Fender Hot Rod Amps

Fender hot rod amps are played by more artists than any other amp line, whether that be in a studio or on stage. Hot rod amps are simply the workhorses that countless artists have depended on to create their signature tone.

Let’s take a look at some of the fantastic amps that we have available here at Rimmers Music.

Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV

After listening to feedback from hundreds of players, Fender redesigned the Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV, updating it with modified preamp circuitry, smoother-sounding spring reverb and updated aesthetics that any player can appreciate. The standard for gigging guitarists worldwide, this scorching 60-watt 2×12” combo delivers the goods and then some with hot-rodded power and performance to spare.

The Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV includes a pair of 12” Celestion® A-Type speakers, which provide powerful, well-balanced output with smooth highs, laid-back midrange and full, round lows. The modified preamp circuitry improves overdriven note de nation, so you’ll have sonic clarity no matter how hard you push this amp. The onboard spring reverb has been modifed to add smoothness, so you still get rich, shimmering tone, no matter how much reverb you use.

Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV Black

An updated version of the legendary amplifier that’s been the heart of many guitarists’ rigs, the Hot Rod Deluxe IV features modified preamp circuitry, smoother-sounding spring reverb and updated aesthetics that any player is sure to appreciate. A supercharged amp decked out with player-requested features, this scorching 40-watt 1×12″ combo is ideal for guitarists who need hot-rodded power with performance to spare.

The updated aesthetics include a lightweight pine cabinet, improved control panel texture and graphics, ivory pointer knobs, steel-reinforced strap handle and lightly-aged silver grille cloth, giving it the unmistakable look and vibe you can only get from a Fender amp. Reliable, flexible and pedal friendly, the Hot Rod Deluxe IV is an ideal addition to any electric guitarist’s amp collection.

Both the Hot Rod DeVille 212 IV and Hot Rod Deluxe IV include a modified overdrive tonality with better note definition. Improved bass response and a reverb warmth modification were adjusted in the Blues Junior IV, while the Pro Junior IV now has a lacquered tweed cosmetic package and volume knob/gain range improvements.

The history of Hot Rod amps dates back to the mid-1990s, as the hair metal of the ’80s was falling out of favor and artists began abandoning their racks of digital processors and returning to analog tube amps.
