I have a Hotrod Deluxe 1 that has been in my family since 1991 and I’ve been gigging with it since 2012, an absolute workhorse of an amp and sounds amazing. The one gotcha is there are some parts in it which will eventually burn up and possibly damage the circuit board if not replaced in time. I suggest taking it to a tech to have them replace some resistors with higher spec ones if you plan on using the amp for more than 5 years. Doesn’t need to be done immediately but will cost much more to repair if it goes too long
Unfortunatly mines going to a tech tomorrow, caps resisters all heat marked on the board. probably cost a fortune 😓
I got one in the shop get new tubs
28 years can.t believe it still rocks
Actually it didnt cost that much, £70 and service included, changed the big caps and one resistor, spot on. I have also changed the V1 to a 12AT7 and it sounds great, SRV tone can be achieved 👍
I replaced the 12AX7 valve in V1 with 12AY7 and the result was outstanding.
Enjoy! Yeah, It has been a while since I used the amp but I remember doing that as well. It makes it a lot tamer and fun.
I ordered my hot rod deluxe a few days ago. I also have a MIM telecaster. Can't wait for my amp to come in.
Rock on! You'll love it.
Isn't that a American Special Telecaster? 🤔
I do love that Hot Rod Deluxe!
About to pickup a hot rod deluxe 4 on Monday. Bought it second hand for $450CAD what a deal
You're gonna love it! ✌️
Great playing, love the amp! :) Keep it up, I‘m subbed :D
Thanks a lot!
I'm about to pull the trigger on this myself. Good to know it's good for home use. I was wondering about that.
hjplant do you have a recommendation for which one to use? I'm seriously thinking about one of these amps for home use, and the volume is a bit of a concern.
@@covblaze42 I've had it for a week now and mine is actually fine for home use. I don't think you'll have a problem.
@@ghost-youth1037 do you have the 1x12 or the 2x12 blues deville
@@martinus19 The 1x12 HRD
I’m undecided to get the blues jr or the deluxe because I play at home and was worried about the volume being to loud. I guess I can get the deluxe and use a JHS black box pedal to attenuate
Perfecto sonido 👍🎸🎶
Thank You!
Are you using any pedals in that video? It sounds great!
Unfortunately, I don't remember. This was a while back. I think the most I used was a Keeley Caravan for some reverb. Not sure if I'm using a drive pedal. Sorry.
FWIW, I'm thinking about selling my Hot Rod Deluxe. I love the amp, but it's WAY too loud for home use. Even with the attenuator I ordered for it, I still have to turn the amp volume knob and the knob on the attenuator almost all the way down. So, I wouldn't recommend this amp for home use.
You could also put a volume pot on the fx loop, and try to tame it a bit. I got a Deville and can use it at my apartment just fine.
Does this amp work well with pedals?
Yes, it does!
@@ashishashen it's a brilliant amp all round, and a very good peddle base
Would you go hot rod or Princeton for home use? Just for cleans of course-I think the hot rod is a better pedal platform too right?
Definitely Princeton! But if you plan to play live in a loud setting then Hot Rod. Princeton would be fine for Jazz/Blues trio setting.
Princeton is chimier/ brighter, hot rod is more ballsy/ boomy, louder, ang more highly headroomed of course!
I'm thinking of getting a hot rod deluxe, do you think it's ok for home use like just messing around on it but also recording music? I heard a volume pedal can help
I'm thinking of trading in my blues jr 4 to get one as well and I live in apartment. I still get decent volume playing in the apartment so ill probably keep the same eq settings on the hotrod deluxe I guess with master on 5 and volume at 2
If you don't plan to play it live then I would recommend something smaller. Like a Princeton or blues Jr.
I bought the same amp. What microphone do you use to record?
Tasteful playing brother and cool tone too!
Is the Celestion A type in?
Thanks, man. Yes, It's the stock Celestion A speaker.
@@ashishashen and it's the MUSICIAN first and last!!!
Stay inspired and keep it up!!!
Is that some Grateful Dead you are playing??? (Whatever it was, it sounded great by the way)
Fire on the mountain!
Hi my older hotrod becomes distorted (even if i dont want to) at volume 4 and above what volume does urs start distorting
I never ran it past 5 and It was pretty clean with single coils. I guess if you are using hum buckers then it might distort early.
@@ashishashen im using single coil texas specials 😭
@@gilku4725 that's why
How is it different to the Deville or Deville Michael Landau?
Can't comment. I have no experience with the other two.
hello, good video, how much volume does the clean channel break ?, it´s a good amp to overdirve pedals?
Probably at around 5/6, depending on the guitar. You can get a ‘master volume module’ to plug into the effects loop which will allow you to crank the clean at a lower volume though
HRD are known to take pedals extremely well, overdive and/or distortion in front of the pre amp, plus effects loop for delays, chorus, univibes and such
nice! how quiet is this? Loud TV level volume/monitoring volume (like 89 db) or quieter than that? Thanks a lot
It can get as quiet as you like. It's just doesn't sound that good at low volumes.
Sounds great. Doesn't have that singing sustain, but who cares?
Could you indicate an amp that has a lot of it so that I will understand what you mean?
Something like a Vox or truer tweed?
(Sigh) tune your guitar before hitting record button bro
(facepalm) I'll keep that in mind next time. Thanks!
This looks like it has a barrel saddle bridge. You can't get these things perfectly in tune all the way up the neck.
