This pre loved Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV Combo is in very good condition with only a few light signs of use. It comes with a cover and an attenuator.
It is a 40-watt all-tube guitar combo amplifier designed to deliver classic Fender tones with modern refinements. It is one of Fender’s most popular workhorse amps, widely used for rehearsals, live gigs, and studio recording.
Power and Speaker
The amp delivers 40 watts of tube power, providing plenty of clean headroom and enough volume for full band situations. It features a single 12-inch Celestion A-Type speaker, known for its balanced sound with smooth highs, defined mids, and solid low-end response.
Tubes and Circuitry
The preamp section uses three 12AX7 tubes, while the power section is driven by two 6L6 tubes. A solid-state rectifier keeps the response tight and reliable. This setup produces warm, dynamic clean tones and rich harmonic overdrive when pushed.
Channels and Controls
The Hot Rod Deluxe IV has three switchable channels: Normal (clean), Drive, and More Drive. The drive channels share EQ controls and are footswitch-selectable. Controls include master volume, presence, reverb, bass, middle, treble, drive volume, and a bright switch, offering extensive tone shaping.
Effects and Connectivity
A built-in spring reverb provides classic Fender ambience with a smoother character than earlier versions. An effects loop allows time-based and modulation pedals to be placed after the preamp. There is also an external speaker output for connecting an additional cabinet.
Build and Design
The amp is housed in a lightweight pine cabinet covered in black textured vinyl, with a silver grille cloth and vintage-style pointer knobs. It maintains a traditional Fender look while incorporating modern updates. A two-button footswitch and protective cover are typically included.
Who It’s For
The Fender Deluxe IV is well suited for guitarists who want strong clean tones, pedal-friendly performance, and the option of built-in overdrive. It works particularly well for blues, rock, country, pop, and general gigging situations.
