Hughes & Kettner TriAmp MkII
Posted by Jon in • Guitar Amps
I had the fortune of checking out this amp the other day and had to feature it because 1) it’s an amazing amp and 2) the front lights up! Okay so the fact that the Hughes & Kettner logo seems to magically light up blue along with the amp model name and all this on a completely clear front so you can see the 4 EL34’s in the poweramp and the 9 12AX7’s in the preamp could be considered a bit over the top, others however may consider it to be the icing on the cake for this beast. Once those tubes start glowing it creates quite an amazing image along with the neon blue.
”This definitive all-tube, Custom Class amp puts the most sought-after sounds in amp history at your fingertips. It’s all there, from vintage Californian clean to ‘60s British jangle and from classic rock tones to nu metal meltdown
Each of the amp sections features two channels, dedicated 3-band EQ and Master controls. Remote channel switching comes courtesy of the included Stageboard. The built-in effects loop is configurable in serial or parallel mode, and the optional MSM-1 MIDI module adds remote MIDI switching capabilities.”
Make sure you check out the demo (click on the demo link on this page) for a close up view of the front and back of the 100 watt head along with plenty of audio demos played through a Strat and a Les Paul so you get a single coil and humbucker demo respectively.


See through is so cool, the light up name and knobs make it even better
