The Fender GB Hot Rod Deluxe Guitar Valve Amplifier Combo is a 40-watt 1x12" combo especially fine-tuned for world-famous jazz guitar virtuoso and pop artist George Benson. It has the full bottom end characteristic of 6L6 valves, and a versatile all-tube pre-amp, including a 12AT7 up front for cleaner tone, especially with humbucking pickups.
A 100-watt Jensen C12K speaker handles the immediacy of Benson’s singing soloing style with clarity and range, and the solid-pine cabinet increases tonal resonance while reducing weight. Standard features include clean and ‘drive/more-drive’ channels, classic Fender spring reverb, effects loop and more.
Personalized exterior touches specified by Benson himself include grey-black vinyl covering, silver-strand grille cloth and ‘GB’ logo badge. Road-worthy deluxe padded cover and two-button footswitch included. A separate matching 1x12" extension enclosure adds output, fullness and stage coverage.
