HUGHES & KETTNER AMPMAN-CLASSIC 50W 2 channel amplified pedalboard

Tube circuit interactions are reproduced and modeled in a 100% analog way for an amazing and inspiring sound! AmpMan's provide access to this technology in a powerful, convenient, and affordable pedalboard format! Developed in the spirit of the famous TubeMan tube pedal, the AmpMan amplified pedalboards have 2 independent channels, as well as modern and clever features, such as a boost, an adjustable solo volume, as well as the RebBox AE+ providing 8 high quality cabinet simulations!

A clever amplified pedalboard with 2 independent channels!

Designed in a compact and solid metal case, the AmpMan pedalboards are built in a simple and efficient way, for easy and intuitive use. Featuring 2 different channels, one for clean / rhythmic sounds, and the second for more saturated / solo sounds, each channel has its own independent settings. The volume, gain and sagging controls allow you to fine-tune your channel's volume, saturation and compression levels. The sagging allows you to accentuate the simulation of power tube work, for more saturation and compression. Ultra inspiring and convenient to pump up and sculpt the sound to your liking at any volume and add some nice harmonics! The IDB Noise Gate taken from the Black Spirit 200 will limit unwanted hum and feedback, its level can be stored independently per channel. The tone, presence and resonance knobs will give you all the nuances you need to adjust your EQ as you wish, boosting or not boosting the low or high frequencies with precision. The master section controls the master volume of the pedalboard, and the solo knob allows you to adjust the solo volume from 0 to +6dB in addition to the master volume, providing a volume boost to easily get your solos out of the mix.

As far as connectivity and use are concerned, the AmpMan are designed to be integrated on your pedalboard for both stage use, and studio use! Its series effect loop allows you to integrate your favorite effects, and an auxiliary input is present to play your favorite songs. A mini-jack headphone output with independent volume allows you to practice in silence. The XLR-format D.I. output lets you send your signal to a mixer or sound interface easily at line or mic level. The RedBox AE+ technology can be activated and allows you to benefit from 8 very high quality speaker emulations, a world-renowned technology developed by the brand. A smart mode allows to keep in memory the activation of the boost and Fx loop functions per channel and to keep these settings when changing channels.

The AmpMan fits on all cabs, and its power depends on the impedance used (50W under 4Ω / 25W under 8Ω / 12,5W under 16Ω). Connect these amazing little amplified pedalboards to a 1x12" cabinet for a living room setup, or to a 4x12" cabinet in rehearsal or on stage for a headroom and powerful sound projection! You'll be blown away by the sound quality and dynamics of the AmpMan!"

Spirit of Classic!

The AmpMan "Classic" version combines the sounds of the Spirit Nano Vintage heads in channel A, and Rock in channel B! That is to say, Channel A delivers clean sounds with a bright, dynamic California style and a warm, vintage sound. But you'll be equally amazed at the organic overdrive saturation it can develop by playing with the gain and sag settings! Being able then to go from a limpid and wise clean to a warm and organic overdrive, which can remind you of the guitar sounds of the Woodstock era!

The B channel delivers to it the sounds of the Spirit Nano Rock. Overdrive/crunchy, British-style sounds, dynamic and full of inspiring harmonics. This channel extends its tones and saturation from the British 100 watt plexi amp head to custom versions (hot-roded brown type sound) developed for the hard rock era! Get back to the powerful rock sounds that resonated in the stadiums of the 80s-90s!
