Fender George Benson Hot Rod Deluxe 40-Watt 1x12-Inch Combo Guitar Amplifier, with 2-Year Warranty

Such a beautiful tone - the only thing I wish fender would do is make turning up the amp easier. What I mean is - the last 3 amps of theirs I’ve owned I’ve only been able to turn up to 2 or so without it being overbearingly loud. I want something I can go to 6-9 and feel like I’m pushing it. When you can be at 2 and play over a drummer that’s just too low. You get the feeling “am I supposed to be able to play to aircraft taking off on a carrier?” Like there’s no point. This said - the sound is warm and buttery and the changeover from distorted to more distorted is smooth and non abrasive. Such a great amp and sound for a truly diverse range of tones. Literally the only amp I’ll need when I add in my pedal board mix. Obv if I were in a truly metal band I’d have gone Marshall hands down but other than metal fender has always and still has my heart. Don’t be fooled by orange colored amps - get this one.

I love this amp! Have used it for rehearsal and recently played a bar gig with it. Performs beautifully. Magnificent TONE. Lush Reverb. More volume available than I'll ever need. The Celestion speaker gives the clean channel pure crystal clear tone and the gain channel gives a rich throaty overdrive with lots of adjustability to go from a slightly broken up bluesy sound to a shredding fire breathing dragon with the twist of a know. It is a little heavy for its size!

I knew this amp was going to be loud when I got it but thought I would have a little more volume control. Between the 1 and 2 the volume goes from off, to blaringly loud. The amp sounds amazing otherwise. The reverb sounds great. I was able to get the volume under control a little better by using the input 2 but ultimately was just too loud for my purposes. This amp would benefit greatly if fender would install an attenuator at the factory.

I’ve got the Hotrod V4. Grill cloth doesn’t exactly match my amps but it does not affect performance one bit. I stack my amp on top and it looks,sounds amazing. Very happy with this speaker cabinet!

Just received my amp last week. It is better than I had expected, clean sounds and really completes my set-up!

I have had many combinations of amps, guitars and pedals last 20 years. I bought this to allow fuller sound. Sits under Hot Rod 3. I cannot express how happy I am!! Punch clarity and sound exceeds expectation!!

I'm not a session player but I play like one and this amp is everything I could hope for !! I bought it to replace a Fender Super Champ XD that quit on me after 5 years. I like to play a variety of different styles...rockin' country, rock, pop, & blues and this amp gives me everything I need with nothing more than a little overdrive pedal & added treble. AMAZING !!!

SUCKS
