And i tryed 2 models in a store, Fender blues reissue deluxe and fender Hot rod Deluxe. Does anyone one of you have some experience of these amps? Or is there some other good amp i should look for? I dont put so much weight on built in effects, i am rather looking for a good "clean" sound. All help appreciated You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

However, I don't have any experience with the other one so I can't give a fair comparison. I also hear that the Marshall DSL401 is really good, but will cost a few hundred (USD) more than the Fender HRD. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think you would have to mic it for a gig though... john You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Loud as in, I've never put it above 4 on the clean or dirty channel (it goes up to 12 on both) and I'm in a band with a VERY loud drummer. Even at 4 it drowns out everyone else. It's strange though, because there's a really big volume gap between 1 and 2, so at one it's good for playing in your bedroom but at 2 it's almost loud enough for a band situation. I should also add that I've never seen someone disappointed in the HRD. I personally run a Gibson SG Special -> Behringer Hellbabe Wah -> EHX Big Muff Pi (the HRD dirty channel is a bit muddy for perfectionists like me) -> Boss GE-7 (goes great with the Muff) -> Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and it's the best my rig has ever been. Really hope all this helps. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Really hope all this helps. yes i noticed that is were very loud when i tryed one. I also noticed that the built in drive was not that good ( i guess im a perfectionist too ) Good to hear it works good with external effects, i will probobly use that. But i have decided to go for the blues deluxe, the difference is not that big really (basicly the same amp), but i liked the sound a little bit more.
