Re: Deluxe BF vs. SF
The BF uses a 5AR4 rectifier. The SF uses a 5U4 due to availability at the time and increased voltages to compensate for the voltage loss in the 5U4. Therin lies the difference. In one of my last bands one guitar player had a SF and the other a BF. They were pretty much interchangeable.
