Hughes & Kettner Attax 100 Head (1993 Series)

The old version I possde combo, it differs from the new by the distortion, the new one can settle the voicing, there is the old mode 1 (normal) or 2 (boost bass / midrange, d 'Acute)

100W, a 12 hp "

three channels: clean, crunch, lead. (Switchable problem without the pedals), mono effects loop, spring reverb intgre.

Attention this is an amp mixed with a lamp ... an ECC83 (I would), the power is in solid-state

connection: input high / low, headphone jack and line-out (no simulation hp), effects loop.

UTILIZATION

With respect to any of the configuration problem: three analog amplifier channels, equalization effective.

work on the sound is all quite simple, and the manual says enough

SOUNDS

(I possde a Kamann gtx19 sounding stratocaster, a friend of the same amp with a strat us, so I'll runir our opinions ...)

the clean and crunch I think are perfect, a crisp, attacked, or rocks, it's really the card, a sound SOON (thanks EQ, and probably the lamp )

the problem comes from the distortion, which feels rather transistor families. I have the doubt on the usefulness of the lamp (I wonder if it intervenes in the lead). we therefore distortion in the treble, and there is no choice, you can just hide it with mode2 or equalization, mode 1 is more natural

tate so I ... 5 / 10 because of the lead, if 9 / 10 = (

OVERALL OPINION

I got it secondhand in good condition for 6 months, and lead I still have not found her drinking, even if I tend to want to imitate a mesa that I ds' means of the distortion, the problem may come from l.

otherwise it is very well for the strata in clean / crunch, in terms of its power it can make scne, of repetition, the studio (I did with the three).

So trs well, but if you like metal and other distortions that mimic the mesa-boogie, go your way.

1 12AX7 for pramp.
The Tagus is power transistor in 90W and 120W in 8ohms 4ohms.
The HP is a Celestion Rock Driver (bec I remember), which sounds plutt not too bad, even from one or G12H100 Century vintage.
the combo is open to 3 / 4 the rear.
the look is nice.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple.
We obtain the correct one easily.
No manual.

SOUNDS

The clean sound is ok, a bit cold, but will ...
Saturation is not too bad either ... at least, is better than Mr. BOSS Metal Zone, 0)

OVERALL OPINION

I used the 1995 in 1997. It is a complete amp, and convenient to add or not the sound that reaches the return of the effects loop.
Qualitprix good value.
A good amp for beginners, and use a 2nd box with a quip or a G12H100 Vintage30 example.

With just over Buget (~ 300euros) even when it prfrera a Mesa / Boogie DC-3.

Preamp with a lamp, transistor amplifier 100 watts, 3 channels, effects loop, 2 HP, 1 headphone, 1 line out, possibility to connect a MIDI controller for optional channels ...
