All user reviews for the Hughes & Kettner Warp 7 Halfstack

I think its a good amp, I ladore .. I play dessu depuisplus than a year ... and i ke to say is mostly below ...

USE

Bad point for this amp: the cabinet ... intransportable! but hey I'm half done and the charm of a head amp / cabinet this is the charm and potato ...

SONORITS

That is why I dpose this notice could sembl very poor ..! Lampl i sent back in full because after having compar with Warp Matrix dun, I told myself that my amp had a problem because I find its really too serious. you say, it is con il put 10/10 ... yes but the sound and too serious and dull with this cabinet .. but with a sound baffle, (in my case on March 1 YAMAHA channels an old trick and more ...) l is something else ... and the sound of the original post serious ultra cabinet over a cabinet that gets you all SGBA (called that for the first time jaivais daigus too !! i d remove), well, this is not good and may not like, but that's violent satu that jattendais a Mesa! assurment least prcis but the sound is good .... agrssif without serious losses in short, something of thunder gods pagans of our chre Scandinavia!

NOTICE GLOBAL

In short, I play this amp with coxx SG type >> Seynour with Duncan SH8 and jen deu relatively silent until that jessais branch of curiosity by a second speaker in addition to the original post, a baffle sono .... and i got the slap of my life ... I have not marter could play any laprme ... well, I suggest you dessayer this solution ... if you get along with your vendor gear, go have your head and your scraper to see if with a sound baffle has done ...

Jespre that it will be useful and can be even make you a pleasure to play on your gear !!! Good game to all!

- 100 watts tansistors 4HP 12 "Celestion Rock Driver Junior.
- 2 channels, Clean (3-band EQ) and Warp (gain + master + 3 band Eq indpendante presence of clean +).
- Loop insertion.
- Footswitch jack
- Headphone output.

UTILIZATION

Okay so the config is classic: a clean channel and a distortion channel with three bands + a chaquns adjustable on the presence in saturated (Warp) so no problem priori level rglages.
Now the question do you get a good sound easy, the rponse is certainly not the rglage of different bands is completely inngal, it was almost like some questions knobs could be made optional (bass) , for an amp as bizard be addapt GP style "nag".

SOUNDS

For résumé to: degeulasse completely clear sound, cold, without me ... Distortion: while the I understood nothing and yet I spent an hour trying all possible settings, ca drool is rough, there's no dynamic short a big soup koi.
To have a lil comparison j'me branch with the same stuff on Warp7 then a fender 25W amp poor, there's no foto ben h, the poor fender amp is a big slap in the Warp, c ' is that a 100W amp with 4 HP celestion sounds 10 times more crap than a 25W HP with a lil fender. Let's talk about cabinet: it is a shit, it vibrates, it dissonance and all you want.

OVERALL OPINION

My scratch using this amp for over a year, attracted by its reputation commertiale "big sound" and its modest cost, however, trs, as the result was deplorable in April, he asked me what I think. Frankly ... go your way, I truly believe that H & K could not care less of the mouth of the world ... ok we have a 100W and a trans Bafle 4 * 12 celestion seuelement for 1100 euros, was not something s'addentre exeptionnel but then .... There's foutage of the mouth.
So for the price There's the way to have an amp that sounds good and much better now nag for the same power. You want to buy it? change your mind ... it's a real crap

100 watts transistor amplifier body with two baffles 5Celestion 4 * 12)
Two channels:
- Clean: Volume, 3 band eq
- Warp: gain, volume, 3 band eq, presence
Switch inputs, effects loop and headphone.
No built-in effects
optional footswitch (FS-1: channel, FS-2: Canal + effects loop)

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, a little too well ...

SOUNDS

I play punk-hxc (cf. thrice Death By Stereo Strung Out ...) with an Ibanez RG or (neo)-trash-metal on a Baritone Ltd and in both cases I find the sound distortion but very adequate a little too cold in the clear.
The distortion is fat and should rather on rhythm guitar, rock edgy things to extremes.
The only problem is that we have just one type of sound (but a very good sound) and the EQ does not change very little.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the warp 7 for 10 months and I do not change it for some time.
The distortion is really good even if it is better suited to the rhythm. You have to love the sound but it suits many styles, not just the neo-metal Disagree as they say sometimes the clear sound is poor but not really the interest of such an amplifier.
I got it for 944 euros and I think nine is a very good price / quality ratio and few have such a transistor amp sound. I part with it if one day I go to the amplification tube but not before I think.
This choice I would do without hesitation.

Transistor amplifier with an output of 100 watts (head) on a baffle 4 HP 12 inch celestion (200 w total).
As for connectors / effects, check notice on previous ones.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple plutt, no great difficulty rgler the knobs, you just know to keep them between thumb and forefinger, then turn and listen what comes out. satisfaction after acquired sound, you have your sound, that our answer to the second question is acquirable relatively quickly. A manual? I do not know, it's not my amp ... thank you god ...

SOUNDS

My style of music is a fusion / metal, then use a majority of the channel warp. I tried this amp for 15 days with a guitar ibanez rgt42 (DiMarzio dp151 and 155F), and my opinion is trs phase: for what I do, and only my opinion, trs a bad sound. it's cold enough dgueu hear when you push the drive and precision is not top. clean sound, when he surprised me, it sounds not too bad for a transistor (excluding tubes and modeling).
clean channel: 6 / 10
Channel warp: 2 / 10
... Round up 5 / 10 for the average rsultats tray as I do the same flourish.

OVERALL OPINION

It was 990 euros for a half stack and rpter enough to make for sound and dub scnes scnes collection outdoor (fete de la zik, no ptt Stade de France), which is in my opinion a little expensive, while for 750 euros (thomann powaaa) + you can have powerful, with 12 tones (instead of two for the warp) with the Line 6 Spider 2 HD + cab. qualitprix report of warp terible not at all, and if I make this choice, I would not choose the warp. or go to line 6 for versatility, or see a vortex of H & K. ..

Already listed below

UTILIZATION

It is very easy to use (little knobs settings) for cons, it is a sacred moment before leaving the sound is desired. Indeed, it sounds pretty dirty (perfect for heavy metal tune) and when you want to give it a slightly less muffled (more acute, more punchy), you find yourself spending hours to find the sound that one wants.

SOUNDS

Side distortion, as mentioned above, it does very well for its fat (low tuning) because it makes much (too) low. Ideal for heavy parts, fat, but to avoid for rhythmic fast or loud. As for the clean sound, I find that a lot of potatoes for a transistor amp. The sound is nothing folichon, but is rather round and warm, but not so useful for that.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years in the distortion 95% of the time. I play a neo metal tune it and I'm pretty happy with my purchase (the price is attractive). I do not know if I would do the same choice, maybe should I have referred to a more versatile amp-style Marshall. My next investment will be certainly pass on a head lamp ...

Tou already said
100 watts with a body 200 for pattate thunder
jack on classical
2 channels clean / warp
egualisation and 3 bands (franchemant easy but for the sound you want a 100% clean in surtt good luck)

UTILIZATION

The configuration could not be easier
we get a good sound easy but frankly we quickly turn fai. the two channels are quite clear is the sound is crystalline glacial see. it's up the warp, with this channel there are linger a bit and we are looking good depth of bass distortion cete allow you an amazing simulation style lamp mesa but attention must then be precise ds the game and its settings (bass presence 10 3.5 4.5 middle trebble 7.5 and gain at 11 am) and my config is mam strat makes the poor as hell that I also epiphone lol In short it allows a great lamp simulation mesa boogie for 5foismoins expensive but attention is not the only laps transistor (which is amazing lol)

SOUNDS

This amp is not a jazz amp lol it's hard / metal and all that goes with the warp can make so much use of (I repeat it took me about 10 months of tt well master lol) its a pure mesa boogie or with very little gain of very fine rock crunch well metalica style hard rock. The only drawback is not huge is the clean channel, it is not on the lamp, but the rest o less precise and crunch and its deuxio can catch up with a pedal for acoustic simulation example in a boss like me or pti chorus.

OVERALL OPINION

This amp dedicated to metals and hard rocjeur is simply a killing that is even used to take off the wallpaper (mr DIY of concurrency and more lol) What is a resistant material that some models of dysfunction, however, I have no problem ever with large cube to make his lol.Je think 100 watts for a half stack with a distortion that moves and that life is honest unlike behringer or line 6 spider series is good but damn it TDPC soulless stuffed effects but frankly the DS effects with a good metal distortion ptetre a delay or reverb it did the trick! So here I say no to multi amps and yes according to the gross stripping!! only 9 cart perfection is not of this world more than the Polyval trascandante although not present (tt is the way makes the guitar amp and not the other way in my opinion)

Transistor amplifier power 100watt.
like almost all the connectors amp between jack, a cable hp jack format to link to the head baffle and a jack for the optional hlas footswich quit. (The speaker cable is not provided for elsewhere ... which is ridiculous, but hey ...)
the rglage are very simple.
2 channels (bright and saturated bass, middle, treble, master, gain.

UTILIZATION

So as said above, the config is very simple.
makes sense in addressing all potarts at noon we can already realize that the amp produces. then we must refine to get a sound that could be for you.
but will be very close to what it produces rgl at noon. in short, from what he is doing, it is very easy to get use.

SOUNDS

So this kind of gear, it is clear that from mtal it is difficult to do anything else. unless it is used that is clear. because it can be very round and can adapt to diffenrent genre.
if the sound you get with this amp is very big. in the sense that it gbre (too) low. (in your group if you are missing a bass player and you possd this amp, just to put the already low would be that a half and will be a rgl )
everyone has to say to all molo with low, because if you jou group you will blend in with the low result you hear it, and get louder will not help. So personal, to have a sound that is cohrent I put the bass that quarter, the medium a little more than half the acute prsence a half and over a quarter.
the guitar will have a normal place in the total mix. (knowing that for a concert, the technician will qd mm can correct all one has to be a cleaner, as is a very qd mm .. WooMe WooMe like her. at the same time agreement MI helps.)
So in fact I find that this amp produces too much bass for a guitar amp.
the treble is fairly typical transistor also given what may sound very synthetic, if there are too many.

OVERALL OPINION

So a must be 2 or 3 years that I have. I bought it for an amp that has good circulation, a short two bodies which, and prices are seen opt for the one day he saw the one I needed quickly. therefore not a personal jsui love this amp (as dj transistor) but considering the price was nicely qd was not using it and need something that manages a minimum.
but if you have the posibility to take your time to buy an amp and a little way, the essay lamp and bought the lamp. stronger, warmer, more natural and prcis ... more, more, more .........

100w pure transistor amp with a 4x12 Celestion Rock Driver Junior

Possibility of connection with the 1x8 ohm 4x12 or 2x4 that goes with ohm speakers to add more.

1 input jack, an effects channel, and a headphone output (no interest to me because we play very low volume)

2 channels: 1 clean cannal (with high mid and low) and cannal warp distortion (high mid low presence) a volume cannal, no master general. (It can interfere with some)

UTILIZATION

The configuration is fairly simple:

Cannal clear with high mid and low. Easily adjustable

Cannal saturated: distortion, high, mid, low and master presence. Here the setting is thinner because the amp developed a lot of bass. So you have to play on medium, the level of distortion and not put too much bass. And frankly, after two years of use, I still can not get something good.

SOUNDS

Canal clean: The sound is soft, but cold ... It's clean, but no effects it sounds bad, very bad view ...

Cannal Warp: So there, we like it or not, but to get an idea you have to play at least a quarter of the volume. The distortion is weird ... It has a fatty side, fuzzy, not very distinctness at the same time There's a pretty nasty fuzz shrill.
The level of gain can be excessive, but it does increase the inaccuracy of the sounds (sometimes in rehearsal I found myself playing a tone above the other, and I heard not diffénrence).
To improve the picture, there is almost no dynamic that one touches the strings or like a bear attack that can feel the difference. It's not pretty, really ... What's really amazing is that there are a lot of bass, and almost no treble. I have come to completely remove the bass in the medium 3 / 4 and push the treble and presence at the bottom. It is super dull and rough.
It's not worth trying to get a crunch sound or OD, is made for big sounds and nothing else.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years, and I hate him more. I do not take to repeat that when there is no alternative. And I'm pushing it, it leaves absolutely no mix ...

The value for money is very good if you buy it for € 200-250 OCCAZ to otherwise it's too expensive for what it is (and I mean the head and cab!)

I bought it new at € 800 just before they stop manufacturing it, and he walked so that the price had been halved (from € 1500)

Everything is extremely robust, and it is the only quality that I found. Because in addition to an ugly sound, it is heavy, bulky and inconvenient to carry.

If I would not do it again! I would put money aside and I'm saving to buy something good.

This a German company who designs high quality guitar amps for touring musicians and the average consumer. They guitar amps that range from just a few hundred dollars to several thousand. The have a flagship amplifier and this is it. The Trimap from Hughes and Kettner.

Some big names have pickup amps from Hughes and Kettner including Alex Lifeson from the band Rush and Tommy Thayer from the band Kiss. Those two gentlemen have their own signature models but they have used been great artist for this company.

This was an interesting amp set up that didn't fare to well and quickly fizzled out. The look of it was interesting and strange. People generally don't buy half stack solid state amps so this was a bust. The other Warp amps in the series fare a little better but didn't really take off either.

This amps tone was kind of interesting as well. It was a hot rodded modern tone but the voicing was bit strange and not good for all things. This amp is a modern classic rock beast. The voicing of this amp is pure classic rock. The voicing of this amp is uber modern and for a solid state amp it just doesn't good over well with the people that would be into this sound. Don't get me wrong the tone is very cool and very usable, but the none tube thing just puts people off. They sound good with drop tuned guitars and humbucker hot rodded pickups. I can see this amp going over well i a combo version but not the half stack version.

These guitars have long been discontinued. So the use market is the only way to go with these amps now a days. They can be found pretty cheap in the classifieds and ebay. If you need a decent solid state amp that you can play at home silently with the headphone hook up or an amp that has an MP3 hook up then this is good one.

Amp transistor, 100 Watts RMS, Jack 6.35mm, super simple settings: Low Medium Aquamarine.

UTILIZATION

No need to book.
You have to know one, and one with this amp:
Has two channels, it is to consider that the channel 1 clean!
Coupled with a multi purpose, even the basic style or ME 8 Korg, you will have acquired a good power amp, robust, behaving very well whatever the power, and clear or disto ...
This aim, go your way!

SOUNDS

In clear sound in big distortion, channel 1 is there. CELESTION speakers for that matter but still a bit in the bass, but it seems that changing the speaker, or by connecting the head to another speaker, everything changes ... to consider.
Choose a good source and good effect, as I said, this amp will make a "beast" job catalytic power.
So to answer, no sound I love, or hate it, because this will in some cases he will do the sound, AMPLIFIED, that's all!

OVERALL OPINION

Their "idiocy" channel WARP special saturation 'justify the price of 1200 Euros nine is a scam on the other hand on the market OCCAZ, you will find cheap.

For my part, 170 Euros (head and cabinet) almost new!
100 watts per speaker, it makes 0.42 cents per Watt!
At that price should not be shy! <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />

I put 5 everywhere except for the robustness 6

Sorry for this post ironic, but to be as clear as possible:
Those who bought at high prices should complain, but for others, there is no shame to scavengers!
Zic good!
