Product description
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe is an all-tube amplifier that was released the first time in 1993, as an attempt to re-create the classic sound from the Bassman and Deluxe amplifiers from the 50's. It has a two channel system that shares a master volume and a nominated power of 40 W. (which nowadays say's actually nothing, since the manufactorers are selling 5W amps sounding like 50, and 100W amps sounding like 10) The amp has an sturdy construction, but is due to it's all-tube circuits pretty heavy-weight for it's size. (the transformer in all-tube amps, is what actually weights) The amp has an 12' inch Fender Eminence speaker, which Fender claims that should be equivivalent the old speakers. The amplifier section is built round three 12AX7-preamp tubes/ two 6L6 power amp tubes. There is also a spring-reverb in vintage style built-in. All jacks are on the top of the amp, except for the speaker jack that is located inside the box.
The equalizer section is common to the two channels, and consists of Bass,Middle,Treble + a presence control. There is a bright switch and "more drive" -switch as well as a channel-switch amongst the other controls. (the amp is delivered with a footswitch to handle this, though)
