Hey Thanks so much for supporting MartyMusic! Also Tons of FREE courses at my site www.MartyMusic.com

Sweet! That’s actually the amp my parents got me used for Christmas in 1998. Still playing it 22 years later

Played one for 2 hours at a rental studio yesterday. Honestly, I could not really ask for more. The power is massive. The reverb sounds awesome. Using the master and drive was easy to get great tones. One of these used is a no brainer if a Princeton isn't enough for ya... Rockin.

i bought this earlier this month and it's a beast. i've never owned a high end tube amp and i feel as if it'll be a while before i feel really comfortable and use this amp in the way it should be used. what surprised me the most is that it's incredibly reactive to the smallest things that you change with your playing or with your guitar knobs.

That amp sounds epic. I love that warm, clean and with a little reverb tone of Fender amps. I have a little 1x12 65' Princeton Reverb that makes me smile every time I turn it on.

I added the little black box amp volume knob to my paddleboard going through the loop. I am able to crank the Deville up to whatever I want to get break up. Bring the volume knob down and the tone is still there just at not your shattering levels. Best 45 bucks I have ever spent. Picked up a used 90s version Deville made in the USA for 300 bucks in great condition. It’s an inspiration monster.

Sold! I've just started building out my gear, and I've been lost in the amp swamp for weeks, and this review FINALLY pushed me over the edge to what I want. It's on its way to me now -- thank you so much for this!

Man,im in love with that "dont let me down" intro in the beginning,definitely face melting

I've got a 212 DeVille that I bought new in 2001 - it's one of the last USA-made models. I prefer the 2x12's to the 4x10's for their deeper, fuller tone. This amp has been my #1 for many years and is still running strong today. It's got a fantastic clean tone & is a great pedal platform amp. Only complaint is the unusable Drive/More Drive channels, but I just stick to the clean channel & use pedals for OD & Distortion. Had to laugh when Marty said "It's lighter than a Twin". Very few amps are that heavy. The DeVille is still a heavy amp nonetheless, I suggest some sort of hand truck or road case with casters on it to move the DeVille around. But overall it's a great amp - I will keep it as long as I play guitar and probably will hand it down to my son when he starts learning how to play.

I can’t believe I just found this. I’m trying to troubleshoot my dad’s old Hot Rod Deville, this definitely gives me some inspiration to keep working on it

I bought one the first year it came out, 1996. Have played it thousands of hours. Great amp, never let me down. I've got many other amps but love this one the most.

5 years later. You make that amp sing. I bought mine in 1997, only played a few hours on it and it's in covered in house storage. I took the Hot Rod out on my deck one night and plugged in my guitar. I only had it up to 3 on the master volume. I live 1 mile from the fire station in our village. Friends were walking their dog around the block and were a mile away by the fire station. They could hear my guitar via the Hot Rod Deville. Volume 3. I hadn't used the amp because I got almost full time into acoustic guitar playing. Unplugged. I just got me a Lefty Tele. Black. I'm going to take the dust cover off of the hot rod real soon. Thanks for the Hot Rod review, Marty.

Ive had the 4x10 version of this amp for 10 years. Sounds great still, super flexible. I play pretty much everything on it. Lots of surf especially, and the reverb is unmatched. No reverb pedal I've ever owned, sounds this good.

These are definitely the best amps overall, I have an early fender hot rod deville 4x10, and I use it to play everything live from blues to metal with my pedals, and it never fails to deliver!

I agree Marty- had mine since 1997 and still love it. Just had it overhauled late last year.

I’ve personally always been a fan of the 4x10 Devilles. They sound a bit more sparkly to me, but not as sparkly as a twin. Deviles are my second or third favorite amp but I can just never get over the classic tone of a Fender Twin...

Classic Fender Clean that takes pedals to get whatever sound you need! Hard to go wrong! Love the SURF Tone with the REVERB! Thanks Marty! I've used a '59 Bassman Reissue for the same type of platform. ;)

Marty, I picked one up in Anaheim this last weekend. It was a hot day for Orange County folks; about 92 degrees. I picked up a very clean Fender Hot Rod DeVille 212 in perfect shape, complete with cover for $380. It was a steal. Then on back home to 116 degrees in the Coachella Valley. You don't know hot until you've lived here.

Best demo of this amp and any other amp that I’ve ever seen on KZfaq in my opinion!

the strokes used this amp a lot i been in love with this sound since my childhood i neeeed it

Could you do video for tips to record own songs? Love you marty. Thanks

I've had this amp for 10 years, played to crowds of 10s to crowds of thousands and its never let me down.

I love the sound of Fender tube amps! Heavy though. I bought a used Twin from a Guitar Center in CA. It came in an unmarked box, so the UPS guy didn't know what it was. As he moved the box to the porch he said, "MAN, THIS IS HEAVY!!!!" Lol. Cracked me up when he said that. He was a really strong looking guy too.

The "yes I would" over the Deluxe reverb! I gotta get one used now

Awesome Beatles jam on the intro 🤘🏼

Got a de ville for $300 used. Love it. Switched out speakers with green backs. Amazing

Marty, do a lesson on that jam at the beginning, that was very nice

I’m currently using a Twin Reverb but it’s borrowed and I want a gigging amp of my own. Shopping on specs alone I arrived at the Hot Rod Deville but needed to hear it to be sure it was the sound I need. This video pretty much sold me.

My first and last amp. Bought it 2006. It is wat to loud for my needs but I still want to keep it

Fender amps are terrific! I have a small G-Dec, will never understand why they stopped making them

I play a lot of surf rock, and I’ve been heavily eyeballing a Twin Reverb, but after hearing you surf on this thing, I wanna hear more!

I have the same amp ...a dream. I ve put a knob on in to reduce clean volume so you can drive it clean.. that in combination with a les Paul is awesome

Had my 410 for 8yrs....love it. Use line6 firehawk in front. Can't go wrong with this amp. Thanks for sharing!

Love this amp. I have the 4x10 version and it's loud alright. Traded a Marshall DSL40 for it and don't even miss the Marshall seeing as though I'm a Strat player and don't do anything really high gain.

Recently got one and it's the perfect match for my violin and all fuzz pedals

You were having some fun on that Bob tune. Man I need to learn how to play it.

It’s a great amp. Loud as hell and the drive is good for lighter hearted guitar music. Ultimately I sold it because I wanted a higher gain amp but this is a good pedal platform. And as Marty said, the reverb is AMAZING.

I always love the blues deluxe with a 15in speaker. I always wanted to build a point to point hand wired one . Then the VHT series came out with point to point wiring and I started going back to smaller play at home. Amps. I will most likely , make it a Fall project with a single 15in speaker . May even start out with a used BLUES deluxe and just hand wire a new board...into it . from a kit. But your right those amps are plentiful and affordable.

As I was shopping for a new amp you uploaded this, you never fail to impress me marty lol

Stir it up was definitely the best way to end a video lol I’m picking mine up off of craigslist tomorrow and the stoke is real

Dude......@1:42......the "yes I would " thing is BOMB! You're a star, man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes I would, yes I would.....

You’re incredible! Originally I was here to check out the amp, but then I got lost in your playing! Great job!

5:24-6:42 absolutely love it. Lesson please? Show me how to achieve such things with my Ditto Looper!! Id love to know that

Just what I needed before buying an amp this weekend. Much love and support from India !

I got that amp and I love it. ITS SO LOUD!! I'm hooking up a keeley dark side work station and I think that's all I will need.

Thank you I may actually have one of these coming my way some day it's nice to hear how it sounds and your opinions. Wow I'm really excited now.

Just got one for $250, I'm stoked,it sounds so sweet,that chime is sublime and the reverb is the best I've ever heard. I already own a Peavey Valve King combo, Blackstar TVP 30, Peavy Studio Pro, Burgera V5 and Vox ACTV8 4. I take turn daisy chaining them and run 18 pedals,looper, compresionsustainer, delays,overdrives and distortions.And I have 16 guitars.I have been diagnosed with G.A.S. syndrome.And it's terminal 🤪

Picked up one of those years ago at the pawn shop. It was my go to amp they had to test out any guitars I was purchasing at the time. It sat there for 6 months with a $799 price tag. I offered 500 they wouldn't take it. Couple months later, it was still sitting there. Now with a 699 price tag. Again offered 500. Nope. Few more months go by and now its Easter. 50% off everything in the store. It was still sitting there. Walked out with it for 352 including tax. Guest the guy should have taken my 500 when I offered it lol. Great amp! I still have it.

Bought one used, at guitar center this year as my first tube amp. Love it! It sounds great with so many pedals and is great on its own. So loud!

My dad has owned both this exact amp and a fender blues Junior since the 1990s. Both sound great, even when you aren't using any pedals. I think he's had to have the tubes replaced once in that time.

Hey Marty, thanks for the review just got one for 430$ and its amazing. It has such an amazing clean sound i love it. Greetings from Luxembourg.

I have a 2002 with The Eminence 12 inch speakers. Other than replacing The New Flat sounding JJ output tubes with 2 Vintage tubes it's been a great amplifier and it seems to do whatever I need. I was originally going to get A Hot Rod 40 Watt amp because I didn't know that they made a 60 Watt DeVille. But I was thinking 40 watts might not be enough for A larger room so I said that to the salesman and He told me about The 60 Watt DeVille Amplifier. I'm used to having 100 Watt tube stacks but I wanted something that was smaller this time. It's not a lightweight by any means at 55lbs but they can be carried and with a handcart it's easy. I got it used for A little bit under 700 from A Store. It was in really good condition. You can get them cheaper but they won't be in really good condition for less. I shopped around awhile for the one I bought and I tried out a lot of other brands before I bought it. I couldn't find a better amplifier for the price and I already knew what I wanted from the start. I guess that I am A Hot Rod DeVille Man.

Thank you. I was actually considering the Fender Champion 100, but wasn't sure. Now I have a better idea of what to look at

I also agree this is the amp in this price range. I worked for 14 years at a venue that had this and a Deluxe Reverb and I always recommended the Deville.

Which version of the Deville is this? Version IV perhaps? Sounds great though. Especially that nice little grit in the beginning. Love it.

Just bought a Vox VT40X hybrid modeler. I'd love to see you put it thru the paces. I love the warmth, the swiss army knife variety and the price. And its small gig loud. I think you'd enjoy it too. Thanks for everything.

Honestly yeah. I agree. I love a deville. Not even just a hot rod. Hot rod on its own are great for the price. But it don’t mean crap when your on a stage unless it’s a deville

Hey Marty could you do a part two on Texas Flood?

Recently got one of these and I can confirm, great solid tone, love it. I was having issues with a bit of a tube rattle, but just heard yours do the same so I guess it's cool? Thanks Marty!

Love the Hot Rod series. That clean tone on Little Wing.... so sweet.

Its funny because out of the marshall DSL100H JCM900 JCM800 VOXac30 fenderTWIN and the DEVILLE in my jam pad all the old pros go for the deville with or without pedals...

Awesome beginning song, may the Schwartz be with you. ☝🏻

Hello, Marty, thanks for the demo! Which model is this? I, II, III or IV?

Hey marty can you do a tutorial on Highway Song by Blackfoot??

I have that amp. It was my dream amp thanks to watching Mark Agnesi play one at Norman’s Rare Guitars. I absolutely love the thing. You’re spot on about the reverb Marty because it’s awesome. I picked mine up used at my local guitar center and haven’t looked back since.

I like the amp, it’s good that you mention the “good with pedals” bit. 😅 The Clean channel is my main channel. My pedals do the gain control.

Amazing Stir it up cover. You make it look so simple

Picking one of these up after work today used off marketplace for $250 I can't wait! Should be an upgrade to my peavey deuce VT

That improv tho man, you’re one hell of a creative genius you know .. keep it up Marty, keep it up my man 🤟🏼👌🏼

Can you do "love of my life" or "is this the world we created" by queen?

Loved the ending jam. Made me smile!

Please do more stuff like this I find this really entertaining would love to see a vox ac amp maybe the ac 30 vs the deville or the ac15 vs the Blues junior or bass breaker

Dick Dale moment aside, that sounds great. I have a Bassbreaker with twin 12" that I like. Does the job for me.

The best part is the smile at 6:40

Hey Marty, thanks for the fender hot rod devile amp review ...... and for the great serenading too!!

Please do 2nd back in black solo

That Reggae style solo at the end was juicy!

I could watch ya play all day Marty.

All the Fender tube amps kick ass. It's a matter of personal choice.

makes a great boat anchor!

I just pulled the trigger and bought a used one it sounds great, enough power to blow the windows out. One question though are you using a compressor on yours?

I've been looking at the blues deluxe reissue which is only 40 watts but this looks cool too. Don't know if I'll ever gig so might not need 60 watts. Thanks for the demo Marty

I've always wanted to try one of these amps! Great video, Marty!!

You are the Man Marty!! Thanks for all the content that you provide and being yourself.. Have successfully applied many of your teachings. Thank you sir!

I have the Michael Landau amp and love it. Great sounding review!

SMOKIN Into dude. Love ya Marty. Go Marty Music.

MARTY WINS FIRST PLACE KZfaq AWARD FOR THE BEST GUITAR CONTENT VIDEOS!.

Great video. Great playing. I'd love to see the boss katana 2x12

Thanks Marty! Because I watched this today.... I bought one TODAY!!!

You get it Marty. Thanks for being so awesome.

Just got one that was made in the USA from 1997! Everything you say is true lol. Amazing reverb and L O U D. I also noticed you have the same tube rattle as me lol. A little annoying but a common issue apparently. Probably from all that air/vibrations flying around back there. Its a beast of an amp.

I bought me a Peavey 6505 MH for my Birthday and a ENGL 1x12 BK ...I hope it will be awesome =D ... great video as always! Cheers from Germany ; D

Hello all you good people out there in Comment Land. Knowing that Marty doesn't respond to inquiries in the comment section, does anyone out there know what Marty is playing at the beginning of this video??? Is it part of a song, or perhaps it's his own ditty. I like it! Thanks!!

I have a Deville also and I love it. As versatile as it gets. And I have a Heritage also. I knew there was something about the tone that I liked haha

I agree. Bought one late last year.

Marty, so happy you did this video. I have one of the old school made in America Hot Rod Deluxe, and I actually use a fulltone ocd pedal, I know you like that as well... Can you recommend some good all around settings for an alternative music style, using this amp and the OCD pedal? I can't get this thing quiet enough to play in my house. I'm a returning musician, but haven't played in 7 years. It's bumming me out, and making me not want to practice. :(

I have PTSD from playing gigs where these were in the backline. Could never coax a useable tone out of them. Way too loud to get to the sweet spot. Break up sounds thin. Now I always bring my Blues Jr, which has a perfect stage volume.

Hi Marty! ‘Been following you for so long!!! I just bought the Tone King gremlin, still discovering it. But it’s great. I was of course looking for an amp to play at home but also with my band when we rehearse. And you, did you try it, what do you think about it? Thank you for your answer and happy new year.

Hey love you’re videos, think you could do a lesson on Never Going Back Again by Fleetwood Mac, love to learn that on guitar

Love ya Marty! (SM57) +( ÷13) = Live any stage, anywhere.
