Published on 07/25/11 at 11:52This 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.
