This example has received the Fromel Mod upgrade, which addresses the most criticized stock weaknesses: the volume pot has been replaced with an audio taper unit for smoother, more granular control, the filter caps have been replaced, and additional internal work has been performed as part of the same service. The result is a more usable, better-behaved amp than a stock unit. Overall condition is excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hot Rod Deluxe debuted in 1993 and quickly became one of the most widely gigged American combo amps of the modern era. This is a 1993 example — a first-year unit — with the date confirmed by serial number and production codes. Transformers are Schumacher throughout: power transformer code 606\/905, output transformer code 606\/909, reverb transformer by Marvel Electric Corp (code 989\/9910). All four transformers are original. The cabinet is solid pine with original black tolex in excellent shape, original grille cloth, and an original pine baffle. The Fromel Mod is a well-regarded aftermarket upgrade specifically developed for this platform; it is not a hack job but a targeted set of improvements to known design shortcomings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCabinet condition is very good, baffle is very good, chassis is very good. Grille is good. Covering and handle are original. Knobs are original. Power tubes are Ruby 6L6s; preamp tubes are two JJ 12AX7s and one Groove Tubes 12AX7. All the tubes were tested, the tube sockets and pots cleaned prior to listing.  Reverb tank is original and onboard reverb is functional. The original footswitch pedal is included — good condition — but no cable is included with it. No case or cover is included. No documentation is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDate: 1993\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 48 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDimensions: 23.5\" (W) x 18.75\" (H) x 10.5\" (D)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWatts: 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCase\/Cover: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Material: Tolex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Color: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCovering Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Material: Solid Pine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Condition: Very Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eCabinet Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Condition: Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Material: Pine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Condition: Very Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBaffle Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Material: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Condition: Very Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChassis Repairs\/Changes: Fromel Mod Upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eKnobs Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHandle Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Brand: Eminence Fender Special Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Size: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eSpeaker 1 Condition: Very Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Transformer Manufacturer: Schumacher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Transformer Manufacturer Code: 606\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Transformer Date Code: 905\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Transformer Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOutput Transformer Manufacturer: Schumacher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOutput Transformer Manufacturer Code: 606\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOutput Transformer Date Code: 909\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOutput Transformer Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eReverb Transformer Manufacturer: Marvel Electric Corp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eReverb Transformer Manufacturer Code: 989\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eReverb Transformer Date Code: 9910\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eReverb Transformer Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eReverb Onboard: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eReverb Tank Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePedal Included: Yes (no cable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePedal Condition: Good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePedal Original: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Tubes: 2 x 6L6 (Ruby)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePreamp Tubes: 3 x 12AX7 (JJ, JJ, GT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFilter Caps: Fromel Mod Upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInternal Repairs: Fromel Mod Upgrade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePower Cable: Grounded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eGrille Material: Polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHandle: Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eDate Noted: Serial #, Codes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePotentiometers: Fromel Mod Upgrade — stock linear volume pot replaced with audio taper pot for smoother volume control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe sure to check out the other cool guitar related stuff on our site!\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/amps\" title=\"Vintage and used guitar amplifiers at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003eVintage \u0026amp;
