SOUNDS
The clean tone of this amp is remarkable. I like this amp with just about any guitar you throw at it. It sounds spectacular with a nice Fender Stratocaster. It has a great classic and sparkly clean that fits for any style of music. The clean tone is just so good that a nice single coil guitar does wanders to this amp. Much better clean tone than the Triamp in my opinion. I like the distortion of this amp like all Hughes and Kettner amps, it has a firm beefy tone that is great for chugging. The feature control knob called growl is interesting to this amp. It allows to to dial in more of a modern voicing or lower it to get a simple tone. The low end will be a little stuffy in the combo compared to the head with the matching 4x12 cabinet. It won't push as much air and the while the tone will be the same the feeling of it will change a little bit.
OVERALL OPINION
Prices for Hughes and Kettner amps climb all over the board. I have seen new ones for $2750 and I have seen them for $2200. So depending on where you buy it you can see an incredible amount of mark up in the price. If you take 10 seconds and search online you find great deals on their entire line of amplifiers. I would recommend this amp to someone who wants a simple amp with not a lot of options but just a tone machine. Simple and easy with a great voicing and character.
