Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Let me start this review by stating some qualification.That is I've owned everything from a Gibson Lab Series stack (remember those?)to Trace Elliot to Laney to Hughes and Kettner to Marshall to Peavey to Vox to Randall to Sunn,and a couple more I've forgotten.Why am I telling you all this?Very simple...
This is without question the best sounding amplifier I've ever owned,bar none!Before I actually recieved my new Hot Rod,I heard a sound file of David Gilmour playing a Strat through a Hot Rod and I was absolutely blown away.But the thing is...when I plugged my Strat into my Hot Rod...bingo...I got the exact same clear,crisp and powerful tone that I had heard from Gilmour!
This amp,on the clean channel,has more oomphh than a lot of amps on their dirty channels.It's apparent that Fender takes great care to match the power tubes,both output and pre-amp.Also,the reverb is superb.The chicken head knobs and forward facing controls make it a snap to adust quickly on stage.It also comes with an LED lit footswitch for switching channels and boosting the drive channel (drive and more drive).
Some technical stuff...I have the 40 watt version,which drives a Celestion vintage 12 " speaker @8 ohms.It has a pre-amp out and a power amp in,which can be used as an effects loop or to to add another Hot Rod.It has bass,mid and high equalization,as well as master volume,presence and drive knobs.Easy to see LED's indicate channel and drive level (both on the amp and the footswitch).It also has a bright switch (high frequency boost) and a speaker out jack to power another 8 ohm cabinet.
In closing let me say don't let the 40 watts fool you...this amp is LOUD!I play onstage at a lot of medium to large size clubs and have no trouble standing out in the mix,with power to spare!By the way this amp comes with a five year limited transferable warranty.So what are the minuses...there are none! This is simply a great and great sounding amp.If you play blues,rock,pop or country this amp will do you proud and make your bandmates take notice and the audience pay attention.Happy Playing!
