Purist Pleasures
No frills for the ultimate sonic thrills...
The amp of every purist’s dream: If you have always wished for an amp that responds to your every touch, then this one’s for you! Determined to create a truly uncluttered amp with point-to-point wiring, we sought to go the shortest distance between guitar and speaker cabinet. Everything else had to go. Forget the master, effects loop and fancy switching frills – our no-nonsense blueprint left no room for interpreters that might dilute the message. Just one channel with 3-band EQ, a volume control, and selected superior components – that’s it.
This disciplined approach yielded one of the world’s most responsive and articulate amps. And if you feel the EQ gets in the way, simply dial it out by using the Growl knob. Puretone pumps out far more volume than you’d expect from a 25-watt amp sporting two EL34 tubes. Hence the two-stage powersoak that lets you enjoy the aural rapture of a Class A power amp breaking up – without blowing out your eardrums.
Puretone is the non-stop ticket to tonal heaven for real players!
Custom Class
Our company is powered by a passion for tone. We know that it takes a lot more than a fistful of valves and branded speakers to make great amps. You have to obsess about every detail. And it’s not just the design, the workmanship or the quality of components. The magic is in the right combination!
Our Custom Class amps are the fruit of our never-ending quest for perfect tone and performance. It is this pursuit of excellence that makes Hughes & Kettner® Custom Class amps unique instruments for unique musicians, designed to satisfy even the most discriminating guitarists’ demands. Looking for the ultimate? You’ve found it.
Our Custom Class is not about yesteryear’s designs that limit your playing flexibility. Nor are these amps about this month’s flavor. They are the perfect marriage of classic tones and modern flexibility. These treasure-troves of tone are built to go the distance in all respects.
They are handcrafted in our German custom-shop, just like you’d expect from products in this class. But despite boutique credentials such as hand-wired circuitry and superior grade hand-selected tubes, we engineer these amps using 21st-century manufacturing and cutting-edge testing methods. And that translates to dramatically diminished tolerances and variances for unprecedented reliability and consistent sound quality.
These amps look awesome. But under that stylish skin, they are tough as nails – built to take a pounding and keep on sounding! Featuring heavy-duty stainless steel chassis, they are rugged, reliable and roadworthy pieces of performing art!
Whatever your favorite flavor – The Shadows, Slade, Santana, Sting or Slipknot – you can count on our Custom Class amps to give you the definitive sounds you’ve come to expect from Hughes & Kettner. Today and at every gig for many moons to come!
