Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Stealth 40W 1x12" Tube Guitar Combo Amp - Black

Built on the proven 40W Hot Rod Deluxe IV platform, the Guitar Center Exclusive Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Stealth pairs a commanding Celestion Redback speaker with striking blackout styling for a distinctive take on the celebrated tube combo. Two 6L6 power tubes and three 12AX7 preamp tubes provide the punch, headroom and dynamic response at the heart of the Hot Rod Deluxe, while the 12" Redback delivers a powerful, full-bodied voice built to handle everything the 40W power section can deliver. Normal, Drive and More Drive settings move from clear, articulate cleans through increasingly saturated overdrive, with three-band EQ, Presence and spring reverb providing familiar control over the final sound. Black Osnaburg upholstery, black grille cloth and blacked-out hardware give this limited edition its unmistakable Stealth identity, while an included two-button footswitch and effects-loop connectivity round out a versatile combo built for rehearsals, sessions and the stage.

Celestion Redback for Full-Bodied Tone and Powerful Response

The Hot Rod Deluxe Stealth delivers 40W of tube power through a 12" Celestion Redback, giving the combo a strong, authoritative voice with the headroom to stay composed across a wide range of playing levels. Two 6L6 power tubes provide punch and dynamic response, while three 12AX7 preamp tubes form the foundation for everything from clean tones to saturated drive. The Redback complements that tube platform with tight low-end response, a strong midrange presence and smooth, controlled highs, retaining definition as volume and gain increase. With substantial power handling and a full-bodied response, the speaker gives this exclusive Hot Rod Deluxe a distinctive tonal centerpiece suited to clean playing, overdriven sounds and pedal-based rigs alike.

Normal, Drive and More Drive Cover a Wide Gain Range

Three selectable voices give the Hot Rod Deluxe Stealth a straightforward progression from articulate cleans to increasingly saturated tube overdrive. Normal provides the clear, dynamic foundation that has made the Hot Rod Deluxe a popular platform for pedals, while Drive introduces added gain for crunchy rhythm sounds and expressive leads. More Drive pushes the preamp further for thicker saturation and sustain when additional intensity is needed. Treble, Middle and Bass controls provide familiar core EQ shaping, with Presence adding control over upper-frequency response and a Normal/Bright switch offering another way to tailor the amp's clean character. Fender spring reverb adds adjustable ambience, while dedicated Volume, Drive and Master controls provide practical command over clean and driven levels.

Limited-Edition Stealth Styling for a Bold, Stage-Ready Look

The Hot Rod Deluxe Stealth gives the familiar Fender combo format a darker identity with an exclusive collection of all-black appointments. Black Osnaburg upholstery wraps the lightweight pine cabinet, joined by black grille cloth, blacked-out hardware and black chicken-head control knobs for a cohesive look from front to back. A Limited Edition FSR badge distinguishes this Guitar Center Exclusive version, while the pine cabinet keeps the construction rooted in Fender's longstanding approach to lightweight tube-combo design. The result is a purposeful visual treatment that suits the Redback-equipped character of the amp while giving this limited-edition Hot Rod Deluxe an unmistakable presence of its own.

A Guitar Center Exclusive Take on the Hot Rod Deluxe

Powerful, versatile and dressed to turn heads, the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe Stealth brings Celestion Redback tone and limited-edition blackout styling to the proven Hot Rod Deluxe IV formula. Its Celestion Redback delivers a powerful, full-bodied response across clean and driven sounds, while Normal, Drive and More Drive settings provide the range to move from pedal-friendly clarity to saturated tube overdrive. Preamp Out and Power Amp In jacks form an effects loop for integrating modulation, delay and other effects around the preamp, and the included two-button footswitch provides convenient control during performance. Finished with its limited-edition blackout treatment, the Hot Rod Deluxe Stealth is a distinctive version of Fender's workhorse tube combo built for players who need power, flexibility and commanding tone.
