Other features include FX loop, Fender long-spring reverb, external speaker jack, internal variable bias control, 2-button 3-function channel footswitch, chrome panel with vintage pointer knobs, black textured vinyl covering and silver grille cloth.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Taming the Hot Rod Deluxe"

Sound: I have found the perfect volume regulator for the Hot Rod Deluxe: Get an ART Tube MP original($30.00) or V3($70.00) and put it in the effects loop of the amp. The effects loop does not color the tone, and you have a low voltage tube volume reducer with no noise and a great sound. The amp is very versatile, and Fender did a great job of matching the volume of the drive and more drive channels. Feature: Mine came with footswitch and cover. The HRD is a compact versatile amp. Ease of Use: With volume, treble, middle, reverb, and presence, you can dial in any sound you need. Quality: The only trouble I have had is a power tube that went bad, which is normal for tubes. Overall: This amp is great. I will keep it permanently.

"my new friend"

Sound: The clean channel on this amp is excellent. I play alternative and hard rock-the drive channels arnt good for rythm guitar but really nice for lead or soloing. specialy the more drive channel. i havn't gigged with this amp yet (i've only had it for about a week) but i've practiced with my band. this amp is LOUD, i'm broke from buying the amp but i suggest getting a weber load dump. thats what i'm going to do as soon as i save up the money (75$). for now i run my digitech RP300 through the effects loop (for use as a volume pedal). Its not as good as the weber load dump but it'll do for now. I use my digitech for rythm distortion and use the amps drive for soloing, i suggest doing something like that if you're into hard rock or metal. the amp sounds great with pedals. The reverb on this amp is awsome. A+ I have it on around 2-3 all the time. Feature: Nothing fancy, simple but gets the job done. Presense control is an avantage and really helps getting a good sound. Bright button is also good. the pedal is really good because it allows you to switch between clean and more drive without having to press the drive button twice. Quality: usual fender quality. I expect to grow old with this amp. Make sure you get a cover for this amp...so incase you do one day want to sell it, little cratches and stuff won't bring down its price. yeah, i know some people are just shallow like that. Value: great price! a tube amp for this little. the only thing you have to take in account before you buy is the cost a weber load dump or a good distortion pedal, if you play the kind of music i do. Manufacturer Support: I've never had to deal with fender, don't think i ever will. i purchased a two year warantee from guitar center just to be safe though. The Wow Factor: I really like having the controls on top because then i don't have to crouch to adjust them. Overall: eventually i want to get a marshall stack (when my band becomes rich and famous) till then, this amp is great. The clean sound is great. Eventually maybe i'll exeriment with different tubes to get a harder distortion but for now its great. jazz, blues, rock this amp does it all

Style of Music: Alternative/Hard rock
