HUGHES & KETTNER Tubeman II

Guitar Recording In A New Dimension

Several years ago the original Hughes & Kettner TUBEMAN set a new standard for studio preamps, and that standard holds to this day. TUBEMAN combined a high-quality tube preamp with speaker simulation in a remarkably compact format. So compact, in fact, that it could very conveniently be used for both home recording and pro studio sessions with very professional results.

Straight into the Console with Rich Amp Sound

This same concept has been taken to an even higher level in the new TUBEMAN. The R&D team that created the Hughes & Kettner TriAmp revamped TUBEMAN’s tube circuitry to give it even greater expressiveness and responsiveness.The speaker simulation has been upgraded to match that of the new RED BOX PRO for added realism. The feature list now incorporates improvements suggested by TUBEMAN users from all over the world, for increased convenience and flexibility. The result is the TUBEMAN Guitar Recording Station, and it will change the way even the most demanding users think about recording guitar - without microphones, without a recording booth, and without hassles. Guitar recording in a new dimension.

Direct Access to Three Tube Channels

The new TUBEMAN offers three tube channels, each accessible directly via footswitch, and each with separately adjustable controls. In the studio this gives you a very live feeling, where you can switch in real time from clean to crunch or lead and back. On stage this lets you use the TUBEMAN as a smart live amp. Simply connect from the TO MIXER-output to the live mixing console, and suddenly a three-channel guitar amp is standing before you on stage.

Innovative Sound Control

In addition to its highly effective 3-band EQ, the new TUBEMAN offers a special VOICING control on Channel 3 (the ‘lead’ channel) very similar to the one that was highly praised in the TUBE FACTOR. This one simple control makes it easy for you to dial up a broad range of amp characters and find your own sound fast.

Rugged and Ready

The compact metal housing of the new TUBEMAN is built rugged to handle abuse as a pedal, and is equally at home sitting next to the mixing console, taking up less space than a notebook.

* Tube preamp with 12AX7 tube 3 channels, for clean, crunch, and lead sounds
* Master 3-band EQ
* Voicing control in Channel 3
* Click-free channel switching with no delay
* Outputs both with and without Red Box cabinet simulation for use TO MIXER or TO POWER AMP

Rugged metal housing for use anywhere: on-the-floor or on the console.

HUGHES & KETTNER Tube Tools Tube Rotosphere MKII

Foolproof Leslie simulation.

Like the original rotary cabs, the Hughes & Kettner Tube Tools Tube Rotosphere MKII offers 2 rotation speeds and fine harmonic tube distortion generated by an ingenious high-voltage tube circuit. In stereo mode the Rotosphere offers awe-inspiring tonal complexity and dynamics, making it nearly indistinguishable from the original Leslie.

Hughes & Kettner Tube Tools Tube Rotosphere MKII Features:
* High-voltage tube circuit with drive and output knobs for authentic tube growl
* Easy to use and transport, particularly in comparison to a real Leslie
* Hip sounds for guitar or organ
* Faithful replication of breaker switch
* 2 rotation speeds and independent acceleration and deceleration for top and bottom rotor
* Variable final speed for both rotors
* Real bypass
* Stereo input and output

HUGHES & KETTNER Replex Tube-Driven Tape Delay Simulator

Emulates the sounds produced by magnetic tape and the heads of coveted vintage delays.

The Replex is a premium-class tone-shaping tool that provides tube-driven reverb and echo with tape delay simulation. It precisely replicates the complex sound-shaping properties of the great '60s tape delays and is far more musical and varied than conventional digital delays without the hassle and unreliability of tape devices. In addition to producing the warm sound of topnotch spring reverbs, it offers individually variable single-head and multi-head delays. Includes power supply.

HUGHES & KETTNER Red Box

The Hughes and Kettner Red Box Classic is a world-famous guitar direct box - you'll never have to mic a guitar speaker again!
The Red Box converts your amp's Line Out or Speaker Out(!!) signal into a balanced, frequency-compensated signal that you can feed direcrly into a mixer. The Red Box Classic features two voicing options, a 4x12-inch cabinet and a 2x12-inch combo.

The Red Box Classic may be powered by Phantom Power, or a standard power adaptor like the Boss PSA120, a 9 volt battery, or anything from 9-15V AC or 9-24V DC.
