Product Detail
The Hughes & Kettner Spirit of Metal Nano Guitar Amplifier Head, with a 25 - watt output, is a remarkable piece of gear. It offers a wide range of tones, from sparkling clean sounds like a glockenspiel to smoky blues with a junkyard - dog snarl. Its lead tones are as seductive as a siren's song, and it can produce expansive arena - rock tones and the malevolent grind of heavy metal. This amplifier captures the essence of each era of legendary guitar sounds in three amps with unique personalities. The Spirit of Metal provides tons of gain. You can put away your booster as you won't need it beyond the 12 o'clock position. If you want less gain, just dial it back, and your tone will become more dynamic and responsive. The Sagging knob helps your tone ooze with endless sustain and creamy overtones for soaring lead lines. For rhythm work, you may want to reduce it for a tighter tone and quick response. The Tone control takes you through different metal genres, from modern scooped sounds to classic mid - range tones. Combine it with the Gain knob, and you'll have instant access to high - gain sounds from different origins. Don't be deceived by its small size. The Spirit Nano has an Ultra Response power amp rated up to 50 watts, powerful enough to drive a 4x12″ cab. It sounds great at all volumes and sends every watt to the speaker. At the heart of this amp is the Spirit Tone Generator, a German - made, analog circuit that replicates the magic of tube amps. It allows you to easily dial in power amp saturation. The Sagging knob gives you full control over power amp saturation regardless of volume. This amp is also a great recording tool. The Line Out on the back feeds a pure analog signal to your audio interface, enabling you to use speaker emulations and effects. With the Aux In jack, you can jam with headphones to backing tracks at any time. Technical specs: 25 watts @ 8 ohms (up to 50 watts @ 4 ohms depending on the cabinet), speaker out 4 - 16 ohms, 3.5 mm stereo Aux In, 6.35 mm Line Out, 6.35 mm stereo Headphones Out, dimensions 9 x 9 x 19 cm, weight 1.1kg with and 725 grams without power supply.
Using the Hughes & Kettner Spirit of Metal Nano Guitar Amplifier Head is easy. First, connect your guitar to the input. You can then adjust the Gain, Tone, and Sagging knobs to get the tone you want. For a high - gain metal sound, turn up the Gain knob. If you want a more dynamic tone, you can adjust the Sagging knob. When using the amplifier for recording, connect the Line Out on the back to your audio interface using a standard instrument cable. This way, you can take advantage of digital effects. If you want to jam with headphones, plug your audio source into the Aux In jack and your headphones into the Headphones Out. As for maintenance, keep the amplifier in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If there's dust on it, use a soft, dry cloth to clean it. When not in use, unplug it from the power source to save energy and ensure safety.
