Good luck. And Ill say, lastly, EVERY time I a/b the princeton and the blues deluxe for ANYBODY( and I mean from my studio owner to my non- musical friends)- they all say the blues deluxe sounds like crap. I compare them at lower volumes than the 40 watt BD would prefer, so it shows even more. But when I turn the princeton way down... It still sounds good.
I think you are on the right track with the Pro Jr. or something comparable. The only time I recommend a blues deluxe is for club gigging. And even then its ONLY if you can't afford anything better.
I post more on this than I normally would because once I bailed the blues deluxe, I felt cheated for all the wasted time I used it! It really pays to find a tone you LOVE.... worth saving for.
