New from Hughes & Kettner Amplification

The Matrix 100 Combo

 

The amps that stage your breakthrough: Great tone, unique features - great price!
 
If you want big sound, but don’t have a big budget yet – then check out our awesome Matrix Series! These amps provide all must-have sounds and effects, from clean to blues, rock to warp and back! Matrix delivers the sinfully sweet tone that has turned Hughes & Kettner into a household name for many pro players – these babies even have plenty of stage-compatible power built-in. There is no catch – the only “less” in Matrix is a price that certainly won’t bust your budget!

Matrix amps are true analog designs featuring our trademark sound and great quality. What’s more, they offer some very[|]cool and unique features: The Matrix Series offers the world’s first amps with four analog channels and unique Autostore FX multieffects matrix – hence the name. Each of its four channels (Clean, Crunch, Lead and Warp) is able to recall its own multi-effects settings without you having to store them first! So from now on, you set each channel up the way you want it, including Matrix’ excellent multi-effects, and use the included 4-way footswitch to simply switch complete sounds! Finally, you can focus entirely on your performance rather than the stressful “stompbox ballet” when bypassing your external FX-boxes barely in time for the solo.


 

Also in stock the Edition Tube 20th Anniversary All Tube Combo

 

The Edition Tube 20th anniversary was introduced last year to celebrate Hughes & Kettner's 20th anniversary with a deluxe version of one of their most successful all-tube combos. Compact and easy to handle, this mighty mite serves up big inspiring tone you wouldn’t expect from a combo this small! Its two channels cover the full spectrum from vintage clean to bluesapproved crunch and rock lead cream. Edition Tube delivers the goods with authority and quality persuasive enough to convince hardline purists. A key factor in this amp’s sweet sound is the power amp and special design of the enclosure.

 

The two EL84 tubes supply smooth saturation and compression even at moderate levels, and the combo’s closed back enhances low-end response for a sound far bigger and punchier than its size suggests. Plug into Edition Tube 20th anniversary and keep celebrating for decades to come!

Breaking the tone barrier between Tube and FET has been a challenge to most amp designers for a long time.  But, during the recent development of the new V2 and T2, we made several ground breaking discoveries that allowed us to narrow in as to why tube power reacts and feels so much differently than a traditional solid-state power amp.  Those discoveries, as you’ll hear this year, resulted in the revolutionary new “Valve-Dynamic™” power section.

Incorporating a single 12AT7 tube to drive a large Mosfet output circuit, this highly advanced power circuit has a natural compression which clips extremely soft at higher volumes reacting very much like a traditional power tube.  The key or secret to this new circuit however, was capturing or emulating the true frequency response curve of a standard power tube which has very unique characteristics to that of solid-state power amp.  The new Valve-Dynamic circuit not only captures a tubes reactive qualities, but also the warmth, feel, and musical character of full tube power amp, but with the durability of a 400 watt Mosfet power amplifier.

The Short Timer Digital Delay

Why only a short time ago, (no pun intended), the digital delay was considered the greatest effect invention a guitarist could get his hands on. Like everything else in "excess-laden" America, delays had to be longer and longer. To that, Rocktron says, "nuts". What if the player just wants to add some short, sweet, quick slapback-style delays to his sound? You remember slapbacks, don’t you? They ruled the 50’s and 60’s sound – think Rockabilly and Hot Rod and Surf music. Well, going out on a limb here, Rocktron introduces the Short Timer Retro Digital Delay. And some of you are going to think this is cool!

With two modes of delay, called (and we made this up), "Short" and "Shorter" to provide a wide range of quick delays that are still the most widely used delay times even in modern music, the Short Timer will NOT stand up to those long delays for length. But then, you don’t want it to. Some like it short and sweet.

The Level control on the Short Timer adjusts the overall volume of the delay effect. The Regeneration control adjusts the number of repetitions of delay effect. The Time control adjusts the length of delay and is used in conjunction with the Short/Shorter Switch. When the switch is out, (or in the Short position), the delay time in milliseconds is set between 200ms and 400ms. When the switch is in, (or in the Shorter position), the delay time in milliseconds is set between 0ms and 200ms. The actual delay time is then adjusted using the previously mentioned Time control.

Digital delay pedals usually sound better when placed after distortion. Thus, if you are using a distortion pedal, place the Short Timer after the distortion pedal in the signal chain. If you are using your amplifier’s distortion, try putting the Short Timer in the effects loop section of the amplifier, (following the instructions in your amp manual when using the effects loop).

For distorted rhythm playing, set the Short Timer Delay to "Shorter" and the delay level and regeneration levels low. For distorted lead playing, set the delay to "Short" and bump up the delay level and the regeneration level to your taste. For chicken-pickin type delay, set the delay level to "Shorter" and bump up the delay level and regeneration level slightly.

The Short Timer is built into Rocktron’s super tough road worthy extruded aluminum chassis. This pedal is equipped with a super bright blue LED so you will know when the pedal is on. The easy access battery compartment will make changing batteries during a gig a breeze. In the market for a delay? Check out the Short Timer!!
