Hughes & Kettner Coreblade

Hughes & Kettner Coreblade 100W Tube Guitar Amp Head Black


Coreblade is the flagship of Hughes & Kettner's line of programmable tube amps. Four independent channels, three parallel FX modules, an intelligent noise gate, automatic power tube management, and analog programming technology add up to an awe-inspiring arsenal of merciless sounds. And that makes Coreblade the top-notch tube amp of choice for modern metal axe-slingers.Wicked tone Two of the four channels are voiced to offer completely different high-gain alternatives. Beyond that, the amp sports a phenomenally versatile Drive channel and a Clean channel offering oodles of headroom. Boost is separately switchable and three effect modules may be used simultaneously for each per channel. The ultra precise, remarkably musical Intelligent Dual Breakpoint (IDB) noise gate (which simultaneously measures the gain at the input jack and after the preamp, to react perfectly in any given situation) is available for all channels. The power amp feedback circuit reconfigures to tap the full sonic potential of each channel, evoking sounds that do everything from sparkle and chime to sing and scream. Jackhammer riffs, full-blown metal madness and more, you get wicked tone galore. No compromises in tone control Programmable and maintenance-free PRN (Programmable Resistor Network) potentiometers are the most sophisticated analog sound-shaping tools. Only Hughes & Kettner has mastered the science of these elaborate knobs to benefit your art. Engineered to deliver a lifetime of service without ever becoming scratchy, these knobs let you tweak each of the four channels fully independently. No two channels share even a single knob.
