I've been saying for years that Fender should just swap a tubescreamer clone into the Hot Rod amps' drive channel. Looks like they finally tried the idea out, sort of...
...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    i'm sort of interested in it though i'd probably never use the internal effects unless by some miracle of nature i'm not running any pedals in front. otherwise, they're in the wrong spot.

    looks cool. I still haven't seen or been able to play one just yet, it's a cool idea anyway. I've heard that some people do like them.

    For the money though I can get an Allen Sweetspot, and lug my own efx. Some people hate stomp boxes though and I guess the footswitch is simpler.

    The HRD would be awesome if they would just build in two tubescreamer circuits into the drive channels.. drive and then cascade that into more drive...

    I think if I got to design one...that's what I'd do.


    Good to see you around again MIG.

    For about the same money you can get this lil' gem:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/58-Fender-Tweed-Princeton-just-serviced-and-ready_W0QQitemZ190067567890QQihZ009QQcategoryZ38074QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    For $5 more, you can buy a brand-new Deluxe Reverb RI ($800), Maxon OD-808 ($135), and an MXR DynaComp ($70). You get essentially the same effects, 2 more watts, and 2 more inches of speaker.

    don't teese me.


    Clark Beaufort is in that range too.


    at some point I wish I just had a victoria reverberato, then I could have any tweed I want with plug and play tube reverb and tremolo.

    Then I have that little voice in my head that says....stop gear hunting and start playing better....:D

    I know what you mean. If I spent as much time practicing as I do on ebay I'd be touring right now.
