Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV

Description

The Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV is the latest evolution of one of the most gig‑proven tube amps ever built. This 40‑watt 1×12 combo delivers the unmistakable Fender clean tone, warm breakup, and pedal‑friendly headroom that players have relied on for decades — now enhanced with a re‑voiced preamp for greater note definition and a smoother, more musical spring reverb.

A Celestion A‑Type 12" speaker provides balanced output with smooth highs, relaxed mids, and full low‑end response, making the amp equally at home in blues, rock, country, worship, and studio environments. The lightweight solid pine cabinet, updated control panel graphics, ivory pointer knobs, and lightly aged silver grille cloth give the amp a premium vintage look while keeping it portable for real‑world gigging.

With three selectable channels (Clean, Drive, More Drive), classic Fender reverb, and a rugged build, the Hot Rod Deluxe IV remains one of the most versatile and reliable tube combos on the market.
