I have a 2019 Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV in tweed. It's a fantastic amp save for one thing. A few months ago, the reverb started doing this distortion thing. The more reverb I use, the more distorted it gets. Anyone have any thoughts as to what this might be?

Have you tried replacing the tube to see if that makes any difference?
Bear in mind I have absolutely no idea about amp repair...but it would be something I'd test before going any further... I'm assuming the HRD has tube driven reverb here.

my Carvin Belair had a similar problem
it was not so much the tube for the reverb
but a crack in the solder joint of a tube socket
the vibration of the reverb may be just a symptom
I would remove the pan
touch the tip of the soldering iron to each connection for the tube sockets
worst case is you have good socket connections and that isnt it

Honestly, it's not a huge issue. I like the reverb and would like to use it, but it gives me cause to have to buy something like a Hall of Fame pedal or something.Administrator of the SDUGF
