All user reviews for the Hughes & Kettner Edition Surf

A small transistor amp perfect for beginners or playing at home. Characteristics could not be more simple. Note: a line out and in (for effects).
There are only 100 copies (limited edition) but it is still very far from collector

UTILIZATION

Ultra-simple configuration, it should not have taken a postgraduate course as a sound engineer to arrive to find the sound you want.
The manual is all that is clearer.
Not too heavy to carry, ideal for repeat or household. I also had occasion to use it in concert (but with power amplification).

SOUNDS

I play in a surf band, so this amp suited me perfectly. He filled his role perfectly, the reverb is excellent, the saturation in natural clear sound too. The closed back provides convenient and quite low power, it's hard to believe that this is a 40 watt.
I played with my Ibanez EX which I have mounted an Alnico pro 2 in a central position to get the Start sound slamming.
The channel distortion is not great, I use to have a sound a bit more saturated by pushing the volume up with very little gain.

OVERALL OPINION

Nice little amp, I bought it in 1999, and since I play with. I recently bought a Fender tube amp so I forsake but I still use it as a practice amp.
Pros:
* Look
* Clean Channel very convincing
* Beautiful bass
* Quality and variety of sounds issued
* Power
Cons:
* The channel saturated
