This pre loved Fender Hot Rod 1x12 Combo is in excellent condition apart from a small repair to the front Tolex (pictured). It includes a master volume adaptor, footswitch and a cover. The Hot Rod Deluxe was first introduced in 1996 as part of Fender’s Hot Rod amplifier line—an evolution of the earlier Blues Deluxe series, offering higher gain and greater flexibility. It remains in continuous production, with multiple updates improving its tone and performance over the years

What Fender say;

The world standard for a portable, powerful, full-featured tube amp, the 40-watt Hot Rod Deluxe™ is very aptly named, indeed! Awe inspiring Fender tone issues forth from a 12" 8-ohm Fender Special Design Eminence® speaker fueled by a pair of 6L6 Groove Tube output tubes and three 12AX7 preamp tubes. You get three channels, "normal", "drive" and "more drive" with gain and master controls for the "drive" channel and a "bright" switch for the "normal" channel. Other features include FX loop, Fender long-spring reverb, external speaker jack, internal variable bias control, two-button three-function channel footswitch, chrome panel with vintage pointer knobs, black textured vinyl covering and silver grille cloth. Cover included.
