80W transistor amp
Overdrive from the amp simulation grains lamps. Hughes & Kettner was among the first to be interested in the simulation of various brands of amps.

UTILIZATION

Super simple setup.
Versatile amp even if it regrets the lack of sound palette.
Frankly, the clean sound is pretty good, although I also like the sound crunchy.
The overdrive is good for a beginner, but you get tired after a while but adding pedals, amp plays its role.

I changed the HP for HP 100W Celestion and the sound has changed beyond all sound very precise and incisive ... stunning.

SOUNDS

He no longer suits me because I used as the first amp up quite advanced level.
After adding lamps pedal as ToneLab SE, I became a little more demanding and fell back down on a all-tube amp, the Mesa Boogie Single rectify 50W.

So, no, I am convinced qu'n transistor amp can compete with a tube amp but yes this amp was not ashamed, and is ideal for a beginner.

Besides, I'm going to give it to my niece who plays for 2 years.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for almost 20 years and I sometimes use it to see core plug the HP directly on the second sotie my tube amp and there it sends.

No, at that time I have tried many aps models in these input ranges had the Marshall 100W transistor, the Peavey but the sound was so shit ... The Hugh and Kettner although less known to the time really came out of the lot (I said in the entry).
