History:
Purchase: Back in 1999, I purchased this awesome amp from Guitar Center here in Dallas, Texas. I needed a good amp to go to the studio with. I managed to get a Guitar Center credit card and I went shopping!! I don't remember exactly, but I paid approximately $750 for this amp, and it is worth every penny!!!!
What I Like About This Unit: I previously had a Marshall 15 watt amp. Don't get me wrong, you have to love Marshall products, but I needed an bigger amp, and at the time I was REALLY getting back into the blues. This amp just totally kills me every time I turn it on. I have been looking for "MY" tone for a long time and I have to say that as far as my blues side - THIS IS IT!!!!! This amp has such a sweet clean tone, it also has that texas grinding distortion that I can play almost any type music with. I can get a full spectrum of tones with just my strat and this amp!!!
What I Do NOT Like About The Fender Hot Rod Deville 2x12: I wish it were a little easier to run an Amp Head to this amp to make an A/B switch between say a Marshall head and the Deville.
Maybe I'm a simpleton, but this would make for a great feature on this particular amp.
Otherwise this amp ROCKS!!!!!
Hot Rod Deville 2x12 Quality: This amp is like all Fender products - solid as a rock. I have dragged this amp to and from practice and gigs for over two years and the only 2 problems I've had is:
1) Burned out tubes
2) Power light for "ON" burned out - but amp still works great..
Summary: If you play blues, country, jazz, classic rock and the like - you will fall in love with this amp. If you play heavier music, which I do - you will have to get another amp or a pedal to go with it. All in all, this is the ultimate blues amp!
