    Guitarists of all kinds play through Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amplifiers - Rockers, pop stars, country dudes and more all agree that they deliver unmistakable Fender tone--perfect amps for crafting your own sound, and extremely responsive to your favorite stomp-box effects. The GB Hot Rod Deluxe is a 40-watt 1x12" guitar combo amp especially fine-tuned for world-famous jazz guitar virtuoso and pop artist George Benson. It has the full bottom end characteristic of 6L6 valves, and a versatile all-valve preamp--including a 12AT7 up front for cleaner tone - especially with humbucking pickups.
    A 100-watt Jensen C12K speaker handles the immediacy of Benson's singing soloing style with clarity and range, and the solid-pine cabinet increases tonal resonance while reducing weight. Standard features on the GB Hot Rod Deluxe include clean and "drive/more-drive" channels, resounding Fender spring reverb, effects loop and more. Personalised exterior touches specified by Benson himself include grey-black vinyl covering, silver-strand grille cloth and a "GB" logo badge. A Road-worthy deluxe padded cover and a two-button footswitch are also included with the GB Hot Rod Deluxe. As a further option a separate matching 1x12" extension speaker cabinet adds output, fullness and greater stage coverage. (not included).

    Had this amp for a month, sounds fantastic, classic reverb that's perfect, and I even make use of the overdrive channel sometimes, (more suited for indie type music). I run a big pedalboard through this and it handles all my effects well...and it's usable at 'bedroom' volume as well as being able to rock the venue.

    I've played a ton of amps, but the Hot Rod Deluxe is SO hard to beat. I've owned a few and there is nothing quite like them - they have that wonderful low end and crystal clean top end, just beautiful... Great playing!

      But not really good for jazz.. I had one. Not sure if this Benson one will be different as he likes his stuff kinda hot, brightand piercing to cut through and orchestra. Which results in a time I hate.

    I put TAD STR 6L6's and an good AT7 in mine and it made a huge difference in over head. Fixed the volume issue for the most part. Personally I have never had any issue what so ever with mine and it is 17 years old.

    Exactly. The clean channel is now like having half of a Fender Twin. The second channel is the usual Hot Rod Deluxe gain channel. A perfect combination.

    If you swapped out all three preamp tubes from 12AX7 to the 12AT7 ... would that work and sound cleaner at higher volumes? Would distortion stay the same?

    • @wriglarzzz
      @wriglarzzz 8 років тому

      the headroom is increased. I'm doing with mine and adding an 80w speaker as well. I'll have super cleans and then kick in with a high gain distortion pedal.

    • @mailvilla
      @mailvilla 8 років тому

      +Larzz Wright: Thank you for your reply. Please let everyone here know how your GB amp sounds after you put in 3 of the 12AT7 tubes, and what is max volume level before any breaking up. I am wondering also why you would take out the 100W speaker that gives more head room, for a 80W speaker? Once you get your amp all set up, it would be great to here a demo too.

  • @soundknight
    @soundknight 11 років тому

    12AT7 is not a low gain preamp tube. It is a lower gain tube. eg. 12ax7 is highest rating 100%, 12at7 is something like 85%, not a big difference in gain or volume. 12AY7 is more different in tone and gain level, real dark jazz sounds work well with a NOC 12AU7.

  • @svenikea8428
    @svenikea8428 9 років тому

    Where does the AT7 go? I have a HRD but would love a later breakup... Help me somebody.

    • @Modwiz125
      @Modwiz125 9 років тому +1

      The AT7 goes in the V1, the first preamp tube. Basically, it is under the clean channel volume pot. I put an AT7 in my HRD a few days ago. I love it. I am getting a Weber Blue Dog alnico 100 watt hemp cone speaker for it this week. It is still being built. I love hand-made speakers.
      The AT7 allows one to turn the amp up to 4-5 without barking, very good volume and full tonal spectrum becuase the volume pot is open more. The AT7 transformed the HRD into a very sweet amp for those of us who use clean tones often. I also put TS 5881 tubes in. They give me 32 watts instead of 40. Also the 5881's have a killer tone.
      The AT7 change will astound you. Will cost you under 15 dollars. Switch back to 12ax7 if it doesn't work.

    You can't really go by anything Benson says these days.. Hot Rods are not really good for jazz at all. I had one, ended up hating it.. Not sure if this Benson one will be different as he likes his stuff kinda hot, bright and piercing to cut through an orchestra. Which results in a tone that causes me pain. Has anyone tried this Benson version up against the regular hot rod deluxe version?

    How does changing the speaker increase the headroom if the tubes are responsible for the distortion?

    • @L3ONARDO07
      @L3ONARDO07 8 років тому

      The speaker sensitivity can affect that, and also not sure about if this had to do with the wattage, but I swapped a 100 watt speaker for a 50 watt in a deluxe reverb and got earlier break up. So a speaker's design can definitely give you more clean headroom.

    • @mattfuller4307
      @mattfuller4307 8 років тому +1

      Because an inefficient speaker can cause a 100 watt amp sound like a 20 watt but an efficient speaker can turn a 20 watt amp in to a fire breathing beast

    • @javiceres
      @javiceres 7 років тому

      Besides, speakers might introduce overdrive on their own when pushed hard (which is not unlikely with a powerful amp like this) like the infamous Celestion ALNICO Blue overdrive

    • @TheHumbuckerboy
      @TheHumbuckerboy 9 років тому +2

      SickMetalAddict Yeah, but that is only one component in this particular case .The Tele bridge construction, woods , scale length etc etc are still in evidence . Teles with the original single coil neck pickup can still sound authentically jazzy with correct utilisation of the guitar's tone/ volume controls , string guage played through a suitably clean, warm sounding amp .

    • @SickMetalAddict
      @SickMetalAddict 9 років тому

      +TheHumbuckerboy There's nothing more than pickups that influences tone on guitar. Swamp ash is a versatile wood and sounds great on any pickup you like. The bridge pickup construction is irrelevant because the neck pickup is used for jazz.
