I have never owned a Fender nor have I hardly ever played through any of them, but a couple of nights ago I had to play through a Hot Rod Deville. Having a nicely put together pedal board with a great dirty and lead tone plugged up through that Deville sounded monstrous. Loved it.
I still have my 1965 Twin. Still sounds as good as it did when new. It has been re-capped, original Oxford speakers. Never been played in a bar. B B King loved it when he used it when I was doing monitors for him years ago...
1 - Allmighty Twin
2 - DR for bluesy stuff
3- HR All around nice amp
Great demo! I would have loved to hear a Vibrolux in the comparison - thanks!
I have the 65 twin reverb, and hot rod deviled...4-10's. Brought home the vox ac15c1 yesterday!!!!
Ahhhh...retirement

Thank you
Deluxe is the best so far
Thank you
DeVille sounds much beter then the Deluxe
I just got the 65 deluxe reverb. What am amp. Perfect all around amp. You can play it quietly, it’s loud enough for gigs, it’s quiet enough to mic up and sound punchy without pissing off the sound guy, it’s perfect for every situation and sounds amazing c
how big of a venue could you play without micing and without getting tube breakup
I own 2 of those 3 amps - got a 2001 Hot Rod DeVille 212 (USA made) and a vintage 1964 Deluxe Reverb. Both are excellent amps, the '64 is the best sounding amp I have. The DeVille was my go-to amp for many years and many gigs. I've tried many other amps over the years, but I always end up going back to my Fenders with pedals.
Great for Blues, Country, some Rock, some Grunge. A liitle clean funk. Versatile!
Don’t forget the hot rod deluxe is like $700 cheaper
I have the Hot Rod Deluxe IV and when I play metal,I have it on the clean channel,running a MXR Super Badass(better sounding than boss metal pedal by far btw) distortion pedal,and it is killer.If I really want to get more dirty distortion,I just click onto the distortion channel.Mind you,when I turn the gain 3/4 up and have it on the distortion channel without the MXR,with the "more drive" switch on(on the pedal switch),it has the perfect sound for Bark at the Moon for example.I should mention though that I usually play my Ibanez Prestige with the seymour duncans pups for metal stuff which influences the sound a lot as opposed to my Sierra Fender Strat with the custom 50's pickups .The fender lends to more of a 70's rock sound but I always run my MXR pedal on the clean channel for songs such as Carry on my Wayward Son for example . For Hendrix tunes like "All along The Watch Tower",playing the Fender through the distortion channel is perfect(distortion 2/3 to 3/4) and I switch to "more drive" on the pedal switch for the leads.Of course,everyone hears things differently and what sounds good to me,may not sound good to you,but at least I hopefully gave some people a little more insight if they consider buying the Hot Rod Deluxe.
My 74 silver face twin. Master volume push pull Distortion option.100 watts rms. Twin Reverb rules. Always Has.
I did own a Hot Rod DeVille but tried a Traynor YCV40 which blew it away,both clean and overdriven. Love the Deluxe Reverb and the Twin Reverb . 👍🎸
YCV-40 is better built and in Toronto! Also the YGL-1 is a way better Blues Jr imo
I have a hot Rod Deville. And the overdrive channel sucks. But put it on the clean channel with pedals it sounds freaking amazing. Basically all you need is a good compressor and a good equalizer and you can get just about any kind of sound you want. I use the Wampler equalizer and the Keeley 4 knob compressor. I also have a volume pedal called a little black amp and when I use that I can crank the Deville to nine or 10 and then lower the volume and still hear the beautiful break up. Love it.
The Hot Rod Deville overdrive channel is what made me buy a Vox AC30. Not disparaging the amp but that channel was muddy and dark .
Cool that the volume pedal does that. So no real need for an attenuator then ?
I used to have a delux reverb amp, and just becsuse it is 33 watts, mine could kick a custom 100. How I achieved this was I built a speaker canbinet with 2- 12's heavy duty speakers. Made anothet cabinet with 2- 15 inch speakers. Built a horn cabinet with 2- 50 watt horns. Then added 2 pre- amps that plug into your guitar. There was no distortion at all.We all had fun playing ZZ TOP, THIN LIZZY, LYNYRD SKYNYRD ..and all that fun stuff..
I'm using the Mustang GT 100. And i really like the 65 Deluxe Reverb preset on it. It has more bite(and i think bass) to it than the Twin. But i like them both. Enjoying both worlds.
Hey i saw on videos that the presets dont sound exactly like the originals. But for the price im still pretty interested. What do you think about the amp?
@@Sally-uu3yt I've never played a deluxe or twin reverb, or even a real tube amp before. But for the GT 100, i'm very happy. Like what i've said in my comment, i like the Deluxe Reverb because it's punchy and it stands out for me not that much treble and perfect for my Tele. What i liked about it the most is the USB out so you can directly record on your laptop/desktop without any audio interface or mic.
BUT... The issue i've encountered so far is the volume drop when your "headroom" is lower than your guitar/pedals' volume. And last April 2020, i've updated the firmware, after saying that "update is complete", it won't turn on anymore. So i'm not using it right now. Good thing i have the Champion 40 as a backup amp.
Great amp for me, nonetheless.
@@jepatawaran ah thanks gor replying. Have you tries the boss katana? It also has modelling
@@Sally-uu3yt i havent yet. Tho most people will vote for it if it went head to head on with the Mustang.
Right now, i'm considering to just get a SS amps instead of modelling amps. Too many software issues. I'll try a Kustom next
@@jepatawaran why dont you just get a 65 deluxe reverb. Even tho you tried the preset on the mustang the real deal will be much better
Great playing and demo, However I would recommend this really rare dynamic mic called an SM57... Those lows were a tough listen lol
Lol almost looks like a kick mic 😂
It’s a Shure SM7 he’s using. Nothing wrong with mic’ing an amp with that! Not even close to a kick drum mic lol
I own and love my fender deville 2x12 but it doesn’t belong in the same category as the other two amps.
Why exactly
how about the Twin past 2? Yer babying the poor thing! Open it up like Jeff Healey did!
@Bandana Dee Isaac Healey turned the Twin up so loud he went blind.
You can not lose with any but the Twin is king.
The Twin sounds flat when Cold. Bias off a little maybe ? The Twin sounds a lot like A 1953 Silvertone Two 12 that I had, Dan Electro made it for Sears.
I'll take one of each please
Why is it labelled vibrato when it's tremelo? Totally different effects.
Leo Fender
I'll tell you what my dear Grandmother told me."Don't sweat the small stuff "The rest of us have already dealt with this issue and have moved on.
While vibrato on strats are called tremolo
Nice comparison. Thanks!
The thing about many amp makes these days is that many players seem to want to have their amps upgraded.new caps or speakers or valves etc.so why on Earth don't they come out of the factories already at the top of their designs.
I owned a 65 Fender deluxe amp through the sixties,I think that I was probably naive back then as I treated my deluxe with far to much respect not realizing that my deluxe really needed a good cranking ! I didn't play cranked up music in those days.
The biggest disappointment for me when on a lovely and dry day,I took my deluxe outside to do some playing and soon realized that a transistor radio put out more volume than my deluxe could ! Though inside of a building the amp put out more of a normal volume.
Realizing that this amp would need to be miked up most of the time,I went with Marshall amps and never looked back.
I've watched this video three times and I still can't decide which one to buy.
I have the 65 twin reissue, I wish the had the deville
I have the Deville, very happy with it
CHRIS DETERMAN get all 3 of them. 👍
Pull out the fender designed speakers in the hot rod and throw in some eminence governors for monstrous huge tone. Completely changed the amplifier for me and took it from a shrill sounding box to an absolute beast. A bit heavier now, but we’ll worth the change. Paired with my 08 72 thinline, beautiful.
Great demo! 👌🏽
The Twin sounds flat when Cold. Bias off a little maybe ?
That fretboard looks dryer than the Arizona desert.
Lemon oil.
its probably some of fenders newly produced guitars. from my experience theyre horrible, including the USA ones.
Where's the high gain review on the TWIN?
Deluxe rev. Don't have power for large gigs insteat twin rev. Has the power for all kind of gigs
@@keithclark486 Keith I play thru a Deluxe Reverb in a full band with keys and a piano drums bass 3 vocalists and another guitar audience between 50 to 1000.Ive never had problems being heard. Would a Twin be louder 🤔. Yes.So in the end its up to you. But my Deluxe works for me.
Does the deluxe have the same tone as the twin when clean ? I have a fender modeling amp and the deluxe setting is noticeably darker sounding than the twin and Princeton setting. Is that accurate ??
Groovy, man!
What is the best for a peddle set up
But what about the sought after blackface vibroverb
And classic tweed models...ehemm bassmans?
Yes. HANDWIRED. But at a cost the average working stiff can afford ... Good grief. Teach the Mexicans how to wire amps ... give them work and give us high quality, great sounding amplifiers that are not so doggone pricy.
Itd be nice if Fender spent the extra few bucks to put better quality caps and other parts in their amps.
Can I get cleans loud enough to compete with a loud drummer? I want it to replace my twin reverb. Thank you.
Itll be a bit broken up. Depends on the room. You might wanna ask the drummer to have a bit more dynamic range if you want it to be really clean.
You want to replace your Twin Reverb with the DeVille?
Why?
I own the Tweed 4x10 Blues DeVille made in USA and it is extremely efficient and loud, so there’s no problem with playing clean so loud you can’t even hear the drummer anymore.
It has the super nice and full clean sound and when turned up it gets this creamy tweed overdrive that contains so much grit.
The tone is just amazing, if you like the warm and bluesy crunch sound!
However I’m playing Funk more than anything else lately.
Therefore I’m looking for a Blackface/Silverface.
Your Twin would be perfect, but I’d also settle for a Deluxe Reverb, Vibrolux or even Princeton!
It cuts through well at low volumes. I hang just fine at 4 and it sounds clean. It breaks up slightly after that but in a very beautiful way. Sometimes I dial it to 5 or 6 and back off the volume on the guitar and it sounds amazing. This amp is very versatile. Good for any situation.
What about the super reverb.
The Deville with FX loop sells itself for versatility !
Add a chorus and analog delay and you can do anything really !
Playing a effects without a FX loop sounds like puke !
Can’t agree more, ever since I used effects loops, I can’t unhear the difference so now an fx loop is a must for me
So don't play the effects. Good grief. Do you REALLY need that junk?
I got the Hot Rod Deluxe...a friend of mine got the deluce reverb and i find that the hod rod has way less punching mids than the deluxe reverb...i think i'll buy that deluxe reverb...
does anyone need a special edition hot rod deluxe from the 80s? celestion speaker and purple colored.
The Mate Hey man! How much you sellin it for?
It's not fair to compare a Deluxe Reverb to a Hot Rod Deluxe .Not the same class like comparing a Corvette to a Camaro.Both great cars just made for a different market.
Never said What speakers are in the Deville.
It's that twang thang
How is he getting that distortion with the deluxe reverb?
+It sounded nothing like deluxe reverb cranked. Sounded like a pedal
I noticed that too. My DR is still totally clean w volume at 4. Must have had a pedal but you can’t see it. Tube Screamer?
It's practically false advertising.
The '65 Deluxe Reverb takes DELAY pedals well ?? I thought delay needs to be in an effects loop, no ?
It doesn't NEED to be. It just sounds a little better in a loop.
Is that Dave Grohl's brother playing?
Missing the best one the super
I’d really like to see some reviews of how people are playing guitar today, not the 50s. Mentions rock, plays no rock on the twin 😞
to compare, you should play the same licks with the same attack on each amp. Otherwise it's useless
Don't your ears work at all? You can hear the basic tone without the same exact riff!!
B strings out
Ragnar yohan And low E
Widowmaker Heartattack lol
G string is sharp.
I reckon the C string is out too
Hot Rod 👍👍👍super
Fender - Confusing Tremolo and Vibrato for over half a century!
Dude says "pulsating tremolo" and then the Deluxe's pedal says "Vib" on it. Almost as bad as the "Tremolo Arm" on the Strat he's playing. When your company has set the standard for things like Tremolo (on the amp) and Vibrato (on the guitar) you'd think they'd work out the kinks by now and get their shit straight. I know, I know...it's not "Vintage" correct if a Stratocaster's headstock was updated to the correct "With Synchronized Vibrato"...but, it sure would help people understanding the pedal they're buying or the sound they're hearing better...It's a small but valid beef. I don't think the world of guitars/amps would fall apart if you properly labeled the Deluxe's "Vibrato" Channel as "Tremolo" instead. Could you imagine if the Deluxe actually had a pitch shifting vibrato on it instead of tremolo? It wouldn't be the "classic" it is now. Anyway - historically correct incorrectness is still incorrect. (Oh - and I apologize to Full Compass as they aren't responsible for any of this.)
Jenson speakers, eh!!!
Point to point Deluxe Reverb and a 90's Blues Deville 212 here. That fretboard looks awefully thirsty...
I don't like the deVille in this video
I have a DeVille and it sounds a lot better than that!!
@@jjzuc I suspect it does 👍🏽
Fender used to make amps like zippos. Then they made amps like Bics. Now they make amps that make Bics look like Zippos.
any type of music , twin reverve for metal ! i don't think so.
Check out All The Witches - the guitar player uses a Twin and it sounds heavy as hell
Agalloch use a Fender Twin Reverb. They get a great mysterious, 'eerie' tone with it. Check out 'Our Fortress Is Burning':

The word “perfect” wasn’t used sparingly in this one. All these amps are apparently perfect for everything because the perfect pedal platform and perfect perfection.......
These amps are modern,overly bright crap. It’s true. The clean tone without the piercing, sterile sound is achieved in the old blackface amps that fender made in the 60s. These are nowhere near those specs and you can hear it.
The twin doesn’t sound bad, but it’s sterile. It’s better than the other two but that ain’t saying much.
The deluxe is overly bright with some punch and fizzes out with the overdrive....could have been the OD pedal used but it sounded bad.
The Deville should be a 2x12 at 40watts to replicate a Pro Reverb but the 60watt makes it sterile. Its a thin tone in clean mode, however the overdrive has a great body to it.
But, we don’t buy fender for an overdriven tone, we buy em cause there clean.
These amps are clean, but they lack any decent tone which isn’t present. Just my 2 cents, don’t hate the messenger.
I own a blues deluxe, it’s the best modern fender for the money. I have the limited edition black tolex one. Can’t go wrong at 40 watts. But blackface fenders from the 60s will surely kick its ass so it’s a great starter amp for sure!!
Deluxe reverb is the same as Twin Reverb without the twin speaker lol
Is that correct?
yeah and without the mid option as well I believe
Sorry, but that's incorrect. A Twin Reverb is 85 watts, a Deluxe Reverb is 22. The Deluxe will break up at a far lower volume than the Twin, which will stay clean even with a loud drummer. The Twin also has a mid knob. With the Deluxe, the mids are fixed at what would be about 8 on the Twin.
@@josephbolstad ohhh shiii I just got school'd
They use completely different tubes. That is a pretty significant difference. They definitely don't sound alike when you turn the volume up past 2. The Twin uses solid state rectification while the deluxe uses a tube rectifier. So they also feel completely different when playing them. They may both have trem and verb, but they are very different amps.
Lame playing
They are ALL too heavy. Obsolete. The new Tone Master Deluxe Reverb and Twin Reverb amps do everything these amps do but at 23 and 33 pounds! ‘nuff said!
Doctor Skull Grow a pair
The real tube sound pushed them over the edge... far over the edge. Say NO if it ain't got that GLOW
They are made in China so I shall forever pass on both the Tone Master amps. You should too, unless contributing to the Chinese Military with your money is appealing to you. Hope your children like being considered not fully human by the new Chinese over lords that you helped gain power.
@@PeterDad60 DAfuq?
@@williamholmberg9990 actually he has a point. The only downside of the tone masters are that the amp section is made in China. However, the cab is made in Mexico and speakers elsewhere (e.g., UK for the Celestion in the blonde variants)..
Couldn't understood what is the difference. Thumbs down
Raven Longman listen??
