IMO, buying your friend an A/B switching pedal should be enough of a hint.

Better for what? Playing country, jazz, or maybe old blues? Yup.
Better for playing any rock styles since the 1960s? Nope.

Re: My buddy just got a fender....
fenders are good for post 60's rock, again it's down to how used you get to the amp. Hotrod Deluxes are killer though.
the band who I tech for use a HRD in the rehearsal studio and we try to use one at gigs as well for the singer's guitar which he uses on only two songs. what I have found is, you can get great rock tones out of it, you just need to spend the time getting used to the amp and it's functions. You're ok with HRD for rock unless you hit the more gain function, then it gets messy. however I will defenc fender amps, they do take pedals nicely as well.

Re: My buddy just got a fender....
I had an HRD sitting in my basement for two years. I hated it. Doesn't mean that everyone would hate it. But in my 26+ years of gigging experience, for doing rock Marshalls generally work MUCH better than Fenders. It's not like this is some big industry "secret"...

Re: My buddy just got a fender....
What are you... like 12 Andy?
Seriously guys... when did this place become like TGP -- where single-channel, class A Fender circuit amps somehow became "better" rock amps than Marshalls? Did I wake-up in Bizzaro-world this week? Every design has strengths and weaknesses. Fenders are BETTER for clean work, Marshalls are BETTER for OD tones (as a general rule). This isn't rocket science and it's THE REASON that both brands have their fans. I've owned plenty of BOTH brands and this has been my experience... as well as the experience of countless other guitar players for the past 30-40 years for cripes' sake. It's not like EJ hauled his Fenders around for the dirt tones and his Marshalls around for the clean ones. :smack:

Give me a Deluxe Reverb and a few good pedals, and I'll play any style of music you want.
