you can achieve awsome warm cleans to saturated crying heavy blues sounds, very expressive. I use clean, slighty dirty, and fully driven settings and enables me to play practicly any style, plugging straight in, nothing added! killer tone!

love that it comes with a cover, channel selector stomp box,I like the reverb, bright switch on clean channel, I love the presence knob on the dirty channels. built strong, very durable.

very straight foward controls, easy to find sweet settings.

made excellent. I'm gald it is not made out of particale wood. I've owned this for about 4 months, had a blues jr. before, I feel it will be very reliable. Like the sound of the 6l6 grove tubes and 12ax7 Fender makes great produts.

great price for professional gear.

love transferable warrenty, I have called about some info once and had no problems with customer service.

it has the great classic Fender look!

Like every musical instrument, there are pros and cons to this amp. Pros include the clean channel, the hot, throaty, bluesy overdrive tone, and the volume capabilities. The cons would include the inability to provide a classic, fuzzy distorted sound a la Hendrix, SRV, etc...but this can be solved by running a fuzz box through the clean channel. The reverb is great on this amp too. I leave it set at about 7 permanently. This amp is a beautiful, vintage looking piece of equipment, and has a good sound to match.

My amp came with a 2 channel footswitch, amp cover, and 2 extra tubes. No complaints really about the features, with the exception that I wish I could squeeze some different gain tones out of it. One thing I would add, beacause of the enormous sound is a headphone jack for practicing. This amp is LOUD and shakes the walls at 2 on the master. Also, I would add casters to the amp, as it is close to 60 pounds.

This amp is built better than my house. The wood is heavy, and the closed back is nice too. I would play this amp in any venue that would have me. It is more than enough volume, especially considering that even the smallest venues now mic the amps anyway. It should belong to my great grandchild one day, and I just turned 17!

Well, I got mine at a hugely discounted price that I just couldn't refuse, but if there's one thing I'd say about the process of buying an amp, its wait,wait,wait!!! Force yourself to think about the sound you really want and what you need for it. Don't just look at the money aspect of it, or sell out to the popular "must have Marshall" attitude. Buy the sound...not the amp. Enough of that preaching, I got a great deal and like the tone a lot!

Don't know. Haven't dealt with them, but I'm sure they're good people.

I really like this amp, especially when its cranked up. What I really wanted was a vintage 1959 SLP plexi Marshall head and 1960TV 4x12 cab, but this too is a great amp.

I have had my Hot Rod Deville for over 6 years. I have the tweed covered version. All the channels are great. Just a great all around amp. I now run the Hot Rod along with a Cyber Twin that has 4 channels created by me. Rock-On brothers and sisters. google cry eloise.

The Hotrod DeVille has a pretty good range of sound. It falls off slighty on the bass stringswhen soloing. It has very nice highs. It's a bit hard to get a really clean "Telecaster" type twang out of it.

The features are great except for one BIG flaw: you can't switch the reverb on or off from the foot switch. When you want reverb you must walk back to the amp (not cool while doing a show) and turn up the reverb. So, in the middle of a solo you can't just kick-in the reverb.

The amp is real easy use. No problem there.

Very poor inputs. I've done over 700 shows with mine over a 9 year period and the inputs are getting bad.

Yes

Never dealt with the manufactuer

Nah... it's just average. No sex appeal.

Clean, warm, smooth - Fender at its best!

All I need is clean. Some people don't like the overdrive, but I don't mind it too much.

It's held up great after a year of traveling. (but i keep it in a flight case - i recommend you do - it's too good-looking to get all scratched up)
