What the cleans like on the modern???? You do not seem to test that on the modern, I'm tempted to buy one for recording, I like cleans, rock and metal, which one would you say is the most versatile to hit those needs, also can the be played without a cab and not damage them? If h&k did a deal to buy both I would but cannot spend £600 on the two lol so one it is
The whole video was recorded without a cab. You use the built in Redbox to record direct. I mentioned in the video that channel 1 is the same on both amps so the clean you hear in the video applies to both. For the money it’s a great little recording tool. If you want metal, you might want to consider the Modern. You could still back off on channel 2 or drive channel 1 to achieve more standard rock tones. Hope you pick it up! Oh. And in the opening jam, when you see an amp, that’s what I’m using for that part so you will see me playing clean on the modern.
@@LonelyRocker thank you for speedy reply I'm impressed I'll be buying the modern I think end of the month, I want a dedicated amp for just recording and this seems ideal, thank you and keep rockin 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻😡
Man, it sounds like these would be perfect for live solo gigs where you don’t want to bring a ton of gear. I’m wondering how this would work with a looper though. For example, I’d like to loop a clean tone and be able to play a little overdriven lead over it using channel B.
I covered them thew day they came out and you are right....inexpensive and very useful. Maybe not worth a lot on the aftermarket because they are so affordable. Better to have around I guess..
This is really interesting, i think this is thomas blug legacy or inspired by his amp1...to bad there r no hughes & kettner store in indonesia, i would like to try this
Love Hughes and Kettner stuff. I've had the triamp mk2 and now have the mk3. This seems like a great unit to have as a backup or just for fun at the price point. Only odd thing is that 50 watts at 4 ohms. Would have liked to see 50 watts at 8 ohms. That will be the only thing holding me back from picking one of these up. But that's just me.
I’m a tube amp guy myself but this thing is a great utility amp. Super convenient. At the price point it’s easily a writing tool or secondary station for me. Fun little box. For entry level players I think it will prove to be great value. Wish I had one of these when I was coming up!
I wish I had unlimited time to mix tracks for these videos but I’d never get theses episodes done. That was maybe two hours recorded, mixed and dropped into the video edit. 🤯 Oh. And composing on the fly. Fun times!
@@juujuubees379 an XLR out is definitely not standard. That is actually very rare at this price point. In fact this is probably the lowest price for a unit with XLR.
So basically it's the black spirit with only two channels from the blackspirit and the same totally sound from the blackspirit and. Nothing new in terms of sound improvement. So what's the point?
It’s not targeted to Black Spirit owners. It builds on the Nano by giving you more features in a small floor amp. Plus the Red Box is a huge addition. I think it’s a great starter amp for new players and a great utility tool to have on hand if you already have other amps.
@@guitarguru1758 H&K is committed to this platform. I think we will see it appear in different form factors and wattage for all layers of players. There is a growing appetite for tube alternatives at all levels...
I am glad I came across your review. You saved me money...
still awesome after the years 🎸🎸🎸
Nice to hear from you! 😎🎸🤘🏽
Thanks. Solid review, giving me the information that I wanted. Helped me reach my ultimate conclusion. I can definitely recommend this channel!
Awesome! Glad to be there for you! And I truly appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!
Very good review!! Short, sweet and you covered everything.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Is this in place of the Black Spirit 200 Floor? Not sure what’s going on here
No, these are their own thing...very different to the Spirit but I believe they share some technology....
@@LonelyRocker Thank you

They really are convenient. If you placed the looper AFTER the amp I don’t see why it wouldn’t work well with a looper.
These have now been out on the market for 3+ years. I find plenty to choose from new on reverb but I see no used units. Seems people like them.

Sweeeet! :-)
Good review! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What's the volume at 8 and 16 ohms?
Sorry! I made this video a few years ago and I don’t have it anymore so I can’t answer that accurately.

Maybe it will find it your way soon enough 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Can you use the cab sim to the mixer & power a 1x12 at the same time?
That's a very good question. I didn't actually test that...

100% it's a great time to be alive. My 1st rig was a zoom 505 through an Aiwa boombox using an 1/8th inch in. 🤣🤣🤣 We've come a long way!
You’ve got me beat!!
Lol. Not a contest I wanted to win, nor is it something I regularly admit to doing but I was 17 and just getting started. Lol
@@LunchboxMods We've all been there my friend :)
Would have loved to hear more sound samples, great review though
This goes back a ways. Thanks for checking it out!
Presonance :) nice new one on me.
Rough pricing?
I think they are around $399 USD
There's some great times to be had in here but that initial mix sounds a little muddy
I wish I had unlimited time to mix tracks for these videos but I’d never get theses episodes done. That was maybe two hours recorded, mixed and dropped into the video edit. 🤯 Oh. And composing on the fly. Fun times!
I wish it came with built-in reverb otherwise I would have got it.
It’s a pretty small unit. And with Redbox on it you have a ton of options.
Agreed, most things at 399 come with reverb these days.
@@juujuubees379 Most things at 399 don't have a built in switchable DI with 8 quality cab sims...
@@LonelyRocker Doesnt matter it should still have reverb DI is becoming standard too.
@@juujuubees379 an XLR out is definitely not standard. That is actually very rare at this price point. In fact this is probably the lowest price for a unit with XLR.

@@LonelyRocker I hope this isn't meant to be a "starter amp". All they needed was more wattage and it becomes a very relevant amp for any stage.
Well it isn’t $900 for one thing
