All user reviews of 1/5 for the Hughes & Kettner Edition Tube 25th Anniversary

German brand amplifier,
while 20 watt lamps,
Clear channel 1 volume
Gain distortion channel 1 volume 1
1 3-band EQ
1 hp 12-inch

no stand by (damage)

Too many things are missing (no attenuator, no standby, etc etc)

Super mouth with an extra finish!

A closer examination, this amp is minimalist, too ...

USE

The configuration is too minimalist,
No stand by,
mine as soon as I plug, big noise, crackling fat, even if I take the precaution of closing the volume knobs

The sounds are good, but without character, too sanitized,

Crunches go well with the other channel, and large distortion can be achieved

Yes, the sounds you want is obtained, but too clean, the lamps are certainly excellent and hp is high quality.

SOUNDS

I think he can get to all styles of music.

With perhaps a small reserve, is what the sounds are not too good for some bluesy styles?

It may be too clean,

on the other hand, for the Jazz, no worries, it's the best amp, precise, round, warm, we can not do better.

NOTICE GLOBAL

This is the very serious problem,

not stand by, e bad, my amp was immediately issued big noise when I plug it and "heater"

I phoned my dealer, he does not answer me directly, a bit light on sir, I will not answer the phone and to tell his secretary "No Stress"

Incidentally, I am taking a bit for my degree, I mean I felt patronized not very pleasant.

I sent an email to report in writing to the problem that there is a trace. Answer seller "No Stress"

Except that the next day, I play and suddenly, a loud noise like "wooof" sort hp and then nothing.

I wrote the seller can not be reached by phone late in the day and I await his answer, a failure after five days, I want a not a standard exchange sav that will last, it's good for the "No Stress ",dropoff window

Because I stress a little, it Gave me to buy a gear that beautiful face, that sounds good but loose after one hour of play!

I talk to a tech I know, he told me anyway, there has big problems of reliability at Hughes Kettner, he said it's a shame it sounds, there are good lamps, good hp, but unreliable technology, full of problems with the Statesman

I want to believe, my 25th anniversary did not hold,

If I do not get a replacement, I would take anything by way of having, and I would take me another more serious manufacturing amp.

I put a happy ZERO overall score, he deserves it, I bought at the same time for fun a product that dirty mouth, apparent sloppy finish, but otherwise, it's ten times better and it is cheaper (Peavey Windsor Studio)

Germans at Hughes & Kettner had better pampered a little less look and make great efforts inside of the machine is making a real amp, because then it's anything.
