Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV B-Stock

The Hot Rod Deluxe IV would not be a Fender amp if it didn't deliver the classic clean sounds with which the brand is synonymous, but it also features a second channel for dynamic crunch tones and a third for those looking for a more high-gain sound. All three channels are of course foot-switchable, and the corresponding footswitch is included in the scope of delivery as previously mentioned. Players can use the Hot Rod Deluxe IV's effective three-band EQ and Presence knob to dial in their desired tone and adjust the sound to suit the respective instrument, while the Master Volume knob allows the amp's 40 watts of all-tube power to be either tamed or unleashed. The Hot Rod Deluxe IV is equipped with three 12AX7A preamp tubes and two 6L6 power amp tubes, sufficient to hold its own in the rehearsal room, in the studio, and even on stage. The redesigned reverb unit adds just the right amount of bloom and the best ever definition to the sound, but should they wish to do so, players can also run their own reverb and other pedals in the amp's onboard effects loop.

Ever since they were launched over 20 years ago, Fender's Hot Rod amplifiers have enjoyed a reputation for being extremely versatile, and for a very good reason. The fourth generation is no exception, and this current incarnation with its three channels, enormous gain reserves, and 40 watts of all-tube power delivers a sound with plenty of presence and flexibility that makes it ideal for the studio and even for the biggest of stages. This combo is thus most eminently suited to seasoned professionals who want an amp that will cover all the bases and has a sufficiently sturdy construction to guarantee many years of reliable service.
