Fender HOT ROD DEVILLE/DEMO

[jinete2420]

oh sounds great the distortion

[madeyes4u]

You've got way too much fuckin reverb turned up.

[rrguitar1]

you would get much better overall tone if you cut the reverb down. The fullness of the pedal wll come through..

[AltRockGuitarist22]

whats ur settings on ur amp??? i just got one of these the other day and i use pedals for overdrives and distortion and the tones are so bright it hurts my ears, i turned the bright switch off and everything...

[adawg48]

Yea i sold my mesa boogie for one of these badboys they at most are the best amps in my opinion

[sergiozc]

whats the difference in tone with this and the deluxe??

[AltRockGuitarist22]

@sergiozc i think is just the wattage on it... the deluxe is 40 watts and the devilles are 60

[4eyed4stringer]

GREAT demo! Thanks!

[Mrk2453]

Good job of showing some of the sounds of this LOUD amp. I had the 4x10 version and never could play above two. if I did the rest of the band complained!! I wound it up to about 7 one day on my own and the sheer power and volume nearly mad me throw up!!! I ended upo selling it and getting a 40 watt Hotrod celuxe which is samaller/lighter and also has great tone, but I really regret getting rid of this baby because I've since learnt how to use the master volume to get great tone at lower volume.

[figaz555]

@Mrk2453

I heard from my friend that anything beyond 6 could smash a window. I know for a fact that anything over 4 seriously contributes to hearing loss. I have the 2 by 12 version though so there may be a slight different. Certainly a great amp. Without spending 4 grand I don't think I could get anything I like better.

[locolegsharvey]

@Mrk2453 please tell?? i have a 410 and struggle with its loudness, and same.... its never been passed 2-3!! it leaves me with a banging head even at that!!!!

[Mrk2453]

@locolegsharvey

I hear you, no pun intended!! It was a while ago that I had the Deville and it was only after I had traded it in on a line 6 that a bloke walked into the shop while I was there and plugged into it and got bitchin' tone at lower volume. He got the sound by EQing the amp to different settings and then turning one volume up whilst turning the master down - or the other way round -can't remember now. I got a deluxe and a Blackstar HT60 now- the blackstar is UNREAL -great tone.

[Zero0Alt]

is this the 410 or the 212?

[soldat182]

does this come with a footswitch for the channels?

[fender51503]

yep

[SplineSpider]

some reason i couldn't find a foot switch that it told me i would have

[holmes1978]

NICE MAN !!!

[fender51503]

Thanks!

[lovekes]

what about distortion without a pedal? can this amp still produce a nice sound?

[fender51503]

yea,its got a second overdrive channel that sounds pretty good.

[theraditz]

Ohh.. that sounds like polly xD

[sidinator3000]

Sounds Great!

This amp Sounds amazing. The Clean Channel and The Dirty Channel Are both Great. And I really love the High Gain sounds you can Get out of it With that Satchurator.

[zacyboyZ]

PLEASE do you remember what chord you were playing when you were just messin around at the begging of the video, i would be extremely grateful if you could just give me the slightest hint of what that was

[Fr3etd4nc3r]

@zacyboyZ sounds like E,G, D, A in the beginning

[tcinpa37]

Honest question--why use that Satch pedal when you have natural tube overdrive at your disposal?

Not that the pedal sounded bad, but there's nothing like real tube amp OD, IMO.

[brenan6]

Probably because you have to CRANK a tube amp to get that nice distortion, and most web cams cant handle levels like that. The audio on the vid would probably just be CRCKCSSKKKKSHHHH. no good. dig?

[tcinpa37]

I hear ya. How about the gain/od channel, though? Is that still "cleanish" at lower volumes?

And if you use a decent mic, and a good program (audacity is free) you can set the input and clipping up to eliminate some of that. I mean, I'm not saying you need to make a new vid or anything, just offering some advice and asking a few serious questions.

[MaTtmAn11276]

yes but you can plug an attenuator to control your master volume and conserve your raw tube power...

[fender51503]

Too loud

[PeterCriss925]

cool im looking to buy the 40 watt hot rod deluxe

[hiian123]

hey man i am gonna play small gigs and practice with my band and need a three chanell amp for 400 to 700 bucks. i want a loud amp but one that still sounds good at bedroom levels. i am thinking of getting the 112 combo version of this. i play classic southern hard and blues rock through a MIM strat and a schecter c1 hellraiser. Thx alot man

[Weltar]

How would this amp be for surf music? Does it have the ''splash'' ? (Reverb effect)

[tcinpa37]

Fender Spring Reverb Tank--indeed; the very birthplace and definition of surf sound.

[ansiaaa666]

i have a problem with my deville...

when I play some low notes on the E and A strings something inside the amp is resonating a buzzing. not too loud, but I can't see I don't hear that little buzz on those notes.

does anyone have the same problem? cos I've heard the same thing (even a louder buzz) on a hot rod deluxe...

at the store they just told me "they are all built like that"...

[fender51503]

Im no expert,but it might be your tubes are going bad.I was having weird noises too,and I switched the power tubes a couple weeks ago and havent had any problems since then.

[ansiaaa666]

tnx for the answer, but it's not the tubes. they are totally new and just checked by the technician.

it's something vibrating when some notes make it resonate

[fender51503]

i have no clue then.Take it to a repair guy and he can probaly tell you whats going on

[ansiaaa666]

I've located the vibration, it should be in the power supply, but I don't want to open the case myself since I would have no clue about what to do to fix it

[IIllIIllIl]

i believe its not the tubes, but it might be that the part thats holding the tubes in place is loose, so they may move at certain frequencies

just a suggestion

[staceyqfan]

the problem with combos sometimes is something rattling inside the cab, I changed to head type amps with different spkr boxes

[bigskymind81]

the vox satch sounds good on your amp..have u tried the satch on fender blues deluxe? and where does the vox satch made? china or japan?

thanks

[fender51503]

Havent tried on a deluxe,but sure it sounds good. I have no clue where its made.Its not crap,built like a tank and sounds amazing.

[lasfinisimas]

Ok I'm kinda new on this tube stuff so I have a couple of questions...

One of my power amp tubes has gone so I want to change it, do I have to change both of those tubes even if the other works fine? If I put the same kind of tube (6l6) but from a different brand (My Deville has standard GT's) like EHX or Svetlana or whatever, do I have to re bias the amp?

Maybe those are stupid questions but I dont know the answer so any information will help

Thanks

[fender51503]

Well..they fender 6l6's come in sets of two,so id go ahead and get both and be done with it. As long as the their the same tube(ex.6l6,el34,12AX7,etc...)­you shouldnt have to rebias them.The brands really dont matter i think. You should be good to go,just get a new pair of 6l6,s and you'll be rocking!! Thanks man!

[hiian123]

i dont think it matters but i would change both tubes

[steelar]

Nice demo. Good playing too. We have a 410 for setups in the customguitarstuff shop... and you're right.

 It's LOUD when you want it.

[fender51503]

Yea man! Its a great amp! My first tube amp also.

[TruckyNiggets]

Someone already mentioned it, but this amp is not Class A.

Pretty good playing for only playing as long as you have, good work.

[jl7571677]

hey what are ur settings it sounds great.And include the prscence cuz ive asked a lot of people and they forgot to include it

[fender51503]

i have no clue in this video,since it was so long ago.But,,the settings i use right now are great.Volume-3.Drive channel i never use but it's on 3.Treble-5 Middle-4.Master-2.Reverb-3.Pre­scence-3.This is good for a solid rock tone.Thank you!

[jl7571677]

thanks.and what about bass?

[fender51503]

My bad dude....i keep bass in between 6 or 7.Thanks

[1960gibsonguitar]

this amp is insane i have it i love it. do you have the 2x12 or the 4x10

[fender51503]

2x12,ya man its great!

[joshlespaul1952]

It is not Class A.

[fender51503]

cool man,im gonna have to check it out the next time i go to guitar center.ya,the deville can get a bit loud for the house,good for gigs though.

[tqla255]

why don't you take a deluxe :D it's the same but just a lil harsh and lower in volume

[fender51503]

pretty much with any tube amp,u got to crank it up to get a good sound out of it.super champ sounds like a good choice.

[shearn666]

So I'm guessing that at abt 1:20 is where you hit the "more gain" channel? Is that with max o'drive?

[fender51503]

ya,pretty much

[cream68]

WHAT VOLUME DOES THA CLEAN START TO OVERDRIVE?!?!?!?! and what cab r u using....212 or 410?

[fender51503]

around 4 or 5.U gotta have it pretty loud, if your looking for that natural overdrive.its the 2x12 version

[0Mellon]

Mine breaks up on 3 if I play a chord pretty hard.

[boredmanaic]

how do you like the satchurator? is it pretty easy to develop your own tone with it? or is it too much of satch's tone?

[fender51503]

u def get satch's tone, but this thing is very versatile.u back of the gain and move the tone up a little bit, and u get a very cool bluesy sound. It works really good when u back off the volume on the guitar,it cleans up really good.But, i mean u can get alot of diff sounds with this thing.very versatile pedal

[boredmanaic]

awesome! thanks! is there any way you could do a demo of the pedal by itself with the non-satch settings?

[fender51503]

ya, im pretty sure i could do that...just make sure u sub. so u wont miss it

[boredmanaic]

ok! thank you very much! that will help me a lot

[beaverstroodle]

cool video. I just got a HRD 212, i'm really happy with it. Just curious if my HRD has problems or whether its normal...when you put up the presence does it make alot of noise to signal? thanks!

[fender51503]

hey, im pretty sure thats normal.the presence boosts the signal and adds more gain to it.So im pretty sure its normal and everything should be fine,enjoy it man its a great amp! thanks for watching

[sollyharr]

dude! ,turn ,down ,the reverb abit. ive got one too and thats just a bit too much!;)

[fender51503]

ya,i had just got this at that time and i was just expirimenting with it a bit

[Joe0728]

this is a preety cool amp, have but like to add more distortion to it :P

[fender51503]

ya, this things awesome. i love it!!

[Riverdale270]

I played this one today in the shop, this amp's clean tone is really really great, couldn't get it out of a Marshall TSL100. Overdrive is nice too, but harder work you could leave to a pedal (Boss OS-2 for example)

[fender51503]

definately. forget the marshall, just get a satchurator or an overdrive for ur distortion and ur set. the clean on this amp is amazing!!!THANKS FOR CHECKIN OUT MY VID!!

[CJsoccer4]

how does the amp do with hard rock and guns n roses and warrent , motely crue tones.....how about jimi hendrix tones??? what about an ozzy osborn crazy train tone?

[seventytwoforyou]

i have this amp..its awsome,you can get hendrix tones but for everything else you mentioned your going to want to get a pedal.

[fritosofdoritos]

@seventytwoforyou what kind of pedal?

[cward127]

if you want those tones i think you should be looking at a JCM 900 or something like that, a fender can do those tones if you really work at it, but fenders are famous for their clean tone, meanwhile a marshall is what you should be looking at if you want those kinds of tones, although if you want the hendrix tone, you could get it out of a deville, but hendrix uses a marshall plexi for that sound

[IntoxicatedTV]

@CJsoccer4

Dude, First of all for Guns Les Paul is required, and there's nothing  sweeter than a marshall and a les paul, they are made for each other, This amps are very good but you will feel that is stll not there, JCM900 is the way to go, although clean marshalls are not beautiful. They are when you dirty them.

[tommygun394]

NICCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEE, sweet amp man, great tone

[fender51503]

THANKS TOMCAT

[guns1rose]

dea. now you have hernessed the power of the tube amp. is that the 1x12 version or 2x12

[fender51503]

2x12

[fender51503]

DEAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! they have a 4x10 version too

[guns1rose]

which one is urs?
