zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Get the best of both worlds with this combo amp. You get a genuine tube design with the convenience of having onboard effects at your disposal.
Overview
The World's first fully-programmable tube amp with digital Multi-FX!
For another first in guitar amp history, Hughes & Kettner has packed all the features guitarists have long been dreaming of into one amp: A genuine all-tube design and the boundless versatility of amp modeling. A bona fide tube amp. With tube-driven pre and power amps. And 4 channels that put the full arsenal of classic tones at your fingertips, from spine-tingling clean and crunch to singing lead and crushing saturated sound. You don't need external effects, because reverb, delay and the most popular modulation effects are already on board in top-drawer digital quality. Best of all, you can store all amp and effect settings in up to 128 presets and activate them live on stage at the touch of a button. And that means your sounds perfectly matched to your songs. No more panicky button-pushing between numbers. And today's sweet-spot settings are saved many tomorrows to come.
Switchblade.
No compromises in features.
No compromises in handling ease.
And certainly no compromises in all-tube tone.
Included: FSM 432 MIDI footswitch

"TOTAL RECALL TUBE MONSTER"
Best amp I ve ever had...
before i bought it I checked Koch Multitone, Vox AC-30, Engls,
Marshall modern vintage and Fenders.
This powerfull package is all in one. Just try!
Sound
Very versatlie,
channel 1: Fender-like clean/overdrive
channel 2: voxish overdrive to plexi crunch
channel 3: hot-rodded marshall/jcm-area
channel 4: creamy not overly aggressive high-gain
Although the preamp design is not fully tube charged, the sound are very impressive, from gentle to infernal loud. Turn it up an it will sing.
FX: reverb and delay are very good, the modulation section is ok sounding, but the tremolo kicks ass, its kinda tweed tremolo/univibe woooosh.
Features
the only midi total recall tube monster on this planet.
had no probs with the footswitch so far.
Ease of Use
Very easy, find your sound, store it and go...
Quality
i worked with it over two years now, no probs during
gigs or rehearsals.
Everything seems to be sturdy enough for road-life.
Value
It is a professional tool for guitarist with a fair price tag.
Manufacturer Support
Had a bad pramp tube, the dealer send me a new one.
You can ask them any question...good folks
