Introduced in 1996 as part of the "Hot Rod" line of guitar amplifiers the Hot Rod Deluxe is a modified version of the Fender Blues Deluxe from the earlier Blues line of amplifiers, and has a higher level of gain in its pre-amplification signal. This model, along with the Hot Rod Deville, were originally designated as F.A.T. ('Fender American Tube') amplifiers but this moniker was dropped in 2002 when production of this series of amps was moved from Corona, CA to Fender's Baja-Ensenada, Mexico manufacturing facility.
The Hot Rod Deluxe is an all tube combo amp rated at 40 watts, using a single 12-inch speaker. The Hot Rod Deluxe is a mono-channel amplifier featuring 3 switchable gain levels: "Clean", "Drive", and "More Drive" selectable on either the control panel or footswitch (if plugged in). Other features include a Bass, Middle, and Treble EQ, Master Volume, Presence, Normal/Bright, and spring reverb.
This model is in great condition, with some minor modifications - the control panel plate has been changed to a black plate (easier to see settings when on stage) and the speaker has been changed to a Celestion Creamback.
