Hello everybody,
I bought a Delta about 6 weeks ago and love the sound. But the amp is way too loud, I even bought the power brake and I find it eats up quite a bit of the tone when I got it at a level that reduces the volume considerably. I am thinking of trading it for the 66.
A few questions, for those of you who have also played the delta:
How much of a volume difference is there? The delta is extremely loud, even at 9:00 it crunches...
Can still get the angus young open chord crunch with the 66? I use an rc booster, klon and joyride...
Any other significant differences anybody has noticed between these 2 amps??
It's really tough to choose, but i need to wear plugs if i wanna kick the tubes on the delta and i don't enjoy wearing plugs and using the airbrake at the same time...
Thanks!!
Chris from Montreal!

I never played the Delta 88 but my RT66 is very loud as well ... it starts to "crunch" around noon on the volume dial but at that point it's at ear-splitting volume (through my VHT 4x12). I took it to rehearsal and had to keep it lower then 9 o'clock because it was just blowing everything away. My buddy had a cranked 100W Peavey Valveking through a Doyle 4x12 and RT66 was louder.
I'd say you can definitely get a great AC/DC crunch with RT66.

The 66 is not going to be much of a difference. I find I can play mine with an airbrake on the setting just above bedroom and not lose much tone, and it's okay in the house. My wife disagrees. You might want to look at a carmen ghia or maz jr if you need a big change. The 66 will get the angus crunch though with just a little boost. It's an amazing sounding amp.

I have owned both & I would say the Delta was a Monster Amp!! The 66 will be a little less volume & if you use a single 12 cab you can get some great tones at lower volumes if you use a boost or OD pedal. The 66 will give you a little less sparkle than the Delta as well.
If you decide to sell the Delta, Let me know...I might be interested.
