Fender Hot Rod DeVille Mode D'emploi page 4

Your new Hot Rod Deville/Deville 212 delivers the Tone
and Quality that has made Fender
standard in the music industry. The Hot Rod Deville is a
versatile musical instrument that features extensive tone
shaping abilities and virtually unlimited gain. Rated at
60W R.M.S. it includes among its many features, a unique
"More Drive" function adding a potent sonic tool to the
Hot Rod Deville's arsenal of tones.
The Hot Rod Deville/Deville 212:
• All tube preamp and poweramp generate that tone as
only tubes can.
• Three distinct channels: normal, drive and more drive,
for a broad pallet of Fender tones.
A. INPUT 1 - Plug your guitar in here.
B. INPUT 2 - A lower impedance and sensitivity input than
input 1, useful for guitars with active pickups. When
used with passive guitars, it provides a darker tone.
Both inputs are identical if used simultaneously.
C. BRIGHT/NORMAL - Adds top end brightness to the
NORMAL channel only.
D. VOLUME - Adjusts the overall loudness of the
NORMAL channel.
E. MORE DRIVE - When this button is pressed in, DRIVE
channel gain is increased providing more sustain.
F. DRIVE - Adjusts the amount of preamp gain in the
DRIVE channel. Turning this control up will increase
the amount of gain and overdrive. This control works
in conjunction with the MASTER control to set the
overall output loudness while the drive channel is
active.
G. DRIVE CHANNEL INDICATOR -

indicates "DRIVE", while red indicates "More DRIVE."
H. TREBLE - Adjusts the amount of high frequency boost
or cut in both the NORMAL and DRIVE channels.
NOTE: Like many vintage amplifiers, all tone controls
are pre-distortion and adjusting them determines how
the amplifier will distort.
I. BASS - Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the low
f requency range in both the normal and DRIVE
channels. Performance Tip: When playing at higher
volume levels, the tube power amp enhances bass
when it is overdriven. It may be necessary to use lower
bass settings when playing at high volume settings.
J. MIDDLE - Adjusts the amount of boost or cut in the
middle frequency range in both the normal and DRIVE
channels.
K. CHANNEL SELECT - When this button is pressed, the
amp switches from the normal channel to the DRIVE
channel.

"On/Off" switch (item T) is turned on, power is supplied
to the tube filaments eliminating warm-up time. Using
the standby switch during short breaks versus using
the on/off switch will increase tube life.
When the amplifier is in the off position, the amplifier is
completely shut down.
