A tale of two amps

[StonCuld]

Looking for some advice on choosing between two Fender amps. One is a early 70's Dual Showman Silverface that has been mounted in a twin cabinet, new caps and tubes, evidentally the head cab was in bad shape, but he still has it. The second is a 212 Blues Deville later model with pcb boards, but not sure on exact year of either. I can aquire either for the same trade. I am leaning toward the Dual Showman, but wanted to ask some people who really know this stuff.

No question in my mind which to choose, the Silverface Dual Showman (by far)!

+1 on Dual Showman. It will take pedals well and will be infinitely easier to service or tweak if you are so inclined. Snag the original cabinet as well if you can.

I am going to get the cab if I can, even if I have to use it as a pattern this amp will be back in a at least new cab to original specs. I am glad to hear it takes pedals well. I am looking into a good flange, and delay setup.
