Hello everyone,
I was recently combing the pawnshops for so cheap pedals to mod up when I saw a nice Fender Hot Rod Deluxe there, the guy said that it had some major buzzing going on, so he was selling it for $150, when I was able to get my jaw off the floor I took it home and found the screw holding the speaker on we're incredibly loose and did a tighten and the amp sounds incredible.
I will say that I know next to nothing about these amps, so I was hoping that you guys could fill me in on this. I'm not sure if it's a HRDlx 1 or 2 and I'm not too sure what the reliability is on this thing. The model number is PR 246.
Anyone play these things and what are your thoughts from your use?

Good score, my favorite amp. 8)

The v1 is made in USA until around 2001 when production moved to Mexico for v2, which is virtually identical to the v1. V3 is still made in Mexico, denoted by a black faceplate, with some circuit revisions.

Look for a sticker like this one inside the cab, to get a better idea of the year made.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a used USA model.

Anything I need to keep an eye (or ear) out for?

I'll make sure the reverb is working.

What speaker came stock in a HRD?

Yep, just check out all the controls and channel switching, make sure everything works well and sounds good. The stock speaker is an Eminence special design, gold label, which sounds pretty good. I used the stock speaker in mine for many years before I decided to try something different.
