Could not be happier with this amp! The clean channel is magnificent and the overdrive has a very natural, warm feel to it. The amp will be gigged for the first time this Saturday, so that will be the true test of its mettle, but I have no worries! Great service from Andertons. Received item really quickly and this was the cheapest price I could find!

A really great versatile amp. The clean channel is immensely powerful with lovely tone all the way up its range. The drive channel gives you everything from a subtle crisp crunch to a nasty fuzz. My Rickenbacker never sounded so good. It also looks great - a sexy silver suitcase of sound.

I am a professional gigging musician but until recently have only played acoustic guitar. I wanted something that would sound great, be simple to use, give me clean and rocky sounds to suit a variety of covers and be loud enough to play big venues like Revolutions and O'Neils. This amp does exactly what I wanted. As recommended by the really helpful staff at Andertons. Very happy with my new amp. The controls aren't particularly sensitive and it can be a little harsh if you have the treble too high but once I got used to the settings this is exactly what I needed.

Bought this amp in august and only have good things to say about it. For the money i dont think you'll find a better amp. the drive channel has an awesome tone, real crunchy but still crystal clear. I play in a bluesy/rock band and this amp is perfect. one word of warning though..its LOUD! I've played gigs in pubs and small halls and the volume hasn't gone above 3 on the master drive channel. If your considering buying this amp just go for it cos you wont be dissapointed.

finally decided to make the plunge and upgrade my , i had the choice between the hot rod and the cornford roadhouse. I am actually glad i picked the hot rod which has such an impact in sound the drive channels on this amp enable me to play across a wide range of styles. this amp also is great for gigging and has now replaced my peavey classic 30. highly recommend this amp which is very versatile.

I bought my HRD back in 1996 just after they first came out. The first thing to say is if you cant turn it up - dont bother - like most valve amps it doesnt sound great unless the power section gets worked - and that means turning it up over 4 on either channel. I'd recommend a Dr.Z airbrake attenuator if like me you want to use this at home! The clean channel is excellent - warm, crisp ringing tones with a nice fuzzy overdrive as it starts to break up around 11 oclock, moving through to a heavily overdriven, but quite harsh drive as you turn it up towards maximum. Theres quite a bit of headroom on the clean channel too and the amp reacts well as you change your picking strength & style. The spring reverb unit is superb and adds more dynamics to the sound of the amp. The basic sound of the stock amp is great for cleaner blues tones but its well documented that the amp isnt best suited for heavy rock tones in its default configuration - a marshall is more that sort of thing. The drive channels can give you a bit of extra bit to the clean channels crunch, but can get a bit harsh as you turn the gain up. Fortunately you can get some excellent replacement tube and speaker kits that will tune the amp more toward a particular style at a reasonable cost. Build quality on mine is very good - its very solid and youre advised to avoid climbing stairs with it! Overall an excellent amp for those typical fender clean tones.
