189 fender hot rod deluxe, combo guitar amplifier, serial number b-208698. My Fender Hot Rod Deluxe is having a problem. It has very low volume and a very distorted sound. I've brought it to two amp techs that both said it was the tubes (it's not). At this point I've paid the techs more than I've paid for the amp.
