It truly is like no amp before.Spirit: The Bionic Tone GeneratorOver the years, we’ve been exploring the origin of the tonal magic of tube amplifiers more and more deeply. And what became obvious is this: it’s about way more than just the tube. The true tonal magic emerges from all the ‘weird’ dynamic interactions between the single circuit sections and the amp stages, the transformers and the speakers.Together, these highly complex and dynamic physical phenomena create that rich, organic and tactile sound experience guitar players are looking for.The Spirit Tone Generator technology faithfully recreates the natural, yet wildly complex, interactions of traditional tube amp circuits on a digitally controlled but strictly analog working platform. This miniature masterwork houses the essence of the physics behind tube amplifiers, with all of the intensity—hereby creating the rich and responsive tonal behavior that gives an unbridled joy of playing. Put simply, Spirit is made to inspire guitarists to perform at their best.Innovative Power Amp Sagging ControlMuch of the fascinating tone of the great clean, crunch and lead guitar sounds is down to a drop in power supply voltage when spiking transient signals hit the output stage hard. Now, for the first time in an analog amp, Black Spirit 200 lets adjust the amount of power amp sag and dial in creaminess and growl regardless of the volume level.Channels and FXBlack Spirit 200 features four channels that take on a trip through all the trademark tones of the last 60 years. And like four external stomp boosts, the channel-tailored boost will give an even more assertive, creamier, or punchier tone! Four inspirational, strictly analog channels plus a complete range of built-in digital reverb, delay and modulation effects make it a perfect all-in-one solution, while a sophisticated FX Loop lets connect external FX units. And it’s all accessible directly and with the trusted handling expect from a real guitar amplifier.Save Favorite Tones with the Push of a ButtonAll parameters apart from the Master Volume can be stored in up to 128 presets and recalled any time want! Black Spirit 200 is the perfect solution on stage and for sound library in the studio or at home. Recalling all favorite Black Spirit 200 tones couldn’t be simpler: just use the optional Hughes & Kettner FSM-432 MK III MIDI board, where every one of presets is the tap of a toe away.Capture Amazing Tones without MicsHughes & Kettner’s award-winning Red Box has been the music industry’s go-to device for recording guitars without microphones for decades. Black Spirit 200 features the most highly evolved Red Box ever: Red Box AE+. It’s the simplest, easiest and flat-out the best sounding way of sending tone to a mixer, a PA or a recording device. But what truly sets Red Box AE+ apart is its versatility: choose from eight different cabinet types—from monstrous 4×12 stacks to compact 1×12 cabs, and anything in-between—to truly personalize tone. This option is not only more convenient than miking up a cab. In most cases, it sounds a whole lot better
