Sins i am here at GMC i bought myself a Zoom G3 and using it mainly as interface for iMac and from there out to my Teufel concept - extern sound card and speakers .
Great sounding and perfect for me for exercising and recording .
My old Fender hot rod deluxe tube amp was just standing around unused in the room - now nearly a year .
I have been thinking about selling it - but NO i want now
Most of you now the hot rod is very good for clean sound and good for rock stuff and a bit harder.
Metal hmmm..........not the real one.
Today i did try now my Zoom G3 in front of my hot rod using different amp simulations WOW what a great fine tone and sound amazing for me and much more natural ( with the right fine settings ) than over Computer or Mac .
Hard metal too
Hot Rod is still a bit loud for at home but my neighbors must get through that now more often .
I love that Amp !

I use my Hotrod Deluxe for everything I record. I Just love the tone on these amps. You hit the nail on the head... with a distortion pedal in front you can really push the amp to get amazing sounds.
I was weary about buying one at first cause I heard you can't get much of a metal sound. I really wanted an amp though that had that beautiful Fender clean. I now use a old Ibanez Tube Screamer pedal with the amp. I can get a classic SRV sound on the clean channel with a tube screamer. Turn on the dirty channel and instant Maiden sound, Metallica...etc. That is all I ever wanted.
I'm selling my Hot Rod Deville, the big brother to your Deluxe
I haven't played it since I bought the Axe Fx, but it was the clean tone that sold me on it, and still if it was practical to keep it I would.
Peter Green actually used my amp at a concert when his blew up during soundcheck,
I don't know if you deluxe is the same but they used the wrong type of potentiometer on the volume and so it goes through most of it's volume range between 0 and 2.
