Now, thanks to our friends at Fender, we’re giving one lucky reader of The Guitar Magazine the chance to win one of the brand new Hot Rod Deluxe IV amplifiers to make themself heard in any scenario.

How do you improve on a legend? That’s the lofty task that Fender set itself when it came to overhauling the Hot Rod Deluxe for its fourth iteration, but the folks at Fender’s Ensenada factory know what they’re doing, and the result is a fantastic amp that offers more of what guitar players have come to depend on from the Hot Rod series. You get the two classic channels (with ‘More Drive’ option on the drive channel), 40 watts of valve power, and a single 12-inch Celestion speaker that you’d expect, but under the hood things have been tweaked to offer an improved playing experience.

The preamp circuitry has been revoiced to improve note definition, so your tone stays articulate and clear no matter how hard you push it, and to give a smoother distortion character overall. When it comes to ambience, the built-in spring reverb has also been enhanced to ensure that you get that classic and much sought-after Fender reverb sound at any volume. On the outside, the Deluxe’s new, lightweight pine cabinet is covered in classic black vinyl, but the iconic silver grille cloth has been lightly aged to give things a more retro look.

Our own Huw Price was suitably impressed when we reviewed the amp last year, stating that, “The Deluxe’s midrange characteristics and smoother drive come closer to the tone and feel of some of the high-priced and hand-made amps you might find in premium guitar shops.” For more information about the new Hot Rod range, visit www.fender.com, and to be in with a chance of winning a Hot Rod Deluxe IV for yourself, simply answer the question below.
