All user reviews for the Hughes & Kettner Vortex Halfstack

Ralala, I must temper qd mm below the opinion does not correspond at all to the amp.
which is a 100w for a transistor amp is powerful enough to use together and repetitions ...
Personal I had to push jms thoroughly, and when I used it, I played a ds grp of black metal.

otherwise I do not see what you can blame him: 2 channels, bright and saturated ac reverb and an effects loop.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use! we get a good sound really easy! as the saying goes if the shit at the base, you can not have that crap that comes out

SOUNDS

I seriously I think he has a clear, cool, and I'm Always amazed by the quality of its saturated. c an amplifier transistor and the distortion is full and deep enough. really a great point that!

OVERALL OPINION

For the price jvois not better! c sincerely a good two bodies, if you expect her to a mesa / engl / VHT / carvin ben c on c that different, but the price is different ...

So I repeat, c a good amp, very versatile, and that will satisfy that qqun not want to gun down the back ac ki a head weighs a ton (I saw him right now lol) and ki not want to take the lead ac lamps (sound crazy, but boring interview).

voilààà

This is a transistor amp any amp simulation with a lamp.
The head is 80W and 100W speakers
Sounds are not bad, it can saturate between light to get a crunch. The distortion can play a bit of everything, it is powerful trs. The rverbe qualizer and are also of quality.
The amp is sufficient even to him, with a scratch of mtaleu (style jakson) we get a sound that hard carrment. (I never pushed the amp has come back ...). -> That's it see it except grill g Exceeds not even to half!

UTILIZATION

SETTING THE The amp is super simple: a volume for clear sound
rglage gain and contour distortion and three knob for the equalizer.
This gives very easy to sound good. But do not get the sound, c a small amplifier that takes a lot of room c it!

SOUNDS

I have not had the manual, but it is in pdf on the net. It enables you there if you beginners, otherwise it is useless! The buttons on the amp even talk to her!

OVERALL OPINION

The "small" problem is that if you use pedals to FFECT prampli Intgr (plug into the return), the level of the multi-effects must be quite large. For my part, I use a Boss GT3 and I have to m'aprocher the saturation level of the pedals. It's a crappy amp.

It is a 100W transistor, which is sufficient for concerts / repeat.
2 channels (light / full), reverb
A knob of distortion, which is super convenient to move from a soft rock distortion to hard rock or metal

UTILIZATION

This amp is very easy to use. In a very short time, we get a very good sound, either plain or distortion.

The body is still very heavy (think of the wheels to transport it), but it is not too disturbing end.

SOUNDS

This amp is quite versatile. We can play with clear sound really correct, or good greasy metal without any problems. In addition, the transition from one to another is quick, given the dedicated button on the distortion.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about four months for each rehearsal and cocnert, and it's an amp that holds water. it is also very strong (it took a lot of pets though). The resulting sound is really okay for the price of the machine (I got it at 850 euros in a little village so there must be cheaper) ..

Transistor amp 100W, 2 channels, 3 band eq, master volume, Control Character "from SOFT (American) to HARD (British)"
FX Loop

cabinet: 12 "Celestion RockDriver Junior 200W

UTILIZATION

The amp is very easy to use, the sound is pretty clear and crunch from 5 (volume of the light), EQ is effective but it is common to the two channels,

the distos are very good, and the knob very forement character affects the type of distortion that you get, the more you turn the knob, the sound becomes more metal and more compressed. I RULES at the 3 / 4 j'obtient and excellent sound metal.

In any case easier to use, has no!

SOUNDS

As already mentioned, the clean sounds are not bad, but not very crystalline (and should try again with a Start!), The rverbe is good quality and its level is automatically reduced when switching to distortion.
The 2-channel sound enough "compressquot; ds the master volume is around 5 / 10 (which is very strong dja).

So in terms of sound even in him:
I play 7 string esp, mainly mtal;
trs are saturated sounds good for the transistor, but remain relatively low fat;
there is enough gain to the death but I still have an AIM Reserved;
the distortion can be rough if you put too low (if I am in agreement!)
gain a high volume does not really change between 2 / 3 and gain a background;

OVERALL OPINION

I bought 2 years ago and I use it (was using) 2 times a week for RPTES

Most:
- Quality over price
- Power
- The cabinet largely to suprieur sries MG or AVT Marshall
- Heavy distortion
- The manufacturing quality / reliability (it still plays like nags with volumes to 2 / 3)

the -:
- Has the rest of the transistor
- Clean sounds are quite round (to love)
- Popping effects loop

IDAL is the amp for group play (best qualitprix / power)

-Amp transistors
-100w
- Guitar input, effects loop (send and return fx) footswitch, 2 speaker outputs in 8 men
- A clean channel a lot: knob>> volume
1canal super saturated! : Knobs>> volume, gain, character (very effective, used for
the distortion really and all diffrent both ::!!)
1 master volume, reverb and a well made!

UTILIZATION

-Configuration is very simple !!!!! Just know turning knobs =)
Ds, we get the beginning of his good rev ... but with time (well so to speak) we find the sound has really am!!
-Manual ... what it is?? is already very simple!! Finally, the manual is the first view is rather well done!

SOUNDS

I play mostly hard rock, heavy rock and heavy metal .. So it suits me perfectly!!
I play a Charvel CH6 1989, an ESP KH3, and a jackson DXMG!
Finally, one could all sound are available .... be missing a little bit of fat on the big heavy distortion well, but nothing nasty!
"I love the really heavy distortion sound, the sound is not vraimebnt I hate ...

OVERALL OPINION

-That's eight months that I use
"I really love this amp, .. what I like most is the adjustment of the distortion character of the left has the right: blues rock, rock, hard rock, heavy rock, metal, and finally the heavy metal!!
- I did not try many of the model but it is really good:!
Price-quality ratio really great
Hmmm, good question .... not ... that the receiver be not great: he is terrible .. but now I intend to type in the above range in style ... mesa boogie if I can .....
So here is a good choice of amp trs .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Head 2 channels clean and lead 100 watts
3-band eq
reverb, effects loop, headphone
412 rockdriver junior cabinet celestion
CONTRL of characters of "soft" (the draft) "modern" (a sharp, very modern then)
power amplification "current feedback"
footswitch jack for clean / lead
all for a little over 40KG

bah, what you need, you could have one more channel for deuxime footswitch for rverb.

UTILIZATION

Simple operation, I have not read the manual.
I've never pushed more than 5 (it dja trs fort)

SOUNDS

With good microphones, you can get what you want with the clear sound, the crunch ....
the distortion is INTERESTED, I do not use that build on "modern" if it was just too dirty.
even when there is a lot of blows lead.
bah my stuff is a ltd If agreement with HS6 and before an HB102.

OVERALL OPINION

This head is really INTERESTED whatever sound you want to get out.
The "big sound" is the distortion of really nice (I RPET) makes its clear sound Boulo.
I've had 10 months and it suits me well.
the only downside is the rendering of low ... it leaves very little. The receiver compartment of the room, a Kustom Quad 100 DFX Combo is pathetic ...

So in short it is a good amp that just cash but lacks bass. May be that just change the speaker solve the problem.

Over time we regret can be a bit too, but this simplicity adpend what plays

UTILIZATION

I bought it so I had to OCCAZ no manual but it is tlchargable. In use it is not complicated so we branch of the transistor and it plays!
Get a good sound does not Relva the impossible like some amps.

SOUNDS

I bought this amp to make mtal the cot and there is absolutely nothing gnial, bass are good Submitted trs well received by the cabinet So nickel! rgler a knob allows the lead channel between a soft distortion adding some compression to the sound (therefore mtal amricain typ) and a hard distortion (more British) adds treble and a little more rock . For a transistor amp's distortion is more than respectable, even though trs!
Well now the clean channel: Really nothing wrong all in the clear quality sounds are clear and round (while remaining in the transistor of course)
I play with an Ibanez RG2550 and Fender Stratocaster Lite ASH and the amp sounds wonderful returns of the fender guitar.Avec I sound the limit of a light amplifier trs so good! I added a little chorus pedals and phaser and everything goes perfectly. The reverb is Submitted without being teachers.
In short mtal cot, heavy rock or you're served! And what is more blues and jazz is not really the amp IDAL but with a good scraper can pass.
Regarding the volume higher up the more you realize that it is done to show his power! With the master knob gnral 2 / 10 is covered ease the drummer, is of three Glue the wallpaper and five one becomes deaf. I personally have never pushed beyond, but five did not move the cabinet and return any wonder as clean as saturated.
I love the clean sound. The sound is approri for rock but I do not like the weight of the amp! (About 35kg)

OVERALL OPINION

H & K has a good quality amp (made three years ago and I have absolutely no problem). I test a bunch of amps, used amplifiers and lights the fact Pingle HK does well in the game I think I agree with a lot of people that this is one of the best transistor amplifiers mnage march that the portfolio for a good two bodies (between 480 and 650 and 900 OCCAZ nine) but not mnage back! (like most amps!) I probably resell a little later to buy a combo lamp because it lacks any of the same grain and heat lamps and then the two bodies is a bit bulky and not suitable at all for playing in the apartment (but has had knowing it!)

UTILIZATION

Use, is not easy!
just know tounrner buttons, and off you go! jai managed to find my sound in about 2 minutes, and is not to say the manual is no need yen!
For cons, the effects loop I do Jamai is seen is not very effective.

SOUNDS

It is ideally suited to my style of music knowing that I play metal, and it is happiness!
It tounre buttons and magic! 'Loves the sound of the amp Modern, but it offers a reasonably good selection of the metal, of course!

- Saturation:

The no complaints, it sounds very good for the transistor! good bass, treble sharp saturation hyper effective in heavy as in heavy, whatever is not very fat, after it is a matter of taste! I play with a Jackson RR 5 (ki kill her), and cash vrment it well! )

- Clair:

Ay! by the cons is not the same. Nothing extraordinary in his clear, incisive not, in short I do not like its clear, finally, it is not made for that! when you see the mouth of the beast, we understand pourkoi he does it!

Finally, I put the saturated: 9 / 10
I put a clean sound: 4 / 10

(In the statistics I put a 9 because I think it has purchased for saturation, that's what I fai!)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost one month, and it amazes me this amp!
I love the saturated not clear but its good I almost never lenclenche. (Ptetre plugging in a Stratocaster the above I do not know!)
jai tried a few models before the aquérir as WARP 7 of the brand and I confess that javai t very disappointed with the WARP 7, there is no Tone to make it attacks Bourin mm it!
report what price excellent (400 OCCAZ) I refer the choice again!

A transistor amplifier

100w head

200w 4x10 cabinet

UTILIZATION

Simple

SOUNDS

The sound is really good for this type of amp I m also use it primarily to write and use my head lamp to LIVE.

the sound is saturated with a lot of good potential rglages
j uses an ESP, an Ibanez Custom Shop, a Godin LG P90 and one in Mount Fender Stratocaster US and rendering is really nice with it supports rather poorly against the 7-string, I find that the sound is rather "mushy", I have not been able to get something decent!

the clean sound is OK and very funky with my ESP (neck pickup Seymour Duncan single)

j have a good surprise her with my Takamine electro plugs into the clear sound!

No I have not tried the effects loop!

OVERALL OPINION

I use the past 1 year

compared to
price and to have tried many different brands and models, it's really a good amp!

I bought the story have another amp at home and frankly, I do it again no problem choosing!

2 transistor amplifier body 80 or 100w as my memories
The basic connections are: input, effects loop, footswitch
In terms of SET, is a master with reverb
one common to eq 2 channels and a voicing of mediums to move from one medium or hollow sound. (british or us)
a gain for the clean and gain and volume for cannal 2
Technology emulationde lamp soft clipping (resistance)

UTILIZATION

Anyone can adapt to this amp, the settings are simple and intuitive
No need for manual

SOUNDS

The cleans are good and sharp and rather fenderiens very dynamic of transo.
Well suited to a funky game.
The distortion is fat and rather nice for the transo and voicing makes a lot of possibilitbr /> Suitable for playing rock and hard.
For the metal grain is a little too fat and not specific enough.
The sound is still a bit aggressive at high volume.

OVERALL OPINION

Deusieme was my amp I exchanged against a 2000 jcm
I had bad memories because I had the extreme metal and the sound was very messy so the transition to the lamp made me forget this amp.
So meanwhile I pass on the two bodies and a lamp and lamp combo is a rack config lamp.
I replayed by chance on this amp because I have not lou by repeating to me lugging my racks and I t surprised to rediscover.
I t surprised by his dynamic clean.
This amp buries most of its competitors including Valvestate with a grain closest to the lamp while but are much less dynamic and more aggressive.
For that price was worth it when we do not want (or can not) invest in any one lamp.
It very well cash my preamp and makes him enjoy his dynamic but be careful with volume adjustment.
