I received my Hughes & Kettner TRIAMP today (MK I).
Got it used for 560 bucks.

AWESOME AMP!!

My Statesman head already convinced me but heck, this amp blew me away while testing it today.
And yes, I'll be deaf for at least one more hour! :lol:

It's almost impossible to get a bad sound out of this amp, unless you don't turn all the knobs all the way to the left or to the right, ha ha ha.

The only thing I miss a little is the push button I know from my Statesman, which changes from British clean to Californian clean but then again, I only played for half an hour to test all functions.

This amp serves everything, from ultra clean to death metal and everything in between.

3 Amps in one casing, each with 2 channels.
If this amp isn't versatile, I don't know which other tube amp is!!

I've driven it at 50% max and man, it's powerful! .... and heavy!! (my poor back! :lol: )

Nope, it does not glow blue like the MK II, you just see the tubes glowing when it's on.
Not as spectacular looking as the MK II in action but who cares about the look??

That's a steal at that price. :shock:

Absolutely looooove H&K stuff. I think they do some of the nicest modern amps money can buy.

I'm severely lusting after a Puretone at the moment - possibly the most unforgiving and unflattering amp ever made. I like that sort of challenge. :lol:

Great score, Deet!!
I tried one of those a number of years ago. Great amps and that's a Smokin' price.

Wow . . . love the whole presentation of it. Looks like a work of art with the tubes encased in the plexi glass. Have fun with your amp! I wish I could come over and plug my tele up too! Congrats!

Where do you get prices like that? Shouldn't that head be 2X or 3X that? Plus it looks really clean too. Does it have the foot pedal? and what is the midi component? Wow that looks awesome!!

Sweet! Isn't it great when you get a major deal on a piece of gear you love?!

FWIW, I'm GASsing HARD for a Statesman. I watched their demo, with the German fella who does all their videos, and the tones coming out of that thing were blowing me away! I was in classic rock/blues heaven.

There's no lack for good choices in their lineup- that's for sure:
Tubemeister
Statesman
Coreblade
Triamp
etc...
