What's up youtubers welcome back to the channel. This is basically my first official video of 2020 I uploaded some one-minute clips couple weeks ago and a nam vlog last week as well as a Josh Smith video of him explaining His mirror and fuzz at nam which is really cool But this is basically my first video in the studio of 2020. So let's have it to it So in today's video I'm gonna express my love and gratitude for one of my favorite amps of all time this bad boy My hot rod the luxe So this is my hot rod the lux from the mid-2000s This was my first real two-bam. I got it when I was about 14 or 15 when before I was playing a lion six spider two or three can remember and this amp has stayed with me ever since From Virginia to Berkeley to LA this amp has been by my side Every step of the way and I love it So we can all agree that the fender hot rod the luxe is one of fenders best selling amps of all time and it's amazing And I love it has great clean tones great reverb and it's a great pedal platform Yes, the old right channel is pretty bad, but with the right pedal you can get a great old right tone as you'll see in the company clips So there are three reasons why I love the fenders hard the luxe number one accessibility If you're trying to buy your first two-bam the fender how it the luxe is a great starting point They come in at well below a thousand dollars and I'm pretty sure if you look on free rib or on Craigslist you can find one well below that price Also every venue and probably the world has a how are the luxe as a backline amp So you're practicing throughout at home Have your tones and everything go to the gig and they have a hard to luxe there You have the same tone as in your bedroom on the stage, which is awesome Also there in every music school probably again in the world Berkeley Every guitar room had a hard the luxe and I loved it Tomofo Gita might teach it from Berkeley Love the hard the luxe. I'm gonna go over his settings in a bit number two the clean tones Yes, they're not too rock or high-fi clean tones, but their signature fender clean tones and it's awesome You can get the quote-unquote Jm Type scoop mid type clean or you can get glassy pristine clean with humbuckers as a go over also So the third reason I love the fender hard at the luxe is because it's a great pedal platform I'm pretty sure most pedal manufacturers test the pedals through the hard the luxe Why because it takes pills great and everyone has them My buddies even ever takes the facts test their dumbbell inspired pedals such as the ultrasonic Ultrasonic's HRM and the steel string all through a hard the luxe and or a hot rock the bill and it sounds awesome So no matter if you have distortion overdrive a cutron delay more reverb octave pedal whatever you want It'll sound good through hard the luxe and you'll love it. All right, so that's why the hard drive the luxe Let's get into some playing Oh Oh So Those were the tones and after listening to it back on logic to my monitors It sounds great. It's great clean tone great reverb great pedal platform Just an all-around great entry level tube amp and I love my hard at the luxe So in conclusion in my opinion, I want to say If you don't sound good through hard the luxe You won't sound good through any other amp in my opinion So guys that's today's video hope you enjoyed the video if you did please press like and subscribe See you guys next time
