All user reviews of 4/5 for the Hughes & Kettner Edition Blue 30-DFX

(Edited after a few months of use)
30w amp transistor, both channels, Eq common mini effects section + reverb, effects loop series only.
And above all it weighs 7kg, which is convenient for carrying around in the subway between two rehearsals.

UTILIZATION

Bah you turn the knobs and presto AC makes noise.

SOUNDS

My guitar is an Ibanez RGA test mounted DiMarzio tone zone / air area.

In its top is clear, Eq is very efficient and can model funky slap sounds, crystalline medium or soft jazz.
, Pushing the clean channel volume and with a guitar equipped with humbuckers you get a light bluesy crunch dégeu not. The sound is warm enough for a transistor amp is really good.

In disto there are a lot of gain. The grain is not dégeu rather rock / hard rock, Eq doing its office. But overall it is not transcendent either. Putting the gain between 1 and 2 we get a big crunch blues very dirty pretty nice. By pushing the gain to 3-5 was a big rock grain. Sculpting Eq V gives a sound fusion for Tom Morello. By pushing the gain between 5 and 10 we add a ton of gain quite nasty and unnecessary (if you have any mics low output gain will be between 6 and 10).

Playing at home is good. Cranked you could see the neighbors land. To play in rehearsal is limited: if your drummer and bassist are your Marmul it will not pass. For steers with people who type too it does.

OVERALL OPINION

Well I've had with a reduction of 70%. For that price is very good. Without the reductions I hesitated longer ...

transistor, 30 watts, 2 channels, reverb, delay, chorus and flanger. manufacturing quality is really a big point as all products of this German brand. I like the dashboard lights up blue. it's really nice. The Tolex is nice.

UTILIZATION

It's like all the amps tansistor, nothing fancy; The sound is present when it connects. not too heavy. He has really good power for group play (not metal), it will do so without flinching.

SOUNDS

A good sound from the lens, the big beefy well. Good, clear sound as the sound is excellent, as the channel is saturated medium. Of course, this has nothing to do with a tube sound. It makes sense that fans of very big sound will not move to a transistor but the other guitar player (rock, blues, ballads, jazz) can use it without scruple, it will be up. Crunches are velvety, fat or sharp according to your settings. I use it with humbuckers (Gibson Les Paul) and a U.S. Start. It should change the settings for each guitar. Both guitars sound great on this amp (except the overdrive channel, as already explained).

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two years. I had all the lights, the transistor, the Line 6. The whole lamp (Laney VC 30) sold for inoperable at home (reluctantly). Digital is great but it comes back quickly. I read a lot and done research on the net. Given my requirements, I came naturally to this amp. is a good product for the transistor. I do it again without hesitation that choice because it sounds good in clear and crunch.
The ratio / quality / price ratio is rather very correct, a transistor of fine quality, ideal for playing at home.
