Fender George Benson Hot Rod Deluxe III - USA 2018

From Fender:

'The GB Hot Rod Deluxe is a 40-watt 1x12" combo especially fine-tuned for world-famous jazz guitar virtuoso and top-selling pop artist George Benson. Designed with superior tone, versatile features and an elegantly distinctive look befitting an artist of Benson's stature, the GB Hot Rod Deluxe smoothly handles the immediacy of his singing soloing style with notable clarity and range. With unmistakable Fender tone and great responsiveness to stomp-box effects, guitarists of all kinds will find it ideal for crafting their own sound.'

The Fender George Benson Hot Rod Deluxe's 40-watt power output ensures it can handle a range of settings, from practice sessions to smaller live performances.

The amp features three channels: Clean, Drive, and More Drive. The Clean channel provides a crystal-clear foundation, perfect for jazz and other clean-toned genres. The Drive channels add a touch of grit and bite, making it suitable for blues and rock styles.

One of its standout features is the spring reverb, a classic effect in many Fender amplifiers. This reverb imparts a sense of space and depth to your sound, enriching the overall sonic experience.

Built with reliable tube technology, the Hot Rod Deluxe III boasts a warm, organic tone. Its preamp section utilises 3x12AX7 tubes, while the power amp section employs 2x6L6 tubes.

This amp presents as near new, with very little use in its short lifetime. All parts are stock and the amp functions in perfect working order.

While tailored to George Benson's style, this amp is remarkably versatile. It's not limited to jazz; it's equally proficient in handling other genres like blues, rock, and even country. Its solid construction ensures it can withstand the demands of live performances and transportation.

Comes with its original Fender cover.
