H&K Switchblade....

[XSSIVE]

check this thing out.... all tube amp 4 channels (clean, crunch, lead, ultra) and built in Reverb, delay, chorus, flanger and tremolo.

this could be very cool and i'd love to get my hands on one of the 100w heads to try out.

Re: H&K Switchblade....

i have a new logic with amps and guitars. less knobs on the guitars and more knobs on the amps. less pickups on the guitars and more channels on the amps!

Wow, that amp really seems like a huge bang for the buck. If it had good tone it'll be a great amp for sure.. but that's easier said than done... haha

Re: H&K Switchblade....

i saw the amp on their website a few months back. does seem like a cool idea. and i like the demo of it as well. one of the guitar worlds a few months back came with a cd that has the same demos on it. i think i made a thread asking about it a few months ago. but it had just came out and i dont think anyone knew much about it.

Re: H&K Switchblade....

I haven't tried one yet. On paper, it looks like a dream amp, marrying tube technology with modern features. In the new Guitar Player Mag, I noticed the small donut transformers, and I'm skeptical because most good amps have large metal trannies. I figure that it's like a Marshall DSL with a Vetta's versatility.
I like the concept behind it.
