Hughes & Kettner AmpMan Classic 50-Watt Guitar Amplifier Pedal Black

AmpMan features two fully independent channels with dedicated Gain, Tone, Resonance, Presence, Sagging and Volume controls and pre-gain Boost fine-tuned for that channel. This means don’t have to entertain any compromises when voicing channels and setting volume levels. Total tonal freedom is within easy reach! And can let that freedom ring loud and clear with the nifty Solo function. With this special feature, AmpMan not only strikes the right tone; it does so at the right volume. The built-in footswitches select channels and activate Boost, the FX Loop and the Solo function. If wish, AmpMan can even recall Solo, Boost and FX Loop settings when switch channels.Channel 1 of the AmpMan Classic serves up a sensuous experience in sound with all the immediacy and liveliness of single-channel amps with no master knob. These are the iconic sounds of the ‘60s and early ‘70s pioneered by the rebels who created the blueprint for rockin’ tone. This channel’s hallmarks are its wide dynamic range and touch-sensitive response to phrasing. Roll back the Gain and Sagging knobs, and it delivers crystal-clear, sparkling clean sounds. Set the Sagging knob to 12 o’clock or so, and it breaks up just like the tube amps of yore to produce warm, woolly distortion replete with rich overtones. Hit the Boost button, and it pumps out the thrilling sound of a fully cranked tube amp with an upstream booster.Channel 2 delivers the genre-defining full-stack sound of the arena rock era. This is the place to go if want a huge sound to inspire melodic solos and virtuoso tapping. This channel purrs when pick softly, snarls when dig in, and roars whenTHE punish those strings. It is so touch-sensitive and responsive that guitar’s volume knob puts the full range of tones from crunch to lead at the beck and call of pinkie. The Sagging knob works like a variable turbocharger, welcoming to the world of brown sound. Every string rings out with each note clearly distinguishable. Activate Boost, and this channel will greedily siphon every drop of tone out of those pickups even at the softest touch of a string. Tapping suddenly seems effortless.Chock-full of featuresAmpMan makes no compromises when it comes to tone, and the same goes for its feature set. Whatever use case have in mind—as a standalone amp, as pedal board’s sound hub, for practicing at home or for recording in the studio—AmpMan sports the right connectors for every scenario.The boss on the pedalboardRather than a three-band EQ section, AmpMan’s preamp sports one exceedingly effective sound-shaping tool for each channel: That Tone knob dials in everything from British to Californian flavors, all the shadings in between, and lots of other sounds beyond that. The Resonance, Presence and Sagging knobs shape the power amp’s tone. This combination of controls makes AmpMan so phenomenally flexible. It lets tweak and enrich pedals’ signals with preamp and power amp voicing options to bring out the best in upstream stompboxes.The footswitchable, serial FX loop is available for inserting reverb and delay effects. The built-in noise gate engages before the signal hits the FX Send so reverb tails fade and delays decay naturally. In-ear monitoring is an exercise in convenience with the Red Box AE+ and its eight painstakingly selected speaker models
