The black control panel has a slightly different textured finish, with more visible graphics and ivory chicken head knobs, which don’t quite match the lettering - a very tiny annoyance that could easily be tweaked with a different shade of paint One change that isn’t immediately visible isĪ different construction material from MDF and plywood back to the solid pine used on the 50s originals, which provides a significant weight reduction as well as improving the cabinet’s resonant properties. Today, we’re looking closely at the Deluxe.īoth larger Hot Rod IV combos feature the same familiar cabinet design as their predecessors, which was in turn based on the legendary narrow panel ‘tweed’ amplifiers of the mid-to-late 50s. The 410 amp weighs about 50 lbs.Fast forward to today and it’s time for another update: three models from the new Mk IV range: the HR Blues Deluxe IV, the HR Blues DeVille IV, and a limited edition of the Pro Junior IV. The speakers included are of the Fender Special Design Eminence series, the 212 containing a pair of 12” Celestion A-Type speakers and the 410 featuring four 10” speakers. Its circuitry includes full PCB with valves and pots mounted directly to the circuit board. The DeVille features a 60-watt valve amplifier with three 12AX7 preamp valves and two 6L6 output valves. An external speaker jack is located next to the output tubes in the back and allows the signal to be heard out of both the amplifier itself and the speakers to which it is connected (which must have a 4- or 8-Ohm impedance).
Other features include a Bass, Middle, and Treble EQ, Master Volume, Presence, Normal/Bright switch, standby switch, preamp out and return for an effects loop configuration, and a Fender long-spring reverb (solid state for both the driver and the recovery circuits).
These channels are selectable via the "Channel Select" and "More Drive" buttons on either the control panel or footswitch (included), and they share EQ. Interior of a 410 speaker cabinet with amplifier and reverb removed.īoth the 212 and 410 feature three channels: normal, drive, and more drive.
