HK 60Watt amp. next-generation transistor
HP 12-inch Celestion rockdriver
13kg.
- A clean channel with volume control.
- A channel saturated with volume and gain.
- A set of EQ (bass, mid, high), common to the two channels. (But it does not pose a problem)
- A button reverb.
- 3 effects: chorus, flanger, and delay, with a single button to set the 3 and increase the intensity of the effect (so we can not accumulate, once a maximum effect is, if you turn a little button, you switch to another effect that will be at its lowest .. etc ...) and a volume knob for the effect to increase its power.
- A very useful headphone apartment
- An output footswitch needed to move from one channel to another without stopping.
I am also footswtich FS2 with two buttons: one button and a channel change button start / stop the effect. The FS 2 is the appropriate since it allows to control the effects, otherwise what good is a DFX?
In short, Good Features
The least: - EQ setting common to both channels (right and again ...)
- If there really is one less because no one is perfect, at the footswtich he is, not the amp because the footswitch only allows to stop or turn on the effect and not to change their effect. So if you want to change an effect over the same song, you have to do with your hands. That's why I put 9. Good on the other hand, it's about the footswitch which is not intended to be a pedal effect.
UTILIZATION
Config extremely simple. In addition, the manual explains everything and there is a small post it comes with the amp that explains how to have the types of sounds that is sought, blues, crunch, metal ...
Me personal, I play with an imitation Les Paul and I put the bass at 1 / 4, mids at 2 / 3 and treble to 3 / 4. The clean channel and one-half the gain in third with a master at 1 / 3. Good with the battery back, I increase the bass a bit to make it well in the jingles farts.
No complaints about the use ...
SOUNDS
Hmmm! .... here it gets interesting!
So now, it's not an amp for metal ... it's on, but we do not tell me we can not do much heavy rock genre of Staind or Incubus, because I 'plays it without problems.
My style is quite versatile but basically, I like to have a verse and a chorus acoustic electric fart. (Such as songs incubus: nice to know you, just a phase, or archive again, and outside Staind So Far Away, can not exist by Joseph Arthur, etc. ...
The clear sound is perfect
yes, and the evidence, when I plug my electric I almost sound acoustic amp, ideal for making a ptite session "Yes FM"! lol ... and even with the electric sound is crystal clear light, brings out the guitar sound is warm, not digital, unlike the line 6 spider 2, where the clean sound is digitized to death but that's my opinion of course! As for the fender on which I played, honestly, it's a matter of taste, I do not like slamming sounds too, too crystalline, so I prefer the HK has a more simple, less slamming, but Again, it's a matter of taste, the two are equal for two different styles.
The distortion is good but it's hard to have a clear distortion with a perfect perfect.
Strangely, it is powerful enough, which shows the versatility of this amp. I think I have a little trouble with because of my Les Paul has already fat sound like the distortion from the amp ... but I tried it with a Start and there, it makes better. To be honest, I think a distortion pedal would not hurt anyway.
The power of 60W is enough to cover a battery
I do not even have to push back the battery cover! So 60W is enough, I tested every weekend! but for the stage, depending on the coffee ... .. ca noise may be a bit tight if the coffee is great but this can go really! amplifier is made to be cranked! And anyway, there is the sound of coffee to relay ... I really hesitated because of the power but I guarantee that the battery cover 60w is enough.
Finally, the effects, simple but good
the reverb is well be felt, the flanger is powerful, it seems to have a plane above the head! the chorus is also very good and also the delay! need I say more! what's missing is the possibility to both encoreune effect change via the footswitch but that's something else ...
In short, it's a great amp for sonnorités it produces. It suits my style of zic, but I doubt that metal fans will not find themselves within.
But if you want a style to the incubus, to Coldplay, archive, it is perfect! thanks again to the passage of the acoustic distortion perfect for excellent
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 4 months and it is correct! I got it for 290 euro nine playback via the internet and after testing elsewhere in the store.
What I like most is the amp, period! it is impeccable.
If there is a minimum, it may be history footswtich I mentioned above and saturation distortion is missing a foot but it solves easily.
I hesitated with a lot of amp, because I am very indecisive in general. It took me months to decide. I had a line 6 spider 2 and my ca soulé soon as it is scanned too.
My hesitation was with peavey (bandit, studio). And I do not regret my choice for the simple reason that peavey is excellent but the clear sound of the HK is the best I know of any brand in the transistor at that price. and clear sound was my priority in order to amplify or to play my electro couplets with almost acoustic electric.
And as I need an amp that is powerful and with a heavy distortion for the chorus, the HK is ideal for this price of course.
