Hughes & Kettner have unveiled their latest amp, the TubeMeister 5, on their website, saying, "The TubeMeister 5 stands as a testament to the knowledge and passion of Mr. Hughes and Herr Kettner."
The amp has a single channel plus overdrive, and weighs 3.5 kg. The clean section is designed for “warm tube tone with dynamic range that sweeps from sparkling clean to throaty crunch, ” while the drive section is designed to go from “edgy overdrive to soaring lead sounds.”
The amp has a three-band EQ and features a 12AX7 in the preamp and a 12BH7 dual triode push-pull power section. It also features oversized transformers designed for greater headroom on Clean settings and more punch on Drive tones and an automatic/switchable Power Soak with silent recording functionality. In addition, there is a speaker-emulated Red Box Out for recording.
Availability:
The amp measures approximately 10" × 6" × 6", or 253mm x 156mm x 149mm, and will be available January 2012. No pricing info yet.
