Hughes&Kettner TriAmp Mk1 anyone? :)

Recently a guitar dude bored me to death talking bad about Hughes&Kettner TriAmps. When I told him about my first production series (1995) Mk1 100W Head he topped himself by saying 'pure trash'.

OK, I thought to myself, let's show him what a Tri Amp Mk1 can do in terms of extreme tone shaping i.e. with a Telecaster. Here is the result:

Ooooops.... I overlooked your post, so thank you for that.


Meanwhile I did install a new tube set, just watch the glow of 13 new tubes directly after powering on:

It is! That's how two HK TriAmps MK1 look like with reduced room illumination...

....and here with the room lights entirely switched off:

Wow, you play very well. And your tone is really sweet.

I missed your video earlier (I was blinded by the glowing tubes), but man, REALLY nice playing!

cherrysunburst00, RustyNuts,

thanks for the compliments, but what you heard was mainly a proper Tele over a HK TriAmp Mk1 who made that possible.

Tele, Strat, whatever, it sounded really good.
