Fender H.O.T. Combo Amplifier
Unknown brand · amplifier
The Fender H.O.T. (model PR-141) is a solid-state practice combo from the 1990s with four selectable voices — bright and full on the clean side, crunch and lead on the drive side — plus spring reverb, a contour control, an effects loop and a headphone output. Worth knowing before buying one: the rear panel reads 75 watts, but that is the power consumption figure; actual output is around 25 watts.
