    Fender Hot Rod DeluxePublished on 01/05/05 at 10:42
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    An all-tube amp with exceptional power of 40 watts that crushes many more powerful amps. 2 entries guitar and bribery by the instrument, an effects loop, a footswitch input. 1 x HP ......... (Perhaps to regret the lack of headphone jack). 2 channels 1 clean, 1 drive and more drive. Note the very good key that reveals the bright Fender sound and gives a beautiful glow on the clean channel ...
    Otherwise level knobs: volume, bass treble Meddle, drive, master, presence and reverb.

    UTILIZATION

    We plug his guitar (for me Start U.S. or epiphone LP) and his son right away ... you almost want to store the effects so the sound is already great ... The sound is clean simply floydienne .. …

    UTILIZATION

    We plug his guitar (for me Start U.S. or epiphone LP) and his son right away ... you almost want to store the effects so the sound is already great ... The sound is clean simply floydienne .. . masterful. To critics of the drive channel is on it's not metal, but with the Epiphone LP gives versatility and saturation to play real rock and moving solos with his solos and not true not large boiled as we hear the Saturday night concert in the coffee .... We can play the Jimi Page without problem.

    SOUNDS

    See above Ha ... I forgot the reverb is a wonder (there's job at Marshall ...)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it myself but for some it was a moment that I wanted ... Finance requires 935 Euros. I've tried a lot to be sure ... I would do the same choice without hesitation ...

    - What type of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)? Lamps
    - What is the power delivered? Super powerful but the sound is good at low volume as
    - What connection? just need c'qui
    - What are the settings, effects ...? very simple. an equation for all channels

    UTILIZATION

    - The configuration is simple? there's no easier
    - Do you get easily a good sound? Yes.
    - The manual is clear and sufficient? ... why?

    SOUNDS

    - Will it fit your style of music? No, I want an amp more heavy, but funk, blues, jazz and rock music is superb. More saturation grows well. But it's not a big sound

    - What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)? Its warm clear and precise (the best ever tested), great crunch and distortion messy (but very good for pop-rock)
    - What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? Like all sounds good but j'amerai a preamp or a pedal in addition to its heavy

    OVERALL OPINION

    A very good cheap amp for those who love this type of sound. Note that there is a protective cover. This is the best value I know.

    has noted that the amp is very compact but not so light as that. bie heard that BCP is more convenient than a stack but the presence of a single handle is a bit crippling I find (pr transporting 2). nevertheless the report peeps / power / space is diabolically conducive!

    SOUNDS

    I will not evoke the bcp clean sound, which, in the general opinion, is exceptional. So I just rajoutte my stone to the building.

    I will dwell on the cons by drive.
    jai bcp read that this amp was not a good drive channel, even sometimes it was execrable (???!!!)
    quite frankly, although I understand that he preferred the drive of his usual pedal, I do not think either of toerable claim that!
    Indeed, the drive is not like a DS1 or a Metalzone & Company ....
    and this is where lies its advantage! What good has a channel that will drive sound the same way that most of the pedal now sold most ????? Me I use a Visual Sound AVC H j and the first version, and the complementarity is excellent. In addition, if you want a good overdrive grainy mess even a bit depending on the settings .... the more drive channel will amaze you! (Ideal as a rhythm section behind me on a lead or solo .... think of radiohead airbag or lucky ..... then we aproach the same sound that thom yorke using a jaguar dr these two pieces only).

    the reverb is perfect too.

    equalizer is effective.

    st the knobs very sensitive (and master volume). same too.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Clear sound excellent, as is the drive (no offense to some), a small footprint for a demonic power, a weight quite acceptable ... that he misses it??

    this amp has LOTS of epersonnalité while being compliant with respect to your own effects!

    I find it lacks just a better base HP, and a second HP (deville turn to the DS this case ... but his big brother is enormously heavier believe me!)

    no amp is perfect, but it's is not far!

    8 / 10 because the crunch / more drive may have more fishing (for my taste) but with a pedal bone TS 9 oz mitigates this lack

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for some time, with a small variety of effects, it sounds superb and the price is correct for this and ample power at 40 W. Even if it is heavy to lug it remains a good compromise all-tube combo who wants to play in groups. for use at home or apartment I would not recommend anyway because it sends so that it can operate properly without declaring war with the neighborhood!

Is a Blues amp then to be consistent with yourself you need a little ear to realize that not just play everything on this amp and it should not be swinging on land that is clearly not his
    In any case it sounds great for Jazz and Blues R & B Pop other predominantly black American music
    However, all the guitars are not above the mine makes perfect but I have a Stratocaster, which makes even less the need to adapt his criticism

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this amp for 3 years and nothing has budged except that vibrates the grid (normal power you sound!) Do the tighten occasionally is a value for money great for anyone looking for a sound Round, powerful, full of finesse and nuance
    It is the only amp that offers exactly what I expect I recommend it to any true guitarist looking to play with his guts and his ears and not with noise and distortion

    Everything has been said about the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe! All tube 40 watts (and what watts)
    super clear sound: the drive and more drive can be used to pass in single player with more power.
    In fact by dint of reading the reviews, I wanted to have a (hot rod) and I bought a used (good idea)
    since mine is the 1999 USA and guaranteed.

    UTILIZATION

    The sounds are hot as it should! even with a Squier Stratocaster, without effects, it is taken to playing hendrix little wing! (Just kidding)

    I said that I had all kinds of marshall amps, orange, vox gibson ( <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_cry.gif" alt="" /> except mesa) and I found the HOT ROD worthy of its reputation.
    Manual: go to the website but it's not too hard.
    on the forums, I saw that some had made customizations hazardous (eg lamps)
    actually I think it is optimized properly to begin with.
    The clean channel is really clear with serious majestic!
    channel drive: you have to push the preamp completely and lower the master to saturate: it is better pedal!

    SOUNDS

    Crystalline sounds at will. But when we play hard rock trends, like me, with a Gibson Les Paul Custom, or Jackson (the Squier Start: To troubleshoot) then it MUST effects for everything overdrive and distortion in particular. I played on GT8 boss and he "got along" with the HOT but I sold WG8 to return a suitcase full of pedals (updated 01/2010) is much more satisfying! (Including two with my body Peavy tt lamps) ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I had Marshall, Gibson, Peavy, rolland, orange (3 tt body 150 W lamps in my day dude paul person: BEAST) and I am VERY happy with the HOT ROD: I could change my Peavy Classic 2 body for a mesa if I have the tune, but I will keep the HOT ROD.

    UTILIZATION

    Simple Config ... are lit with the standby; expected a good minute and disables the standby
    This gives a good sound easily ... but perfectible;)

    SOUNDS

    It is the need to go deeper discussion
    I play mostly blues rock and I sometimes digress to such Hard AC / DC or some band like RATM, Audioslave ...
    Overall this is a very rich sound, very round ... nothing to do with the Twin Reverb though ... not as crystalline and bright. It sounds darker, like a Bassman I would say (I did not say a bassman).
    Level guitar I play on a Start with single coils and std a Godin LG with humbuckers.
    Basic features in Groove tubes (Sovtek in this case) but it sounds ....
    The clean channel is nice but the drive is, let's not mince words, dirty limit in degobillant ... more I drive did not even speak. No way for me to use these two "channels" ... So in 1 year of Hot Rod I only used the clean sound ... and I put the pedals as the Guv'nor, the bluesbreaker2 the maxon OD9 ... etc.
    Because of its rather dark side accepts what kind of pedals to hit to hard ... and if it's too "bright" and although it disables the button bright;)
    First of all I walked around on the net and saw the little "volume box" to put in the effects loop ... the AC already allowed me to have more interesting sounds on the drive channel. And circumvent the problem of the volume knob is too sensitive! but it was still ca ...
    And that's where I thought it could be interesting may be to change the lamps preamp ... so I turned the Sovtek 12AX7WA stamped Groove tubes to make a small mix:
    V1 12AX7 Electro Harmonix
    V2: ECC83 JJ
    V3: 12AT7 Electro Harmonix
    And I rediscovered the Hot Rod
    More harmonics, the sound is richer, more accurate ... has a clean fall down
    At the drive channel, this combination of lights transforms completely: it is now usable .... with the drive level of 4 was really a wonderful crunch. Even the drive is more usable (do not put the drive has 12). With a treble booster is a killer!
    With the pedals as the Guvnor new lamps can increase accuracy and it covers a wide range of distortion / overdrive.
    So I think before you say it sounds really should not go here and on the net to discover that a mere change of lamps preamp enough to transform this amp;)
    I even sold my Banzai Fireball2 because Ca overlapped with the channel drive
    And with lamps NOS I not tell you ... enormous

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been a little over a year than I have.
    What I like most: its sound after changing lamps;), versatility
    What I like least: those who speak without knowing about him
    I tried the Peavey Classic 30 ... but I preferred the hot rod
    Value for money: correct ... if it comes with good lights and a series HP Jensen and Celestion V30 would be perfect;)
    His weak point is really behind the drive channel, do not hesitate to change the lamps prémp.
    With the experience I would do so this choice without hesitation.

    I think the Hot Rod is more open in the range of sound it can deliver.

    Amp very nice lamp.
    It delivers 40w, but watch this tape (I have never exceeded 3 on the volume by repeated).
    After it is very simple: we put on, we removed the stanby and opening wide his ears. It sounds now, not to be a genius to find the acoustic sound that goes well.
    Level stuff, it's solid and heavy (for its small size), there are all sorts of input and output that will satisfy the majority (2 inputs, an effects loop, footswitch ...).

    UTILIZATION

    As mentioned above, it can not be simpler.

    Seriously, I love me! No need to get lost in menus billion to settle some unknown parameter not found, then it's old and all the charm of these amps.
    We quickly found his little sound. Me myself I like to dig the sound (lower medium).
    In addition we feel that we not turn the knobs for nothing;)
    Manual ... that yes I? I have not even watched it was in the box. lol!

    SOUNDS

    What's clear my friends! But what a sound! Frankly, it has it all: The low round and clear, sharp and fine, precise, captivating. All the quality of Fender tube sound.
    I play it with a telecaster deluxe: what a gas, it gives me the perfect marriage. We get as many sounds very round and smooth as sharp and stubborn. Sometimes I leave my Ibanez 7 string in order to clear the hatches, well it sounds good and it looks really the difference between the guitars (which may be useful).
    The BIG problem is the channel distortion. It's not neat enough for my taste. If you have a hard rhythm, it's not too much stuff (quickly forgotten if you use a good distortion pedal, mesa lol). on the other hand for solos vintage, it gives a really nice fuzz.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this amp every day for 6 months and I can not get enough.
    The sound is really good, aside from the popping sound that leaves a bit to be desired, let ...
    The tool is solid, very well accepted transport (when the lamps are cold!).
    I tried a lot of gear before you choose and there is no contest for price, none equal. This is a good choice for lovers of pop rock, blues, jazz, etc. ... you meet the living room to the large concert hall.

    The drive is adjustable and is suitable for pop-rock, blues but is not made for metal!
    However, if one connects the user "more drive" one is surprised to have his typed Stoner.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Hotrod Deluxe I have this for over a year and I think there will still many hours and years in my company!
    The Plus is definitely the clean sound.
    Its price / quality ratio is very good.

    To get a good sound, there is a very simple method: heat the amp, plug in a guitar, and remove the stand-by and there is a vamp!

    SOUNDS

    Perfect for all styles auf metal!
    I play a Fender Jaguar HH, a mustang U.S. 64 and a copy of strata with customized pickups
    Crystal clear sound (it's the Fender) but not garish lens, very good quality.
    I do not agree with those who drool over the drive channel. For me, the drive is very good to give some character to…

    I do not agree with those who drool over the drive channel. For me, the drive is very good to give some character to the sound! It is on that has not (even with the drive switched mrore) ultra-compressed sound, but I think it's really cool because it gives a sound that can get dirty easily and for me that gun!

    OVERALL OPINION

    1 year of use
    Amp great.
    Ideal for a great clean sound where we feel the lamps. After everyone is free from this very good sound and to decorate any kind of pedal. Me is what I did (Maxon D & S, Visual Sound Route 66), and it's super cam!
    Before I was at Marshall, and I wonder how I could stay as long on a fender.

    Well now, it's almost a whole lamp, and the reverb are not correct. 40 Watts (lamp when it is it sounds loud). 2 channels drive & More Drive (also disgusting)
    I takes only 8 because if you go to paris VHM we will offer a better store of lamps which still Bonnifait your sound!

    UTILIZATION

    You plug, you let warm, you remove the standby, it sounds ... Direct
    Use of this amp is relatively simple, all pots at noon to begin with, it already has THE sound. Small pofinage to taste and color and go!

    I use it on stage and in studio, there's no denying he is not afraid of anything (aside from metalheads may be because he is not doing it for AC ...).

    Manual ??????? What for?

    SOUNDS

    I play rock (Led Zeppelin to) he spent nickel! it depends on the distortion pedal that you will provide. The Jazz also going very well thanks to its superb clean sound, very crystalline, which is no lack of bass. But his favorite is the Blues!
    I use a Gibson ES 335 and a layer of 59 ', both sound great on it, I have the habit of plugging in with the low gibson, for a less jazzy and more banging.

    I do not use either the crunch or the drive, both threw a good pedal on this beautiful clear sound!

    I put 10 because I do not care about the drive ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 4 years, he accompanied me everywhere on stage, outdoors, in the studio! really good mate!

    For that price, you sound anyway ... I even plug the Squier guitars or other crap on it, and suddenly it sounds good, not great?

    10 anyway because I do not regret it

    So the setup is super simple, we really do not need the manual that is clear enough but not very complete ... finally it's what Fender.

    Contrary to what many people say the overdrive channel is operable to play the blues.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been a week since I play with every day
    the +: sound and uh bah voila, I like the look too
    the -: not really I do not see the
    If it was a remake ... I'll wait a bit before I answer this question yet far enough away.
    The value for money is good I think.

    In the first all-tube amp price worthy of the name.
    Power 40W, quite suitable for playing at home, repeating with the potos, or a lil beef in the garage granny. The 40W are very present, with a volume a little too sensitive (when the volume is about 2.5, my upstairs neighbor at her tapestry that go).
    Fender makes us happy by making available a good "All Tube" simple and effective. [/ B]

    UTILIZATION

    All the settings are very simple, intuitive, can be found fairly quickly, "his" own sound, that makes for a fender bizare but I'm not complaining.
    Indeed, it is not bored, they rule the "treble", his "middle" and lower, a little reverb PARCI spoke and voila.

    It was still hard to adjust the volume, since we do not try to cover a battery is sometimes painful.
    Otherwise, true to the fender, clear sound is always clear and any bôôôté. By contrast saturation dirty enough, or no, let's see what you intend for.

    SOUNDS

    A clear lamp very nice, excellent job of fender clinging fiercely to their traditions. They excel in their always clear sound quality. Have fun plugging a small Fender Stratocaster Deluxe on the hot rod and that you will draw tears.
    Obviously, the association fender-fender remains enormous but personally I play it with a gibson les paul and the warm sound and well rounded out of my double easel extremely well, a Regalade!
    Cependent, I stay on my end conserne saturation of the hot rod, I find it rather poor, I just feel like pushing the max gain a clear sound bad. But, you say, it is not used in fender for a big "saturation" (you will see elsewhere in marshall for that!), And everything depends on what you want to play. Lover of blues, jazz, funk and rock will be delighted very dirty. For those looking for big sound, and although I find very interesting, considering the quality of the clean channel, to associate a small multi-purpose or correct any distortion or other. Indeed, it retains a beautiful clear tone for our romantic serenades and you can let go to play slayer when the miss was blocked with another ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    The Fender Hot Rod is in my opinion a good reference, with a value price for any light that defies concurence.
    It remains, on the other hand, not very polivalent if taken while naked, but dressed with other effects, we can explore many interesting backgrounds (distortion, flange, wah, chorus, delay ...), it will then contact all styles though its retro look is a little "daddy" but remains attractive.
    I advise to all those born in the transistors and looking new.
    Of course, try it in all directions (ask to try it with a strat U.S.) and those that made clear his royally c ****, and searching for good solid sound to the old, going to test the equivalent of Hot Rod at Marshall DSL 401 which is also a gem.
