About the amp
For the refined Jazz artist this is a highly desirable amplifier. It has very subtle tone nuances that the discerning jazz player who tends to use less, if any, overdrive, will appreciate.
It uses a 100-watt Jensen C12K speaker, offering cleaner highs, stronger bass, and more headroom. You can crank it louder and stay clean.
The key difference in valves between the GB version and the standard version is that the GB version uses an ECC81/12AT7 for the phase inverter position, whereas the standard Hot Rod Deluxe uses an ECC83/12AX7.
Fender say:
“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.”
