Like so many players, I’ve long been a fan of Fender’s Hot Rod amplifier line. These are some of the most pedal-friendly amps out there and of course the price is right. That’s not to say that they’re perfect by any stretch. I personally never liked the upside down markings on the amp controls and the volume taper needed work, since it made it seem like the amps were louder than they really were.

One great thing about Fender is that they’re always willing to listen to their customers. You can see that in the newest incarnation of the amplifier line, the Fender Hot Rod III series. In addition to a sleek new look, all the above issues have been address by Fender. Thanks for listening!
