Hughes & Kettner Edition Blue 30R guitar amp
Product no: 9000-0013-3323 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

The affordable Hughes & Kettner Edition Blue 30R produces a wide range of high-quality sounds. The Edition Blue offers realistic reproduction of your dynamics and also adds the original vintage overtones to them. It features an equalizer with treble, mid and bass so you can personalise the sound of the 30R with precision. The lower the mid-level, the more modern and inverted the sound.

Hughes & Kettner Edition Blue 30R Combo: Righteous Reverb

You can get modern and vintage sounds alike with the Edition Blue 30R, and that counts for both the clean and lead channels. The clean channel goes from clear to crunch, and the lead circuit takes it from there with an extensive palette of rock sounds. The 'R' after the 30 stand for Reverb, and each channel has its own version of that. You can switch between the channels and reverb with the optional FS-2.

Edition Blue series

When you see those blue lights, you should know that you're looking at a Hughes & Kettner. These compact amplifers are specially designed for small stages, practice rooms and home studios. The custom-built Rockdriver Blue speakers deliver definition and they emulate tube amps beautifully. The Edition Blue series is available with a spring reverb (R) or with a digital effect series (DFX) which includes chorus, flanger, reverb and delay.

Wrote the following about Hughes & Kettner Edition Blue 30R guitar amp

Prima oefenversterker, met een mooi cleangeluid. Klinkt ook goed met een overdrive ervoor. Daarnaast een effectsloop voor delay en tremolo, perfect. Het leadkanaal vind ik iets minder. Voor mijn ingetogen stijl tenminste. Deze Edition Blue kan voor mij ook prima dienst doen als Back-up voor mijn buizenversterker, die ik gebruik in een kerkband.

Autumnal Offerings from Fender

Wednesday 28 October 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Whether you've already started thinking about your Christmas shopping list or not, Fender has one or two items you might want to add to it. Guitarists can choose from a Special Edition Standard Stratocaster Black MN, aChampion 100 Snow White amplifier combo, or even a Rustler six-string Banjo! Please note that the guitar and the amplifier are strictly limited editions, so if you want one, you'll have to act quickly.

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

The VOX VTX Series - Evolution Accelerated

Wednesday 4 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

It's already been more than 10 years since VOX turned the amplifier world on its head with the Valvetronix series. This series of amps combined digital modelling technology with convincing tube sounds. Since then, models have slowly but steadily improved along with digital technology. Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.

Mesa has continued their glorious tradition by using four EL-84 power tubes in the amplifier, contrary to the earlier Mark Five Twenty-Five, that had to manage with 'only' two. This amp, preceded by the Nomad, Mini Rectifier Twenty-Five and the Caliber, has been released onto Mesa's mini platform in a combo as well as a head version.

Wednesday 20 January 2016 By Lizanne

Renowned instrument colossus Roland first introduced their Blues Cube amplifiers back in the 1990's. The idea was simply to program a transistor amp to sound like a tube amp. Now, more than twenty years down the line, they've perfected that idea. The result is the brand-new Blues Cube Hot: a portable 3-watt combo in Black and Vintage Blond.
