Quick. Someone freak out about Fluff demoing an amp they can't afford. It's helping.
Nothing Lion I will. Literally
AHHHHHH AHHHHHH AHHHHHH WHY CAN'T I AFFORD THIS?
*cries in the corner*
I was literally about to do this
A line6 spider is cheaper!
At least now the MKII will drop in price. That amp is basically a metal core machine. I don't think there was a kills itch album or Adam D produced CD before 2010 that doesn't have it there.
Reeeeeee
My guitar teacher is an H&K Endorsee, runs a Grandmeister 36 (the original) and a Tubemeister 18. Uses the Grandmeister for his big productions due to it's Modeling capabilities and the Tubemeister for small gigs whenever the Grandmeister is unnecessary. I find that H&K do a terrific job of having the perfect balance between a Tube amp and a Modeling amp and blend it into the ultimate All-Tube machine, it does have it's very own sound and some people may or may not like it, I however really dig it! The only reason I bought the Tiny Terror instead was because it was a lot cheaper and simpler to use.
It already sounds super tight and with the boost almost eliminates needing an 808 style pedal for tracking! Super impressed
I've always loved the look of Hughes and Kettner heads. It's just icing on the cake
I'm falling more and more in love with H&K amps
H&K is becoming really attractive to me. I see a GM 40 in my near future
True. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually GASing for a GM 36 or 40 more than the Mesa Mark 5:25...which has been my dream amp ever since it was released. Good shit, H&K!
Toby K. I agree!! I have a Mesa roadking and I can not believe I'm about to say this but I would trade for a HK 40
My guitar player has a 40 and it can do pretty much anything. We are a variety band so we do like 10 genres and it does well.
I had a Tubemeister 36 and the thing SLAYED. I dont really have the money for maintenance on it so I had to sell it but I LOVED that amp. One day I'm gonna get a GM40 Deluxe.
暗黒騎士 Ankokukishi ; What kind of maintenance?
I just got a mark 2 and I’m in love it’s my first tube amp
I have had mine since the day they have come out, I love it! There’s zero bad tones, easy to play and I’m always finding new sounds with all the channels
How does it for modern metal tones? Extended range and dropped tune high gain stuff?
This thing has airplane cockpit panel for the knobs
I've never been a huge fan of the riffs Fluff writes, but that one at 3:40 was way out of left field. Awesome job!
This Amp sounds amazing. There's a reason Alex Lifeson has been using H&K for so many years..
Honestly man, those were some of the finest tones you've ever pulled.
I've been really diggin these amps lately, not only do they sound bad ass they're elegant as fuck.
One of your best demo video tunes so far!
John Alden Davis It's from the RR album.
Oh, I KNOW!
I recently got myself one of these and I love it.
Jeeeeeezuz. My GAS is over 9000...
Freaking knew you'd be here man ;)
Agufish Nice seeing you here dude
Agu...tread carefully dude, your wallet may hate you for what you might do next lol
July 2020, and Hunter is finally owning one ;)
This thing has more knobs than my flat
bruh...... best tone you've ever had, period...... nothing comes close.....
I've been using a Hughes and Kettner Switchblade since around 2013. I'm so glad they're starting to really break into the market in huge ways. This thing is absolutely massive. Definitely at the top of my Amps To Own list...
Sounds like parkway drive tone, amazing! And this amp have more knobs than a airplane cockpit haha
This is the only brand I can think of where I just don't have a favorite amp. All their amp models & all their price ranges just please the ear so well.
One thing that appeals to me, power tube flexibility,, I love the idea of 6L6, EL34/KT88 options
This video just confirm again what I’ve had read before: the tone is mainly in our own fingers... fluff sounds almost the same with this amp than with others..... nice demo, though
So much win.
Who Wants more videos of this head? I DO
loved the tone and the song
This the best tune you've ever written, just amazing... Got an early 2000 post-hardcore vibe in there...
Justin Beck from Glassjaw has used H&K Triamps in the past. Fantastic tone.
I've got the little brother, the H&K GM36... love the hell out of that little monster. Paired it with the H&K 1x12 and it is plenty loud for the old home studio.
Great job with the demo, i really like how you took your time with the amp. While i could never get into H&K sound, they do make some high quality gear. Keep up the great work!
Hey, you want some vocals on that song, orrrrrr....?
Tanner Cowens sounds better without
can you sing in tune?
I'm rewatching this for the 3rd or 4th time and decided to look through the comments. This made me friggin cry laughing
That was a great track!
Bill Mellow It's from the latest Rr Album.
I've loved these since I found out Alex Lifeson had a sig Tri-Amp...it was the first "real" amp I ever wanted.
wow great sounding amp! thanks for sharing!
This amp has a awesome raw sound to it. Definitely want it in my rig. Would love to hear it fused together with a Mesa rectifier
Loving this tone!
Killer amp! Sick playing as always Fluff!
great riffs
this is from their album (band's name is Rest Repose and it's amazing!)
fazeel ashraf the song is called Polaris and it's from his band Rest, Repose
That's a great tune fluff! Loved it
man this is killer!
First amp ever was a hughes & kettner triplex. Still have a soft spot for that amp.
And to think some people complained that the Marshall JVM410H had too many knobs and buttons... :)
way out of my price range, but sounds awesome. the grandmeister deluxe 40 though. that thing sounds sick and is something i can get a hold of, plus I'm waiting to buy another amp to see if devin townsend ends up getting a signature amp with them.
Ur demos are amazing
Truly great amp! One day you'll be mine!
like the Swiss army knife of amps
Best song Fluff ever played. period.
I really love the discontinuity of your hair in the playthrough.
Sounds amazing.
Such a sweet, rich tone Fluff. Reminds me a lot of the tones on Soilwork's "The Panic Broadcast" record.
The "CC 412" cabinet models were the H&K that came with vintage 30s.
Great demo, man! Really explored a lot of tonal possibilities
Really have to say man, your recording and production have really progressed so much since I started following you years ago; congrats! Sounding great.
My dream amp... but right now I'm settling with my GM Deluxe 40.
Fluff this is why I like you! I bought my H&K triamp mk2 because Saosin used it on their album. Great Review, Thank you for making it Long aswell! Best review ive seen and heard of this head.
We are still waiting for the 6 videos. One video per channel. When?
Hey i have a question.. should i get this amp or the spark?
That baby could use a Precision Drive to give it a bit more punch, but it still sounds sick without!
Just bought the TubeMeister 18 yesterday! It's full of balls and chunk.
Nice demo ! Thanx !
I fuckin love that chorus riff.
really liked the tune! think rest repose would consider doing something with it?
What I am trying to find, I think, is a preamp with 3 tubes. The ADA mp-2 had it. I don't know if anything else did it.
what guitar rack do you use? I've been looking for a nice one but I can't find one.
dig the song. badass song man!!!
I was watching the playthrough, and at the top of my lungs I was singing "CAN I FIND A WAY, TO CROSS THIS LINE, AND CONSCIOUSLY, LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND!!!"
The one thing I noticed about amps is they usually like certain speaker/ cab combo's better then others, and this Triamp is no different. I'm thinking it needs the speakers that was designed for it more then anyother amp, just because mid frequencies are quite a bit bright. My Coreblade was similar, and I decided to do some tube changing to different brands till I found what worked best with the cab that i have. You should find a way to get the matching cab that goes with this amp.
torchlord11 i totally agree with you.I own the grandmaister deluxe and the jj's pre and power amp tubes helped a lot taming the brightness of the amp.Which tubes did you use and which speaker since all h&k amps share the same bright tone?!
Well I did something interesting with my Coreblade. I found out about 4 months ago that it KT88 power tubes would work in it, so i bought some. I currently use ET90 speakers, which give a smooth bass lead tone, and the bright treble frequencies are really subdued a lot compared to the Jensen Blackbird, which is really bright, percussive, and treble based, and a Jensen Tornado, which is really smooth, and slightly tamed in the treble range, with added bass frequencies compared to the Blackbird, that I previously had in my Port city OS Wave. I liked the tornado, but I blew it up when using it on it's own while playing my amp to loud. I had a hard time taming the Jensen's, and felt the speakers added a treble that I couldn't eliminate that easy with the preamp controls, so i switch to ET90's. The ET90's are really lead guitar smooth, and not very percussive. I can crank my preamp knobs all the way up, and it isn't that over the top with bright treble frequencies.
I wasn't sure about the ET90 speakers because i lost much of the attack, and percussive treble that I got with the Jenson speakers. In addition I gained a lot of bass, some mid range that I lacked with the Jensen speakers, but they are extremely smooth ,and i say great for lead tones, so I decided to dink a round with the 8-10 different pre amp tubes, that I had laying a round, to see if i can add some bright frequencies, and percussive attack back.
I'm currently using Tungsram ECC83 in V3, V2, and V1, which reduced a lot of the bass I was adding with the KT88, ET90's, and the port boost from my Port City OS Wave cab. I did also like the Tun sol 12ax7 in V1, which was bright but smoother, lead like, then the tungsram. I am considering Sov tek 7025 in the V1, as well, to bring in a more over the top percussive bright sound to my ET90's.
I got a couple of JJ 12ax7's, which really dulled the sound to much for what I was going for tone wise, and I felt they didn't really cut through the recording mix like I wanted. I like a bright sound, but I wanted it smooth too, so yeah asking for a lot lol.
I find I can do some interesting things with this setup. With the KT88's I can bring in enough yummy bass that I can create a lead tone similar to my very very bassy D activator neck pickup that is devoid of pick attack, with my bridge pickup, by dropping some treble in the preamp section, and cranking the resonance, and bass. The Mid range preamp control brings up upper mids, and don't affect the bass controls too excessively, and the treble, and presence, and treble do what they normally do, but they can't be excessively abused, because the speaker limits the upper high end frequencies. I think all the preamp controls seem to be really even when cranked to the max, but still sound good in a max setting.
Well that some of my odd ball setup.
Sounds great, man! What guitar is that?
Is that pickup just super-duper hot or is the headroom a tad lacking on Channel 1? Guessing the more in-depth demos will shed more light, just seemed like Channel 1A got quite prickly fairly quickly!
That's kickass dude sounds in my head nice track HK rocks.load of cash for the tri amp.
Sick tune, bruh!
The reason people don't see value in high priced amps is they want a glorified line6 amp. High end amps are designed with a specific tone that is very refined.
Surprised you got Greenbacks to sound pretty tight! I replaced all my GBs with Lynchbacks because they seem fatter overall.
+Ryan Bruce what are you doing for drums?
Damn that song is actually pretty dope
Getting some serious Nola vibes from this track. sweet amp!
Love HK amps. Have owned several over the years. Have had a GM36 for a few years now. It's a phenomenal sounding amp and can do just about whatever you need it to do. The mkiii is awesome but way too much amp for my needs, plus the price. Would love to play one though.
DUDE!!! I love your Riffs man! What do you have your guitar tuned at for this demo? Any advice on what I'd set my amp settings to and could I get this "kind" of sound out of my Mesa Boogie Express 5:25 Plus? Man I want you to give me some lessons! You Rock!
Good job on this one. Hope that your next reviews dont have that lowpass filter anymore. This one is good. Well done Fluff
I've been looking for a review that is quality and isn't by the conpany for this amp. I hope to get both the Randall Satan and Triamp mk3 before I die
The ORANGE OR100(SP?) IS THE SUPREME AMP TESTED THUS FAR.
Great amp. I think Amon Amarth also uses these.
Jay Grafe they used to use them they 6505s now
Cool, didn't know that.
Great song, upcoming Rest,Repose song?
That first riff sounded really good, Fluff. The rest of the riffs sounded great as well, but that first riff alone could be it's own tune~
i want to learn this song by ear. what tuning did you use? thanks.
I Am ScArce all rr I'm pretty sure it's in drop b
To my knowledge, breaking benjamin used these back during their first 2 albums.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
1:11 so... ISF? #Blackstar
dude, that song was really good, nice dynamics. once you've done a thorough series on the different channels, you should tell us how it stacks up with other amps, say the revv generator 120. I'd love to get your take on that. I love both, but I'd give bang for the buck to the generator 120.
Sounds great! Love H&K stuff.
What's it sound like through a Hesu?
helluva amp!
Diezel straight cab greyish front 👍
Where them future videos on this at?
This demo is awesome btw, love the channel
Does channel 2B (British Brown) sound similar to EVH 5150?
Amazing amp
So I'm just assuming here that since you're doing multiple videos on the amp, you're gonna get to keep it after the fact? If so, sick deal on your end Fluff!
is that some new guitar company making clones of the old Gibson RD?
who's it made by?
The TriAmp is amazing nit I think I'm gonna get a GM40 Deluxe as soon as they start shipping them again. they ran out of stock in the USA.
the chugging is heavy as fuck, without even trying too much.
Eh, I have my trusty 150 bucks H&K 15dfx blue from 2006 and it's still going. Heard one, heard all, isn't it? Jokes aside, very nice vid, thanks Fluff
I hope you read this comment as I recognize it's 5 years after this was filmed. I've just got one of these amps, and I have to say I'm really underwhelmed. Your sounds here are NOTHING like I've come even remotely close to, and I cannot figure out for one minute what the hell I'm doing wrong. I've been playing for years and do have some experience at achieving sounds that I like. I'm using this amp with an Axe FX3 in 4CM, into a Fryette Power Station 100, into a Boogie oversize 4x12. 1A/B are just woolly messes, 2A/B are somewhat workable, and the 3's are just embarrassing. To be honest I'm just at a total loss...any thoughts?
why is the guitar not laser etched?
Gabriel Moser he has many of those guitars because it is his signature model. Only one is etched ( :
What kind of guitar is that?
Isn't this H&K's answer to Mesa's Roadking? or was that another one?
PS: Miss my RoadKing =(
PSS: 2 x EL34, 4 x 6L6 .... 150w? @ 3:50
