The other day was a great day because I got a brand new amp. Its a black Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and it is one of my greatest purchases ever. When I say “my greatest purchase” I mean my impulse spending of my dad’s money. But yeah, it was worth it.
The Story, Review and more after the break.Okay, so my friend Danny recently got a nice new Laguna bass that was worth 800 dollars for an outstanding low price of 300 dollars. Unfortunately, he is new to the bass scene and he doesn’t have an amp. We set out to go look at amps at guitar center and while walking around we ran into Jon and Ananth, two kids that I haven’t seen in years. Well anyways, I mentioned that I was thinking of getting a tube amp and Jon just jumped up and said get the Deluxe. After looking around, it turns out they had a used one for 450 that was in mint condition so I knew I had to leave the store with an amp (I ended up getting a new one for 600, my dad wanted a new one cuz it has the warranty, pedal etc). The funny thing is that Dan never actually got an amp, just a couple picks for his guitar.
The amp its self is simply outstanding. I didn’t really think a tube amp would be that much different then my old amp, but I was definitely wrong. Not only does it go ALOT louder, but damn it sounds crystal clear. In fact it makes me sound better and has motivated me to play more/ learn new styles. On top of that I had a jam with Bubba, Andrew, henry, Jon and Ananth that really made me appreciate music even more. Basically though, the amp sounds great and I love it. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to get a high quality amp for their guitar. I don’t think I could go back to my old solid state.
