Fender Hot Rod DeVille 410 III 60W 4x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp Tweed

Bought the Deville a few years ago.First off, it's heavy.Second, it's loud.It's a fantastic amp for the stage.Very versatile.The sounds that you can dial in are awesome.I use mine for blues to rock.The clean is clean.It cuts through the mix.For home playing in a small room or venue,I added an attenuator.I can soak the tubes and turn the attenuator down and get the great sounds.It's been very reliable as I would expect from fender.

Love this amp! Looks and sounds great!

I bought this amp used from GuitarCenter.com a few weeks (for well below the new price). It shipped out to me very quickly and it in the condition that it said it was in (a little beat up, but honestly, who wants pretty gear). I'm currently recording my own record and needed an amp in the studio. I did a little shopping, compared a few amps and found this baby to be the one that had that "thing" guitarists are always looking for. Now, I don't claim to be a great guitarist and I'm definitely not someone who is obsessed with tone but what this amp delivers makes me very happy. The cleans sound fantastic! They're bright and well balanced and sound good with my Gibson Les Paul (P90) and my 70s era Epiphone Wilshire. Now, I read a lot about people not digging the overdrive channel. I'm not sure why people don't dig it though. No, you probably don't want to use this amp in a metal band. But those guys tend to buy half stacks and stuff anyway so I wouldn't apply a review with that metal tone in mind. The overdrive channel has a great sound, its dark and dirty and makes for a very unique sound when used in conjunction with a fuzz box and other toys out front. All in all, I love this amp and can't wait to gig with it! It sounds great in the studio and it definitely has enough power to fill out some clubs here in town!

I bought my Fender Hot Rod Deville 4x10 in about April of 2015. First of all I want to say it has a great sound. However, one week after I bought it, the plastic handle split. I called Fender. They said it was a known problem and they sent me a new handle. Within a couple of weeks after replacing the handle, the entire handle stripped out of the amp (see attached picture). I have several high end Fender guitars and I handle my instruments with care. This was simply from carrying my amp up and down stairs to rehearsals and gigs. I called Fender again. They offered to send me new screws. Ok. It didn't sound like a great solution, but maybe better than Guitar Center who offered to just glue the screws into the amp (What?). I got the new screws and installed them. Once again - the picture shows the result. The screws were totally stripped. I called Fender. Talked to the same guy. His response - they have a five year warranty, he said they would pay for the repairs. I just had to take it to a certified repair shop. Since I bought it at Guitar Center I asked about taking it there. He said Fender does not acknowledge Guitar Center as a certified repair shop - even though Guitar Center claimed they were. The closest repair center was nearly an hour away. Fender does not offer to provide you with a loaner amp. With several gigs coming up I was looking at borrowing another amp. My other concern was, Fender's previous attempts at fixing it were just band aids - what assurance did I have that they wouldn't try just another band aid? Now I'm starting worry about things like - what would have happened if I hadn't noticed this before it stripped? It could have broken while I was carrying it up or down stairs and injured people or property. So I repaired it myself by putting new screws in with bolts on the underside - which Fender should have done for an amp that weighed that much. This solved the problem - hopefully for the long term. With all that said, I realized at a gig this week that my Master Volume knob is not working. Called Fender. Same guy, same story. I'm now looking at that hour trip one way to the repair center. The bigger issue - how many more of these problems are in store for this amp. It has a great sound. But I am very disappointed in the quality of this product when it comes to the material components. I just wanted to share this in the hopes that no one will get hurt from the obviously known problems with the handle. And, hopefully so you'll avoid the constant disruptions by frequent trips to a repair shop, borrowing amps, etc. It has a great sound, but it is a huge disappointment. And I have to say, I will never hold Fender in the same regard has I have in the past. They have really cut corners on this one. Best of luck to you.

This review is not necessarily a knock on the amp itself, I'd just like to share my experience with this product because it might be a common occurrence. I bought this amp at the store in Jacksonville and had i known anything about tube amps at the time, i would have realized that they sold me a broken amp. It wasnt until 3 or 4 months later that I finally took it into the shop to see why it was whistling and why I couldnt get a clean tone. First of all the warranty is bull. They told me at the store it covers the tubes, and knowing that I would eventually have to replace the tubes, I thought it would be a good deal. Long story short it didnt cover the tubes and my amp was in the shop for a month while we convinced fender that a 5 month old amp should not have blown tubes. What the repairman also told me is that someone had messed with the amp however there was no record of repair. What this meant was that guitar center probly knew there was something wrong with it, tried to fix it, then sold it to me. After a month, I finally got it back and with new tubes it sounds great. I still can't figure out if I like the amp. For starters, its annoyingly heavy. I'm a college student and my apartment is on the second floor of our building. Lugging this thing down the stairs, into my car, then into the jam room is such a hassle and i feel like i might be doing damage to the inside. Then, once you turn it on, it's the loudest thing you'll ever hear in your house. Plus you have to turn it loud enough to really appreciate the tone. The tone on the clean channel is sick. Playing the blues on it makes me sound like a way better guitar player than I actually am. I'm still working on finding the exact settings I like and what channel to use but there is a lot of versitility in this amp, event without a lot of knobs. If i had to do it over again, I would probably not buy this amp and I would never and will never buy anything from guitar center again. Everyone who's been there knows the people working there are idiots who only help older men looking at the most expensive guitars or just sit around and play the intsruments at the loudest volume possible. I think I would buy a less expensive solid state that is easier to move and can be played at quieter volumes. Even though I love having it, I just don't need this amp yet and the hassle really hasnt been worth it.

Me- own three fender amps-bassman 59, deluxe reverb, Newer G-Dec. I plugged into this amp today without any care. I just wanted to play this Telecaster I've been fancying in a nice amp. Plugged in and went Wow! I thought maybe it's just the guitar(priced about 1600 so really nice electronics). So I grabbed an epiphone lp(about half a grand) with soap bars and once again WOW! Alright ultimate test fender squire.....once again Wow. The squire sounded 10 times better. I played in middle position and it sounded incredibly close to Clapton soloing sound of today(though I could still I was playing a squire-haha). Tried a few more guitars like hollow, and semi hollow body guitars, an explorer..... Really bright distinct distortion on all. Please try this amp out.
