Hughes & Kettner has released its first family of micro amps with the new Spirit Nano series. These three models deliver the rich sound and response of traditional tube amps. With up to 50 watts output power, a built-in Red Box cabinet simulator and the Sagging control, the new Spirit Nano heads each echo an entire chapter in the history of legendary guitar sounds. The Spirit of Vintage model serves up the full spectrum of shimmering clean sounds and Rockin’ rebel crunch tones typical of the ‘50s and ‘60s; The Spirit of Rock head takes players on a journey through time to the era of iconic power riffs to pump out signature brown sound and lubed-up lead tone that lets slick lines fly from fingertips; and The Spirit of Metal (pictured) delivers everything from beefy ‘80s metal sounds to the bloodcurdling bombast of modern metal tone.
