"For an amp I have a Fender Blues Deville and I bought that in 1998. I had used Fender Twins and Bassmans prior to that. I really thought it would be a nice amp that I could beat up a bit on the road and I think it’s turned out to be much more than that. Sometimes we rent backline and I would pick a Fender amp with a similar sounding name and the Blues Deville is far and away much better than all of them."

The Fender Blues DeVille is one of two amps John Bortnick uses. “Normally, I just like it a little clean, but on the road we use rental amps mostly, and I put down what I want. I either use a Twin or a Blues DeVille, or something like that.” (18:50)
