I've enjoyed my DG30 custom so much  I was looking for another of Doug Sewell's masterpieces .  The Blue Sierra was one of the initial models from PRS Custom Amp Dept . This is the model Derek Trucks plays .  50w hand wired EL 34 ( can run 6L6's) with a 2x12 that has seperate jacks (custom) so you can run it as a single 12 /share the cab with another amp or run both ..  Just love the Paisley ...

Well, if it sounds as good as it looks, should be a winner! Interesting setup on the cab with being able to run as single or pair.

Doug Sewell is obsessed with tone and has the freedom to chase it

The Blue Sierra is a close back , it just arrived  ...VERY clean Texas  blackface Super Reverb tone  if you plug straight in . Much more sparly than the DG30 , as Grissom doesn't like bright amps as he's a bridge pickup guy

If you keep the Master low and dime the volume you get outrageous thick fuzz , bring the master up a bit and it gets ferocious. 

For the Curious the pedal board : Xotic Sweet Sauce booster->Fender MTG Tube Distortion (old school) -> Keely Dark Side->Boss Auto-Wah -Keeley Hooke Reverb-: TC Stereo Chorus/Trem/Flanger -> split path 1 DG 30 / path 2 Trex Quint octave pedal set with 50% 1 octave down, 25% 5th to Blue Sierra

Very fun to stack the gains of the first 3 stages as the Dark side has a wicked fuzz I have set to full range (vs scoop /flat) .. Santana in a box at bedroom volumes
It also has phase/univibe/flange/leslie/delay that are quiet fun , the Hooke has Univibe/reverb and Trem /verb settings .. stacking the univibes is wild! 

Kick in the quint ( which I typically use for fiddle to add "reediness) and it sounds SO wicked.

Thanks folks , had a local artist play through it and the smile would put a chesire cat to shame .. She loved the H535 through it. 

 

Yes Bolero , The Dark Side fuzz on the right side  ( Flat/Full/Scoop toggle)  on the other side  it has Flange/Rotary   Delay   and Phaze / Univibe.  The DG30 loves the overdrive pedals , the Blue Sierra has so much gain they are completley wasted. 

The rotary switch goes from one effect to the other for the dual sounds, in the middle you get a bit of both ... a very cool pedal .   Stacked univibes  ( with the Hooke ) is just cool 4 days    there's a button up top if you run both effects you can chose fuzz pre or post
