  Caratteristiche

  The Fender Hot Rod Deluxe is a fairly standard amplifier featuring two channels, an onboard gain boost for the drive channel, reverb, an effects loop and 40 watts of power driven by a single Eminence speaker. It is powered by a pair of 6L6s in the power section and it is basically meant to offer a decent Fender clean coupled with a reasonable drive circuit for everything from crunch to higher octane tones. It's a very common backline amp and I've used them at numerous club and festival shows. It's a pretty loud amp like many Fenders and cuts through in a band mix quite well.

  Facilità d'uso

  Dialing in this amp for good tones is reasonable. It does suffer from a pretty awful sudden volume jump that can be a disadvantage when dialing in sounds. It has a fairly reasonable EQ and reacts as it should to control adjustment. The tones themselves are decent. I find this amp sounds a bit anemic due to the single speaker configuration. I've had better luck with the 4x10 Hot Rod Deville which has a punchier attack to my ears. It has a pretty good range of tones from clean to high gain and despite sounding a bit thin it can be made to be a great workhorse amp.

  Suono

  This amp sounds at home with a variety of different guitars and in a variety of musical contexts. It has a great classic Fender clean sound that gets great sparkle and clarity especially with a single coil loaded guitar like a Strat or Tele. The crunch tones have a great raw energy to them that is right at home with a Les Paul or ES335. The highest gain tones have a nice open airy quality but can be prone to buzziness at uber high gain. It's not an amp that was built with metal styles in mind but it does sound good for classic or hard rock, especially if boosted.

  Opzioni Generali

  All in all I think the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe is a decent workhorse amp for some looking for a versatile amp with good clear Fender cleans and a reasonable drive tone. They can be had for about $500 used which is a fair deal. I'm not the biggest fan of the single speaker layout but it works well enough for what it is.

  This seemed to be a great gigging amp - small and compact, didn't weigh too much, and looked great. The sounds were killer, and very easy to dial in. I could get great country, blues, jazz, and old time rock sounds out of it with no problem. Metal would be a bit harder to achieve - it took me getting out my dirt boxes to find a usable metal tone. But the drive and more drive channels were still great for inspiring solo flights!

  Suono

  This amp sounds incredible. It has great, glassy, shimmery cleans with plenty of chime. And the dirty channels are pretty smooth - a bit hairy, but can be tamed by swapping preamp tubes for other manufacturer's products. The reverb is as good as you'd find on any amp, and the EQ section is sensitive, yet highly usable.
  
  
  
  I played these amps with all kinds of guitars - Strats, Teles, Les Pauls, 335s, shredder guitars, and they all sounded great, but like themselves - the amp is transparent. And it takes pedals very well also. The sound of this amp is nothing to sneeze at.

  Opzioni Generali

  The Fender Hot Rod Deluxe is a marvelous idea in theory, but in practice, the amp is bound to make you rip your hair out of your head. In using PCB construction methods, Fender is able to have a well-designed circuit be manufactured and sold for a very low price.
  
  
  
  The problem is in the design - the tube sockets are mounted directly ON the PC board. What happens with tubes when you turn a tube amp on? They heat up. And heat is the enemy of solder traces, resistors, and capacitors - the heat from the tubes caused short circuits in my two HRD amps a total of four times, with the last two ending in literal smoke.
  
  
  
  If you want a great sounding amp that you're ok with throwing away in a few short years, by all means, get this amp. It is the opposite of durable due to its fatal design flaw.

  Caratteristiche

  There are a couple new features in the Hot Rod Deluxe that are very important to me. The first one being that speaker that is standard is actually usable. They used to have some cheap speaker in there that wasn't very musical and a lot of guys would switch out the speaker for something much more sweeter in tone. The next feature is a usable gain channel two and three. Before the gain channels were so bad that I never even used them. They sounded terrible and nothing like a tube amp distortion.

  Suono

  Now that they have a usable gain channel then this amp has much more flexibility that before. The old amps were just outright sloppy. The bad thing is that these amps are made in Mexico. So they are going to be cheaper made and will break down on you a lot quicker. I'm not sure if they fixed the jewel light from going out on this model. Everyone who owned this amp knows that the light always goes out on these things.
  
  
  
  Anyway, use this amp with any nice guitar. I like this amp with a solid Gibson Les Paul. I used it with a Line 6 Dl4 and a Ibanez Ts9 and I had some great tones that cut through the band quite well.

  Opzioni Generali

  If you are on the market for a good tube amp that has two moderate low gain but usable gain then this might be the amp for you. That is if it is the newest model. The older models had an unusable dirty channel.
  
  
  
  I would recommend getting this amp is you need a decent clean amp that has a good tone for pedals. I gigged a lot with my amp but always ran pedals in front of it. The other two channels were pointless. If you need distortion then don't get this amp. However I would never buy this amp since its made in Mexico. For the price of this amp I would buy a used Marshall JCM2000. At new these amps come in at around $700. You can even pick up a Peavey 5150 for the price of this thing.

  I think, nay... I believe we are all guilty of shopping for guitar equipment with our eyes, rather than our ears. And I am particularly bad when it comes to this.
  
  
  
  Whatever manufacturer has placed most blue LED lights on their products, receives a framed letter with my credit card details for use at their discretion.
  
  
  
  Having said that, something caught my eye with the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Having gone through numerous amounts of slightly embarrassing set-ups, I decided to try something more plain. And I am so glad I did.
  
  
  
  I simply can not make this 40W combo sound bad (in terms of a template for me to noodle over... My playing is another issue).
  
  
  
  Anything I plug in sounds lush...

  Suono

  The HRD (or "Simpleton" as I like to call it) has quickly become MY amp.
  
  
  
  I need to cover a variety of different styles from Beyonce and Lady Gaga to Blind Faith and Muddy Waters (and everything in between), and utilising a bunch of different amps and set-ups just isn't viable.
  
  
  
  So instead, I have what I would describe as "The Working Musicians Rig" :
  
  
  
  Fender HRD
  
  Guitar (whichever suits the band the best)
  
  Pedal board consisting of a TC Electronics Nova System, TC PolyTune, Cry Baby, Volume...
  
  
  
  I am so happy!
  
  
  
  Now with this I can get great tones for whatever the night may require, and I can get them fast.
  
  
  
  The HRD really just lets you mould your sound into the amp, rather than forcing you in another direction.
  
  
  
  The clean channel is to die for, and the overdrive channel is usable (although you will get much better results using pedals into the clean).

  Opzioni Generali

  What I like most about it is the versatility the clean channel offers. I have plugged numerous amounts of pedals into the front end, and it has yet to respond badly to any of them.
  
  
  
  I can go from an Eric Johnson style smooth lead, using i.e.:
  
  
  
  Any glassy OD pedal
  
  MXR Carbon Copy (plus some reverb from the amp)
  
  
  
  to full on death using i.e.:
  
  
  
  Blackstar Blackfire.
  
  
  
  This is worth the price of admission alone (and lets be honest... It's a cheap amp).
  
  
  
  The dirty channel is not overly impressive, but I have yet to meet someone who buys a Fender amp for it's distortion. Still... This could be improved.
  
  I will hold my hand up now, and plead guilty to mistreating my HRD. Constantly being thrown in and out of trunks, clubs, home, rehearsal rooms, etc... It has worked up a few cosmetic "flaws", but has never once failed me (knock on wood).
  
  
  
  I would definitely recommend this combo to anyone who needs something that delivers night after night, and lets YOU decide how YOU want to sound.
  
  
  
  PS: You won't find a better clean channel out there.

  Caratteristiche

  This is a pretty solid tube amp. It has two channels, one clean, one distorted. The distorted channel has the option of switching between a crunch and a more powerful heavy distortion. There are two 1/4" inputs and an external speaker output. I don't think the speaker out is very necessary, because the speakers in this combo are fantastic. There's about 40 watts on this baby. It has a 3-band EQ, plus controls for volume for each channel, a gain knob on the dirty channel, a master volume and a reverb and presence knob.

  Facilità d'uso

  I like the sounds that you can get from this amp. It's almost perfect for rehearsing with a large band as you don't need to set up a huge pedalboard to really get the sound you need for songs. The dirty channel is surprisingly and refreshingly versatile. There aren't any effects other than reverb and distortion, so don't expect much in that way. The manual is pretty much unnecessary but it's at least there if you need it.

  Suono

  I think that the clean tone on this amp is pretty awesome, if not phenomenal. Most Fender amps are usually pretty solid. I don't think there are many people who would be totally satisfied with the dirty tone on this amp. Functionally, it can cover a lot of stylistic ground from classic and country-rock to hard rock like Guns n' Roses. But it doesn't really compete with a Marshall stack or a good pedal. I'm sure that using the dirty channel in combination with a good pedal could result in some fantastic sounds. I think overall, though, that the dirty channel is weak. If you're just looking for the tube sound, I'd say go with a twin, it sounds better.

  Opzioni Generali

  This amp is definitely a case of function over form. The tones work for rehearsals, like I said before. I wouldn't record anything with this amp, though. I also wouldn't really want to perform live with it. This might be good for up-and-comers more than seasoned vets. Think about that when purchasing.

  Caratteristiche

  If you consider the price this amp is the perfekt tube amp for blues guitarists. The amp is relatively light weight, very practical, looks nice and contains the full power of tubes.

  Facilità d'uso

  This is a basic tube amp combo. As long as you don't overuse the highs there should be no problem to the get the sound you are looking for. For Overdrive or Distortion use a pedal and don't think about using the built in reverb with a setting higher than 4.

  Suono

  It has a very warm tone with a lot of mids. The spring reverb Fender tends to build into these models just sounds very washy to me...I don’t like. In the upper frequency range the amp unfortunately sounds a bit too edgy.

  Opzioni Generali

  Still I have to say that this amp is to me the best choice in its price range – especially when it’s being used as a good sounding power amp with speakers (meaning that the true sound character comes from the pedal board). It is equally suited for guitarists who are looking for a nice, warm clean sound.

  (Originally written by /translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  
  
  This is an all-tube amp (original Groove Tube, 3 x 12AX and 2 x 6l6B!) ))
  
  It delivers 40 W and you can trust me, we are talking real watts and they are really 40, not a single watt less!
  
  The amp has two low-impedance and high-impedance inputs, one preamp output, one power amp input, a footswitch connector, and an additional output for an 8-Ohm speaker. The Clean channel has an input volume control, and shares a (super effective) 3-band equalizer with the Drive channel which has its own drive and volume controls. The Drive channel can be set to the More Drive mode to get more saturation (it's not a Randall). A switch allows you to toggle between Normal and Bright modes (you get more attack in Bright mode). The reverb is superb, and a presence control allows you to color the sound at the end of the audio chain.

  Facilità d'uso

  Super easy to use
  
  The sound is exceptionally good
  
  The user manual (in English) is really simple
  
  I use it as a complement to a Marschall JCM 900

  Suono

  I tested it with all my guitars and effects, and it works pretty good with everything.
  
  It is definitely a blues amp. I love the following setup: Slimcaster (my custom guitar assembled with spare parts and equipped with a Texas Special set) > Fuzz Face > Vox wah

  Opzioni Generali

  I've been using it for six years now. I replaced the power tubes with KT66 this year and it sounds even better!
  
  The only problem I see is that it has too much power for my apartment
  
  I've used lots of amps and this one is true winner
  
  It's good value for money
  
  I would not hesitate recommending it
