MGR/Brian L. Gunter « Hughes and Kettner Triamp »
Published on 12/16/01 at 15:00I was at the Guitar Center in Seattle, and was in the market for a new amplifier. I was at the time running through an old 1974 Fender Twin Reverb. It sounded great, but just wasn't right for modern rock. Back to the Guitar Center...I was playing anything I could get my hands on, Marshalls, Fenders, Mesas, everything. Until the Sales rep. plugged me into the Hughes and Kettner Triamp! Whoa! This thing blew my mind! Three independent tube amplifier circuts with two channels a piece. This means six total footswitchable channels in the same unit, and it wasn't a "modeling amplifier". This Triamp was the real deal!
I easily pulled every sound that I wanted to hear out of the Triamp, from Pure Clean, Light blues, Texas blues, Light Rock, to all balls flying in the wind take the head off the guy in the back of the room distortion! After talking to the sales rep. He told me that this was his amplifier of choice as well, and would cut me a deal because he wants to see these amps really take off! I got a price of $2400 for both the head and cab down from almost $3000. I didn't hesitate to take it off the floor in a heartbeat.
Aside from the three independent amps, and six total channels, the reverb is quite competent, and the FX Loop gives me the sound from my other outboard gear that I need. The 4x12 cabinet is the tightest
and the punchiest sounding cab on the
market today! The Triamp is hands down the most versatile guitar amplifier that the world has ever known, and I believe that only Hughes and Kettner will be able to improve on it.
Not one single thing!
This unit, both head and cab, is built like a super tank. This is the most road worthy of any amplifier!
Bottom line...the Triamp is the final solution to all a guitarist needs.
