Triamp is nice sounding, but you have to turn it up! :twisted:
Too many channels for me though, spend to much time tweaking the amp, not enough playing!
H&K make some great products, a lot better than Mesa, and a worls away from Peavey...

I used to have a H&K Tubeman, and I can say, it blew the Mesa V-Twin away when I tried them at the shop. 8)

I use a H&K Tube Factor, the Tubeman's little brother. This one also blows away the V-twin.
If you wanna buy a H&K amp, the Duotone is very good. Too bad it doesn't have reverb.
Anyway the stuff is German. H&K is the Porsche of tube stuff.

Hi All,
I am looking to buy a new pedal for my fender hotrod deluxe and per Ratrod the h&k tube factor sounds amazing.
After some research, I saw the new h&k tubeman with the 3 channels and eq.
Has anyone played with this yet? if it sounds as good as it looks i will have to pick one up....thanks

Oh man, I s-o-o-o-o-o want a H&K Triamp. I've wanted one since I heard it demoed back in 1998. Still haven't been able to afford one though. :( I think I'll be old by the time I get one, like those sad, old guys who drive sport cars. :?

OOO what a conincidence, my old topic resurected on the same day i finally got to try out some hughes and ketter gear.
They were trying to set up a dealer ship at my local today, but there already wuite over stocked as it is, i got in just as they were packing away luckely cause seths a dude he unpacked it again and let me try out the hughes and kettner trilogy.
It is hands down an awsome amp, exceptionally versatile, as with all h & k stuff the clean channel was perfect, and the little bright switch (i think it was bright) boosted the mids and trebble a bit making it perfect for some funk noodling.
The next channel gave a real nice bluesy sound, just overdriving enough but remaining clear and articulate, and the boost button was handy for solo sections.
The Dirty channels were a bit of a let down, yeah they were nice and with a bit of tweaking at home (and matched up with a better cab) it probably would have sounded better, but it seemed a little fizzy and lacking bass (e.g. i had the bass on 10 and my neck single coil, and it didnt feel like my rib cage was going to shatter)
If your looking for an exceptionally versatile amp (thats probably why Alex Leifson - Rush, uses H&K gear) then this is definatly one worth checking out, however it's really not the amp for me, maybe for its clean channel, but then its not really worth spending £1000 plus on a clean channel. But yeah if you get to give one a spin it's definatly worth trying.

I always saw H&K amps as sounding very modern and sterile. I've never played one, but i've heard many played and they always seem to sound fat and chunky and modern, and then on the clean side, sound completely clean and characterless. Do I really just need to go and try one, yes?
-
Yeah can't hurt to try it out.
As for me i'm back on my quest for some JCM 900's

The best opinions are always backed up with experience :wink:

a guy in a metallica cover band near me used to run a H&K ATAX 80w combo, it was AMAZING for a SS combo, he used a Grass Roots ESP explorer and had the Hetfield tone abosloutely nailed... pretty nice amp that one! 8)
I like the Warp7 aswell, but (like the Ashdown Fallen Angel) after a bit of playing i found it was too much of a nu metal one trick pony.. but good value and good at it! :D
