selmac Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I've been looking around for a while for a new amp. right now I use an old ibanez GX 40B bass amp which, well, fails to inspire. its pretty un reliable and cuts out and goes all "scratchy" previously whenever I giged it was with school and I used a micked peavey, some kind of bandit. my requirements for a new amp were allish tube, good clean, and enough power that I wouldn't have to worry about it. I was also leaning towards a minimum of 2 12" speakers but I don't really have any reason for it. I mostly just play in my room but do gig and jam a bit. reason I'm posting is because the reviews I've read about the hot rod deluxe are either people love it and say it rocks or they say it's a piece of garbage save your money. I was looking for opinions/experiences with this amp and whatever other advice you could give. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marksound Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I have one. I like it. It's a 1x12, though. The DeVille is a 2x12 (or a 4x10, your choice). Take your guitar to Big Box Guitar Place and spend the day. Play a bunch of amps and let your ears be the judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selmac Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 i went on saturday and again today to long and mcquade (guitar store) and was tying out amps. the salesperson seemed to be in love with traynor amps so i tried a bunch of those as well but in the end I bought a Fender Hot Rod DeVille 2x12". I love it! It's my first tube amp and It's made a convert out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
