Two EL84 power tubes. Eminence speaker. Reverb.

Hughes & Kettner has introduced the Edition Tube 20th Anniversary to mark their brand name's vicennial anniversary. Powered by a classic twin EL84-driven power amp, this dual channel, 20-watt all-tube combo delivers the full sonic spectrum from vintage clean to blues-approved crunch and snarling rock tone. Developed in a joint effort with Eminence, the 12 in. Rockdriver Cream loudspeaker is a mid-Atlantic blend combining the best of American and British tonal properties. And it packs a far mightier punch than the 20-watt rating would suggest. An on-board spring reverb and an effects loop round out the Anniversary model's rich appointments.

Sound
i rateed the sound at a 9 because the 2 channels share 1 eq.i use fulltone effects so i only use the gain channel when i dont wanna tote pedals.this is my favorite amp.great tone great volume,great clean headroom.more (useable) bottom than i have ever heard.this is probably due to the mostly closed back. i have had it about a year now with no issues.you can get any sound youre looking for from clean to classic to heavy crunch.im not much into reverb.but i was surprised how nice this reverb sounds.i own a twin reverb and a blues junior.i use me h@k tube 20 99% of the time.
