This why I prefer camera mic to close mic.
What a great honest representation of what this amp might actually sound like in person.
Devin knows good tone! Sounds incredible!
DT is the most criminally underrated guitarists in the last 25 years.
I wouldn't say that, I'd say the most criminally underrated 'musician/composer' in the last 25. 'There are lots of guitarists that would eclipse him technically, but it's his choice and composition that make wanking solos unnecessary in his music. All the solo parts I've heard from him were very fitting and tasteful, even though he's got chops to be -much- waayy more. I love wailing melodic solos, but after hours of messing around with him as a background, I don't see much room for it, while still remaining tasteful. He's very 'lydian' due to the natural open C tuning he uses and the note patterns that present themselves, but lydian has almost been done to death as a solo thing (Vai, Satriani), but he uses little bits in his songs that make it very tasteful and never overused. Yes, there are those songs that are begging for it, but it's a little more than obvious he's thinking further and deeper.
Those are some sweet metal tones around 10:00, jeez.
Tech guy has so much adrenaline going on. And who wouldn't in his position, must be a great satisfying feeling for him.
Good job, both Devin and tech guy 👍
Yep, fair to say we were pretty excited to hang out with Devin :) He's one of our absolute favorites! Glad you enjoyed the video!
5:56 rethinking his entire rig
macewindex lol brilliant reading into that
The impassioned look of a defeated man....
14:28 It's really satisfying when somebody likes your product. I mean, look at that smile.

Devin plays really beautifully.
Check out the intro to Mountaintop. Absolutely gorgeous.
If you haven't already, you need to send him one. You can tell he liked it :)
interesting thing about this video... DT actually got into the zone while playing. Like really in the zone. I would not be surprised if some H&K gear found its way into his studio. Want proof... go to 13:56...
H&K, give your man a chair! :D
Ha, next time ;)
Chairsfordavid
Then again, who wouldn't take a knee for DT?
@@HughesandKettneramps
Would this amp head work well with a Schecter PT Special (P90/single coil)?
@@Sig721Tau Yes! We've tested it with a bunch of guitar types and pickups - P90s are awesome with it, and a Tele-style bridge single coil is our absolute favorite! We're sure the amp would match your PT Special very well :)
It's always a joy to watch Devin play.
Devin never fails to impress me
I can watch devin playing/fiddling for hours.he knows his shit. This young tech guy also knows his product.
When the tech probably spent a solid week memorizing everything and Devin has it completely dialed in 5 minutes...lol.
Its not hard
Some weeks ago I bought TubeMeister Deluxe 40 and I have to say - this is the best sounding amp I have ever played with.
We're extremely happy to hear that! Welcome to the Meister Family, and we hope your TM40 give you many years of musical inspiration and great tones!
Rock on,
Team H&K
I love when I randomly bounce around RUclips, and stumble across an awesome sounding amp. I think you guys nailed it, with this amp.
Thanks Bill! Glad you found us.
Having Devin take a look at your product must be a major boost for a company like H&K
Dev's jams usually hint to the direction of his next musical episode. From what I've heard recently I can't friggin wait!
I noticed that, too! Have you seen the teaser clips for 'Empath'?
Devin doesn't know how to play does he??? Wow...that is the absolute best demo of this amp I have seen and it sold me on the brand as well as Devin's music. Good Job H&K what a great product and what a great artist. Give the man the amp and cab ...He earned it!!
Thanks Howard! It was awesome just to be there watching Devin dialing in and testing those tones. Hopefully there will be a lot more of that to come!
Sounds awesome. Beautiful clean sound.
I seriously want one of these. I have a Tubemeister 18 and I adore it, but the extra features and controls on the Grandmeister would make it so worth it. It really is an affordable Swiss army knife amp.
Devin is freaking awesome. This amp sounds fantastic, great job Hughes & Kettner
He is indeed, thanks Nathan!
Hughes & Kettner so whats the deal yall giving him amps now or just a drop in? what cab is that underneath? v30s?
We just dropped in to see Dave Young (Devin's guitarist), who has been playing TubeMeister since forever. We wanted to show him the GM40, and Devin also fancied a go, and that's what you can see here! As for giving him amps in future, maybe... hopefully, let's see!
Hughes & Kettner what kind of cabinet underneath? devy is all about some blue led's so thats one thing you guys got going on, but mesa has bent over backwards for him for atleast a decade now. if u guys can come up with an amp that will stomp the crap out anything mesa, not only will devy be wanting amps but the rest of the world will be all over them. good luck and keep making those great amps. i may have to take a look at one soon myself. cheers. d
Cheers dude! This was just a spontaneous thing, but it went very well and who knows what's going to happen. About the cab, it's one of our 2x12s, the TM212: hughes-and-kettner.com/products/cabinets/tm212/
(These cabs were designed to fit perfectly with the Meister series amps...)
“The reverb is fixed”
Devin dies inside.
Wow, this looks like such a cool product. Massive tones and loads of useful functionality in a relatively small package. Win!
13:10 I want for my alarm clock tone...LOUD!! That's how to start a :Day!! Killer Tone!! Kudos to H&K and Devin!!
i ordered mine from sweetwater today..with the foot switch and 2/12 cab....cant wait to get it.
Hope you enjoy it when it arrives dude!
bluzmanintx 817 how do you like it now I'm stuck between what you have and a evh model. Also a Sweetwater customer
This amp is amazing. I need this in my rig now. Thank you so much for your guys hard work into making this amp and having Devin demo it for all of us to see and hear.
Thanks so much dude! We hope you like it when you get to play it for yourself.
I rememeber watching demos of this years ago when it was relevant, and it's still relevant.
That amp head sounds amazing!
H&K seriously make the best stuff. I bought a Triamp a 25 years ago that I still use as my main recording rig. It blows away anything else I've ever played through (and that is a lot of stuff). Have been tempted to buy one of these just to have it.
H&K better than Friedman? :D
i like h&k more, my taste :-)
i really hope they work it out so they can make a signature version of this.
This Demo just made the final decision for me. I will be ordering now. Thanks for this vid!
Awesome, enjoy the amp when you get it :)
I just fall in love for this amp
Wow!! I'm taking another look at this amp.
I need a Ryan "Fluff" Bruce demo. He approves it, I buy it. No questions.
Fluff will demo it very soon, no worries! It'll be out on his channel directly though, not ours. We hope he likes it too but he already got killer sounds out of it at the NAMM Show ;)
Excellent. To be honest, I'm gonna buy it anyway. I played a Tubemeister 40 at a Guitar Center, and I was blown away, I've never played a more responsive amp that was so easy to get a tone that was that organic, that raw, and that original. I'm just waiting to play the GMD40
Cool, and thanks! Yeah, might be worth waiting to try to GM40 if you want the extra versatility it brings through the built-in FX and the Ultra channel for more high-gain stuff too... Hearing Fluff's proper, produced demo is also going to be very, very cool.
Sounds like the first H&K Amp that i like :) Great Job Guys
but all of his tones are meh and his riffs are meh. He knows what he is talking about but my overall opinion is meh
The Lead Channel is a KILLER !!
What Devin played at 14:24 is one of the most beutiful thing i ve heard. period.
@JMC4101994 I agreed
H&K amps for me have always had fantastic tone, this is a sensation amplifier! I own a Matrix 100 and absolutely love it!
This sounds absolutely superb! Go Devin 👍👍👍
The dude takes 3 minutes asking questions and turning some knobs and BOOM, sounds like Devy through a single small simple amp
Yep, he's a total boss! Was great watching him do it and hearing it in the room :)
I'm jealous. I totally idolize this guy. Hard to believe that by talking to you I'm now only one handshake away from him!
It's a small world indeed ;) And more (even better!) Devin stuff to come from us too, as he and his guitarist Dave came to visit us a couple of weeks ago...
Surely looking forward to that!
I love that sound around the 11:12 ish mark. That nasty hot rod twang sound!!!
I love my GrandMeister!
Never change his settings!!!!!
I think in time people will realize that the programmable line from H & K is so much better in every regard I.e. feel, patch switching speed, analog tone , programmability , etc than any modeler. The line out with a good I.r. is waaaay better than any modeler and the best gigging solution! Wake up people! I can't wait to see what they do next!!
Was wondering how something with Dev from Hughes & Kettner could have so few views. not realizing I'm super early
Devin is an amazing technician to watch in the studio. He clearly enjoys testing out the HK Deluxe 40! Thanks for posting this video.
Thanks for the kind words Tim! It was great fun and an honor to sit there with Devin and listen to him as he got to know the amp - and hopefully there's more to come soon ;)
Thank you for the reply and thank you for the ReTweets. I have been tweeting the BLOG of Tone articles. I also take care of the Aldious USA Twitter/Instagram. As you know the 'pink' Coreblade of Toki. ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
We know - thank you very much for all the tweets! What we'd love to do at some point is a rig rundown with Toki - that pink Coreblade always gets a lot of attention, and there's a TriAmp in the setup too... that'd be a great one to do. Maybe if we're ever over that way, or the band tours Europe...
Thank you! I sent the message to Mr. Matamura on Facebook. I said he could contact you through Twitter or Facebook. (The Aldious girls make me laugh) and I like to help Mr. and Mrs. Bozzio try to get Marina to play overseas. Good Luck my facebook is facebook.com/jrock.usarock
Thanks a lot Tim, and let's see what happens :) Rock on!
If you like Devin's clean playing here then get his album 'Ghost'.
The main thing that everyone forgets, is that he gets that tone due to it's low tuned guitar. That's why it sounds so thick and powerful. No need to copy his settings. Tune your guitar to open c and instantly you have thicker tone. Use the same settings with these in the video with a standard tuning guitar and the sound will be thin and not so great.
Yep, great point - that's a massive part of it!
I'm always tuned in c standard. that's where my voice is.
This video just sold me.
Satches long lost brother...
Very very nice tone, and killer playing as well...
This is also a nice endorsement for his pickups, thick as hell but clear, ringing, great sounding.
Holy shit! First time hearing of this amp, but it sounds amazing and love the features it has with the footpedal! May need to check it out!
amazing sound.
Really digging that amp!
I have been researching these to see if I can get my tone without relying on pedals. Apparently YES!
I am getting this amp! I have been looking for a new Tube amp to replace my B-52 At-100 (go ahead and laugh, but it was an amazing amp until I plugged into a shitty power supply and my pre-amp blew a few caps. Replaced them but it never sounded the same again).
Plus if Devy approves I am down. This was the most realistic amp demo I have seen. Looks just like anyone else at the music store fiddling with an amp to get the tone they are looking for.
Awesome to hear! We'd not actually heard of the B-52 amp, but it looks pretty cool! Shame it's gone :( But we reckon you'll be happy with the GM40. It was exactly like that with Devin: he'd never seen the amp before, and we just filmed what happened... turned out pretty well! Hope you love the amp when you get to play it for yourself :)
Very cool. I hate using pedals I personally feel that if you need a giant pedal board full of EQ's, overdrive, distortion and other preamps style sound modifiers then you bought the wrong amp. OR if you are going to use all of that then don't spend much on an amp because you are mostly using the power section and can get away with a considerably cheaper power amp. I am all about Guitar-Cable-Amp DONE!
PS I am also NOT a fan of Mesa or Marshall, just sick of having those crammed down my throat all the time.
Yep, we agree! The good thing about GrandMeister is it gives you all the options in one box, so you can go guitar-cable-amp and still have all the sounds you need!
That amp sounds great! H & K ROCKS!
Thanks dude!
Ok... This idea is gold... You have known artists play through a new product in real time with a rep present....
That amp is a beuty great sounds ! :)
I’m impressed with the amp and everyone in this video. Great job
Been saving up money to get me a H&K Gm deluxe 40 and from the looks of it still sounds killer can’t wait to get mine soon hopefully 🤘🏻
want it now.
I´m in love with H&K, got the tubemeiser 18 and to be honest I was not expecting much but damn... Best amp I have ever played so far, I might get the GrandMeiser 40 in a future, for now the TubeMeiser 18 is more than enough for me.
Thank you so much Enrique, this makes us very happy to hear :)
@Enrique Corona
I have my Tubemeister 18 for almost 3 years now and I still can't say that I'm super satisfied. People on the internet really praise them, but for me it has been hit or miss so far.
I really want to love my amp, but I can't. Maybe it's all my cheap cabinet's fault. What cab are you using?
@RevonFyll
The Peavey 6505+ has been my main amp for a couple of years now, I got it based on all positive reviews and comparisons, but it was not what I expected, it has been a pain and struggle trying get to sound good, its a love hate thing, so I decided to switch to another brand after playing with en ENGL and a Mark IV in rehearsals. I wanted to mention this because I know what you are going thru.
I bought the Tubemeiser just because it was on sale and because I dont really need a 120W amp. I have a Marshall 1960 cab that I barely use and a custom 2x12 cab that I build with V30s, its a copy of a oversize Mesa 2x12. I did not struggle to get a great sound on either channel except on the "Lead" channel, if the boost is not on it doesn sound good to me, short after I got the SD 805 OD pedal and wow sounds great on both channels. If you have a chance try it on a different CAB, go to your local guitar store and take your amp try different CABs, if still doesn't convince you then this is not the amp for you, I know people change the stock tubes to fit their playing that may be another way to go for you.
@Enrique Corona
Thanks for the reply.
For reference, my cab is a Kustom Defender (really low end stuff). I've tried my TM18 on a Fender Hot Rod Deville once (using the built-in speaker as a cab) and I remember it sounding a lot better, but still not quite there.
I also think it sounds better with single coils. My guitar has EMG's on it, and I think they are killing a lot of the tone.
If I can, I will try my amp with a Celestion Vintage 30. The matching cab for the Tubemeister is loaded with one, so I'm guessing it might be a good match.
I got this head and this video was what sealed the deal :)
Killer amp guys, I want one.
Sounds bad ass!
Sounds amazing. Nice work H&K
Thank you sir! And to Devin for making it sound awesome of course.
I'm now considering getting one based on this Demo. Cheers
Holy shit, this looks amazing.
That amp sounds great!
Sure helps with Devin playing it, cheers Marc!
@@HughesandKettneramps so true.
i bought this amp based on devins sound he got out of it, and im glad i made the purchase. it has its down falls just like many amps but it does what its designed to do, be versatile in a small package with lots of great sounds. very loud for the 40 watt rating.
Cheers Mark! Glad it's working out for you, and yes, it does so many different things we think pretty much every player will find at least a couple of things they can work with ;) Enjoy your GM40!
very happy with it !!
Mark Grant it seems like such a great amp from the demos. What didn't you like about it?
the amp is amazing, clean headroom is a little lacking with lower wattage settings but I now let the PA do all the work. really nothing negative to say about this amp. I'm actually using it live more now over my mesa dual and bogner shiva. just so easy to get a fantastic sound everytime through the sound system.
Thank you so much for the kind words Mark, we're super happy the GM40 is delivering for you!
I'm highly considering this amp... it's on the radar. The power soak, punchy drive, decent fx, pedal.. needs more demos besides Devin (g-d).. but he could make a line6 sound great!
Thanks for the kind words John! Not sure if you've seen them yet, but Ola Englund and Rabea Massaad (as well as others!) have also done some awesome reviews of the amp. Check them out here:
Ola: ruclips.net/video/Mgc1TqoPZ10/видео.html
Rabea: ruclips.net/video/6Y6TuOfNFbk/видео.html
You should do cabsim out as downloadable through SDcards IR loader (as LeCab2 VST type) or something like that. Couse all cabsim outs still sucks. So I need just load my favorite Impulses (even layers of impulses) and tweak them to get tone I want. And direct it in mixer when live (ready for mixer sound).
That's a pretty cool idea...
the direct looks like it's pretty good. I'm very very picky with impulses, I've tried hundreds and only use 2 or 3, and I like the sound that I heard for the direct out on other vids.
But that's still a good idea
If you can't get a good sound with Catharsis or Gods Cab then quit now.
Such a beautiful piece of equipment, but sounds amazing and has had everything well thought out for every requirement.
Where do I send my money?
He he, you can send it directly to us ;) In all seriousness though, we're happy to hear that - we read all these comments and it really makes our day to get such nice feedback! We hope you get to try the amp out for yourself somewhere soon, and who knows, maybe even hand over money to your local H&K dealer for it :)
Team H&K
This is how you dial it in.
Anything.
11:11 that djenty tone , every djentkid dream :)
Hmm seems to sound great. Just one question; are the built-in effects before the FX loop, or after it? It's very important to me, because I use my looper pedal a lot, and I need it to be after all effects (maybe reverb doesn't affect as much as the other effects).
The only review of this amp where the disto sounds ok. (so far)
Thank you so much. Holy .... I am actually driving to Toronto to check that head out. This is great. Ill go in like a boss, and put the sales rep to his paces. I will buy it. But the salesman wont know. I may even leave, come back later. Na.. That would be a dick move. Peace.
Devin Townsend just sold you guys another Grandmeister 40, ill def be picking mine up shortly
Wow, hope you enjoy it! Thanks for trusting in us and especially Devin :)
Is like my first marshall amps, i forgot what type is. Avt if im not wrong...have so much digital fx...the different is only full tube
I would like to see the tones that Lifeson would take from this amp!
awesome... want one
Refresh this thing with knobs that turn to the positions they were set to automatically and I'll instantly buy this.
We did think about that at the time years ago, but that would make the amp significantly more expensive, and prone to extra kinds of breakage. Would you pay a couple of hundred dollars more for pots that physically moved? If you would, let us know - that's the kind of feedback we always pass on to R&D!
@@HughesandKettneramps I think I would. Or as a compromise, make a smaller 20 W version with less knobs but let them rotate. I don't really need more than 20W ever, since for concerts the cab is mic'd anyway and for rehearsals and home recording/practicing 20 is already overkill with most amps.
From a UX point it's a huge advantage: It's so often that I have to slightly tweak some settings due to the acoustics of the studio or venue I'm in and searching the point it was saved on is just annoying.
I did not expect it to be as expensive thought, I would've estimated around 100-200€ for this feature. I guess there's a reason why the Hook Wizard which does this is jsut under 3k€.
Maybe there are other solutions, but I guess displays or light rings put off the old school crowd. I personally wouldn't hate something like on the old Peavey Vypyr amps. Could be a lot cheaper than rotating pots, but has to work lag-free and granular enough.
@@fretboardrunner Thanks for all the feedback! We've passed it on, as we said.
Yes, it's a tough call balancing everything out - the cost of the tech, versus the look of it, the desire to not put off certain people, etc. You're right that light rings can put people off - we've used them in a few older amps too, back in the day, and some people really don't like them. That said, these days our amps are blue-lit and Plexiglas, so maybe we're not going to appeal to certain old-school players anyway and we should just go for it ;) Ultimately, we're a brand that does like to push tech forward, as evidenced by the amps we make, and so maybe this is something we'll look into reintegrating in the future!
@@HughesandKettneramps I'm really looking forward to trying it out ;)
I fou d a tc nova drive that has an 808 ish circuit thats midi controllable. The HK has a thru to send command so it can turn it on and off to boost the main rhythm channel i use. What an incredible amp.
Cool pedal, and we're happy the amp lets you use it to the full! Rock on :)
Great sound and features! I've ordered mine, but still waiting for it to come back in stock. Not sure if it's just so selling fast, or some other reason… But it keeps on being out of stock even though it was introduced last year.
Cheers for the kind words! If you're in the USA, it is indeed because they're selling out super fast each time a shipment comes in, but more are constantly on the way over so hopefully you'll have yours soon :) Hopefully it'll be worth the wait!
Fu*king awesome tone!!!
My next amp
Just ordered one
Been in the market of selling my gear. Would love to try this amp buy can’t find it anywhere. Had an OLD 200W solid state combo Hugh’s and Kettner and I actually loved it despite being solid state.
Hmm, have a look on out dealers list Matt, maybe there's one you didn't know: hughes-and-kettner.com/support/dealers/
Yeah, we hope you get the chance to try it soon! If you've already had a taste of H&K before you should love it! And no, nothing wrong with solid state either :) Rock on!
I've watched this video at least a dozen times, along with the interviews he and Dave did with H&K. Great tones abound! Planning to buy this amp next week. Maybe Devin can convince them to make a 6L6/EL34 version to rival the Victory Kraken... ;) You'd definitely sell 'em, Hughes & Kettner!
Cheers Michael, and enjoy the GM40 when you try it for yourself! Yeah, that's a cool idea - consider it passed on to our R&D team ;)
Thanks guys! Its so cool to hear directly from you. You rock!
great review! thanks.
I think I may have found my dream amplifier...
I am sold in this amp, it seems like a swiss army knife, can do everything
What an ear for crunch
It started out a bit thin and mostly mid range.
After SOME MAJOR tweekage, Devin got some balls out of it
Can the thing REALLY remember the exact levels and have an effects loop worked in??
And this is a true tune amp yes? Sounds really great
It is a tube amp, yes, and thanks :) Three 12AX7s in the preamp, and four EL84s in the power amp!
... what a monster metal guitar tone ! ...
as much as devy liked this amp, I don't think he will be losing his mesas for his live sound. he could use these at home for practicing tho.
I'm sure Mesa will block him on social media soon lol
that would be an incredible compliment to H&K honestly lol
He hasn’t used Mesas in years.
@@dannymiller7129 so what is he using now? Make and model?
@@Gornflyin axe fx
Do I need to be a gear nerd like Dev, to understand the crazy features of this blue glowing box? ;)
Yeah, this was Devin's first time seeing the amp, and the video in uncut. It was that simple! Although we admit he knows his gear and he had Dave from H&K to explain it to him too ;) But really, you just need maybe five minutes to get used to the way of building and saving your preset sounds and then it's all easy!
Hughes & Kettner OK guys, thanks for answering me, I appreciate it. :)
I really wish it had a headphones out considering it has the 0w power soak
Yeah, we understand that. If there's ever another GM model we're sure it'll have one, just like the newer Black Spirit amps do. So your point is noted :)
It's not that hard to use the GM40 with headphones though - just run the Red Box into your mixer or audio interface/DAW and use the headphones that way.
Rock on,
Team H&K
@@HughesandKettneramps thanks
@@valebliz No worries!
GREAT demo! GREAT playing! Defvin always impresses (and I especially loved the 'puppies' passage!) Really, this may VERY well be my next amp purchase for sure.
But I also have five questions:
(1) Is the boost controllable _and_ programable at all-especially to each patch? (Rather than a one-size-fits-all bump up in volume whenever you hit it.)
(2) Does the Noise Gate save its position per patch? (I'm expecting so.)
(3) Where along the signal path does the FX Loop sit?
(4) Does the MIDI Out send patch commands to other MIDI-receptive pedals such as outboard delays etc.
(5) Could a Helix substitute for the H&K footswitch to change patches via MIDI, plus be able to add its own effects in via the amp's FX Loop, too? A la the '4CM'?
Yeah, lotsa questions, but TIA!
the tone around 5:15 is so good.....
