Fender Review: Hot Rod Deluxe

History:

Purchase: Bought it new, paid $559.00, which to me is a steal for any tube amp.I was looking for a good clean amp, distortion can be bought in a box.

What I Like About This Fender Hot Rod Deluxe: The best clean sound I have ever heard. This amp finally gives my strat the ability to show its real tone.The look of the amp is excellent and the controls with the the drive and more drive give me plenty of growl.I noticed that you have to run the volume at around "3" to get the true tone of the amp.My amp is being mic'd so there is no need for anything else but what this amp has to give.

What I Do NOT Like About The Fender Hot Rod Deluxe: Whats not to like about it

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Quality Rating: Top notch workmanship visually appealing, and of course its a Fender so you know your getting the best.

Review Summary: If you are looking for a great clean sound and you don't need heavy distortion but like that vintage crunch this is the amp for you. I just wish I had the cash to get another so i can run stereo.I play mostly classic rock with some blues and this amp is just what I needed. Bottom line is, that if God played guitar he would play through this amp.
