A. INPUT 1 — A normal sensitivity input, ideal for use with most guitars.

Either input jack can be used with any type depending on the tone character you prefer. Experiment and use the input that sounds the best to you.

B. INPUT 2—A lower sensitivity input (-6dB) that provides cleaner response with high-output and pre-amplified guitars.

You can use Input 1 and Input 2 simultaneously with two guitars or a guitar and a microphone, for example. Input sensitivities become equal when used simultaneously.

C. NORMAL / BRIGHT — Press IN to boost the high-frequency tones of the Normal channel.

F. DRIVE—Increase the Drive setting to produce more distortion and sustain. Use lower Drive settings to produce cleaner sounds.

G. CHANNEL INDICATOR—

H. TREBLE — Adjusts high-frequency tone.

I. BASS—Adjusts low-frequency tone.

J. MIDDLE—Adjusts mid-frequency tone.

K. CHANNEL SELECT—

L. MASTER— Use to adjust the loudness of the Drive and More Drive channels in conjunction with DRIVE {F}.

M. REVERB—Adjusts the level of the Reverb effect.

N. PRESENCE—Adjusts tone at a point in the signal path after the distortion circuitry to provide unique ultra high-frequency tone shaping.

O. PREAMP OUT / POWER AMP IN — Multi-functional input/output jacks that can be used in a variety of configurations:

(1) Effects Loop—Connect PREAMP OUT to the input of your effects device and connect the effects output to the POWER AMP IN jack.

(2) Multiple Hot Rod Amps—Connect PREAMP OUT on the primary unit to POWER AMP IN on the auxiliary unit. The primary unit is used to control all auxiliary units, except for REVERB and PRESENCE which remain active on each auxiliary unit.

(3) Recording or Sound Reinforcement—Connect PREAMP OUT to the input jack of sound equipment.

Use instrument (shielded) cables with TS (Tip-Sleeve) plugs → for connections. Both PREAMP OUT and POWER AMP IN jacks are located before Reverb and Presence in the signal path.

P. FOOTSWITCH—Connect the included footswitch here to enable remote selection of the Normal / Drive / More Drive channels. The CHANNEL SELECT {K} button on the control panel is disabled when the footswitch is connected.

Speaker cable (unshielded) is superior to instrument cable (shielded) for connecting the footswitch.

Q. POWER INDICATOR—Illuminates when the unit is ON. Unscrew the red jewel to access the bulb (type T47) for replacement.

R. STANDBY—Use Standby instead of switching the power off during short breaks to avoid having to wait for the tubes to warm up when you want to start playing again. Also, keep the amplifier on Standby for the first 30 seconds when you first switch the power on to give the tubes a gentle warm up cycle.

Using Standby will extend the life span of your amplifier's vacuum tubes by reducing the shock of the heat-up /cool-down cycle on the tube filaments.

S. POWER SWITCH—Switches the unit ON/OFF.

T U V W X 6L6 6L6 12AX7 12AX7 Y 12AX7

T. POWER CORD—Connect to a grounded outlet in accordance with the voltage and frequency ratings specified on the rear panel of your amplifier.
U. FUSE—The fuse protects the unit from electrical faults. Replace fuses only with the type and rating specified on the fuse holder. If the unit repeatedly blows fuses, have the unit tested at an authorized Fender® Service Center.
V. MAIN SPEAKER JACK—One of the following speaker configurations (internal or external) must always be connected when the unit is ON to prevent damage to the amplifier:

DeVille™ 410 / Deluxe™ 1. 8Ω 2. 8Ω + 8Ω 3.* + 4Ω DeVille™ 212 1. 4Ω 2. 4Ω + 4Ω 3.* + 2Ω

*Insert an open plug (without speakers connected) into the Main Speaker jack {V} for configuration three (3).

W. EXTERNAL SPEAKER JACK—This jack is wired in parallel with the main speaker jack and must only be used with a speaker load or an open plug connected to the main speaker jack, as shown above in the MAIN SPEAKER JACK diagram.

X. FENDER® GROOVE TUBES® GT6L6B—Your new Fender amplifier comes equipped with the highest quality tubes available, sourced from various manufacturers worldwide. Because of occasional irregularities in supply, the specific tube type used in each amplifier is subject to change without notice.

When replacing output tubes, please note the specific tube markings on the original tubes factory supplied with your amplifier. For example, 6L6 output tube types used by Fender include, but are not limited to: 6L6GC; 6L6WXT; 6L6C; 6L6GE; etc. The installation of a different type may require significant adjustment by a qualified technician to avoid reduction in performance and tube life.

Additionally, Groove Tubes® tests and sorts many of our output tubes based on their measured performance. The sorted tubes are marked with a label on the base with coarse ratings of BLUE, WHITE, & RED plus fine ratings of 1-10. If your amp came supplied with, for example, a pair of matched GT-6L6-GE power tubes ranked at WHITE-6, then any pair of GT-6L6-GE power tubes marked with a course rating of WHITE will be a good replacement. If the tube replacements are marked as WHITE-6, they will be a perfect direct replacement.

If you have questions or concerns, contact your Fender dealer or authorized service center.

Y. PREAMP TUBE STABILIZER—A vibration-absorbing stabilizer is installed around the preamp tubes to minimize the tube microphonics that normally develop over time. The stabilizer can be used with all preamp tubes compatible with your Hot Rod amplifier.
