  • I bought a used mk4 recently. It was making the occasional noise like it might need new preamp tubes, so I took the opportunity to put a 12AY7 in V1 and a 5751 in V3. Its hair trigger volume knob thing is now not as bad, and the drive/more drive channels sound nicer than before. I'm not sure yet, but my overdrive pedal might be redundant now

  • Used one of these a while back. House amp already mic'd & soundchecked , as there were multiple bands on the bill, soundman insisted I plug in to it……best tone I ever heard , was reluctant to use my floor pedals. Fender has absolutely best built in reverb that breathes with your playing dynamics. Great demo & great playing, thanks.

  • For years, I heard people complain about these amps (even though they are a world wide best seller – go figure). But I recently was doing some digging around – there is a particular Mark Knofler performance, from Berlin in 2007, where I thought his Les Paul tone was absolutely unparalleled. Comparing a single song, Brothers in Arms, from that concert to other live performances of it, nothing else sounded as good. So I thought, which amp is he using? His Soldano? A Marshall? Tweed Bassman (which can be seen on stage behind him)? Nope. Turns out it was a Hot Rod Deluxe sitting back there beside the Bassman. I was a little bit speechless.

  • Do they all have a weird sound to the mids? Almost like the pickup is out of phase? I can't really explain it. There's some artifact affecting the tone of anything from the middle of the fretboard. It's on multiple guitars so it's not the guitar.

  • Can I use this if I live in apartment? I heard it’s too loud but I found a good deal on a 99 hrd

  • How do you have the volume up like that without blowing out your ears? I have an older HRD in my house and I can't put the volume past 1.5 before it gets really loud.

  • how about one amazing hot rod deluxe tone with 2 cheap easy moves?
    1.swap the first preamp tube to a ge (for cleans with p90's /humbuckers) or a vintage mullard (for strats and rock) they are sold used under 100$ on ebay .
    2.swap that crappy speaker to a celestion creamback (used on reverb/ebay under 100$)
    3.200$+ shipping and taxes and that's it! youre good to go for the studio or gigs.
    enjoy!

  • The first few moments of playing, clean tones, exactly the hrdx signature sound. Lovely. (And fantastic pedal platform thereafter)

  • Great video. Made me stop hating my HRD IV. Much better setting than anything recommended directly by Fender, at least that I could find,

  • Love my HRD 4, its just too loud though. I play at 3.3 on volume and it still hits over 100 dB's.

  • Thanks for this video especially showing your amp settings. I have a HRD IV I bought about three years ago and haven't gotten the tone I wanted yet. I will try your settings next time I play the amp. I had an older HR Deville I gave my youngest son and I sure missed that amp. Thats why I bought the Deluxe. It was slightly lighter in weight. And I wanted that tone I got from the Deville. I have watched several YT videos on this amp and yours was by far the best and most informative. I am not a pedal guy except for a chorus pedal sometimes. I like to just use what I can get out of the amp. Thanks for the tip on using the low input plug. I have never tried it. The manual says its for guitars that have a pre amp built in to them.
