As hard as we might try, and as much as they might deserve it, some amps refuse to die. Aniela's Fender Hotrod Deluxe is one of those amps. It's battle scars were many and deep. Some mold from a wet New England basement. Blue duct tape holding the speaker connection together. Someone had replaced the input jacks in an "interesting" way, and left a magic marker roadmap on the rear of the PCB. Oddly they also set the bias pot to it's lowest position. Defying the odds, this amp still played. I corrected it's many issues and you can hear Aniela in Super Gold Life Friends or in her new band Happy Times Sad Times.
