Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Amp Black w/cover

The Hot Rod Deluxe is an all combo amp rated at 40 watts. It utilizes a single 12-inch Celestion A-Type Speaker. The Hot Rod Deluxe is a mono-channel amplifier featuring 3 switchable gain levels: "Clean", "Drive", and "More Drive" selectable on either the control panel or footswitch (if plugged in). Other features include a Bass, Middle, and Treble , Master Volume, Presence, Normal/Bright, and spring (solid state for both the driver and the recovery circuits). Footswitch and External Speaker jacks are also built in.

As an all-tube (pre-amp and power sections) combo guitar amplifier, the Hot Rod Deluxe features a pair of GC for the power section and two dual triodes for the preamp section. One additional 12AX7 tube is utilized for the phase inverter of the power section. However, the , reverb driver and recovery, and effects loop circuits are . The power section uses a "fixed " biasing scheme with an adjustable bias installed from the factory. The factory bias is 60 mA total for both 6L6s.

The physical appearance of the Hot Rod series is based on the mid-to-late 1950s "narrow panel" amplifiers with accouterments such as a top mounted, chrome plated chassis and black "chicken head" pointer knobs, but with textured black found on Fender amps from the 1960s onward rather than the tweed covering.

Unlike "vintage" Fender tube amplifiers, the Hot Rod Deluxe uses a (PCB) construction rather than Eyelet Board construction. Internally, there are two sets of circuit boards. The main circuit board contains the majority of the electronic elements and provides the base onto which the for the various controls, and the input and output jacks, are mounted. A secondary board provides the base onto which the tube sockets are mounted (although the pair of power tube sockets are mounted directly on the chassis with long leads connecting those to the secondary board).
