In Judges chapter 6, is Gideon speaking with an angel or with God Himself?

ASV Judges 6:14 And Jehovah looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian: have not I sent thee?

With Jehovah Himself.

 

[Peairtach]

It was God the Son, the Word, the revelation of the Father, in a "Theophany/Christophany" as the Angel of the Lord before His incarnation.

He was the Angel of the Lord, not an Angel of the Lord. I.e. References to "the angel of the Lord" in the Bible aren't always to the Lord God appearing as an angel. Sometimes it's just an ordinary angel.

E.g.

And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. (Matt 28:2)
