The Python Ltd Ed Hot Rod Deluxe is a great amp for gigging. Especially blues players will enjoy the way the amp breaks up when driven. The Vintage 30 speaker does wonders for the tone. This amp is as at home in the studio as it is onstage. It takes pedals very well. With a few simple adjustments, this amp sits well in the mix. It can hold its own. I did add a volume pedal in order to keep the tones of a driven tube amp at bedroom volumes. It works great and helps with tone vs volume situations at gigs. I do plan to do some mods to get the tone as close to perfect as it can get. Out of the box, it still sounds great after speaker break-in time.

The amp comes with reverb. Anything else you might need can be satisfied with your favorite pedals. It also comes with a footswitch for selecting channels and grind and more grind. The reverb tank is covered with vinyl. And it comes with a Fender cover. Fender provides an amp that delivers a range of tones that should satisfy players of all styles except maybe heavy metal. It will take pedals to get the gain needed for heavy metal, so it could be used for that also.

This is a classic Fender amp and has the same classic ease of use. You won't be doing any deep editing on this amp.

It's a classic Fender designed amp. Do I really need to say more? Trust it. Gig it. That's what it's made to do. And it's made well.

These amps are a great bang for the buck. I believe that Fender amps hold as good resale value as any other mass produced amps out there today.

I have needed no contact with support. Therefore, I have no experience with them.

You can't get much more Rock N Roll attitude than a python covered amp. It has great sex appeal. The Vintage 30 gives it the tone it's looking for. Plus it is extremely practical based on its supreme performance. And the ladies dig it!
