What were your impressions with the guitar and amp (minus any effects)?

Good combination IMHO. My closest comparisons are a ASAT Z3 or Will Ray into a 1995 Fender Blues Deluxe and totally dig the tones. Closer to the Legacy match is an ASAT 3 with Lollar alnicos that sounds pretty sweet too. 
Hot Rods and Blues Deluxe have been used by so many people over the years because they are consistently good. Sounds like yer getting the same results.
Similar to to the YouTube clip from Rich I switched the 12AT7 for a JJ ECC81 and found a better volume sweep. Granted a EV12L speaker swap and cap update helped as well, but in general great guitar amp combination.
