Hughes & Kettner Spirit AmpMan Modern

It's a simple analog amplifier. Sufficiently powerful in the rehearsal room setting, very convenient form factor, and competitive price.
The two channels have a sound that I like and can use when I play.
I've used it both connected to a 4x12 Marshall cabinet and directly into the mixer. I prefer this second configuration for its extreme convenience.
The only thing I would add is a reverb, but this can be easily solved adding a pedal in the effect loop. I love the form factor, size, weight and the immediate availability of all the functions I need.
The volume difference between the two channels that everyone talks about is real, but is not unexpected: the level of gain between the two channels is extremely different.
I recommended it to several friends and would buy it again myself

I love this unit. I can get any sound I want. Very flexible controls and I like how they concentrated in the power amp response. I can get this huge power amp compression, at very low volumes. The resonance and presence instead of EQ, make a lot of sense as well.

The modern channel in low gain can get me pretty close to the MESA Mark series and get some clean sustained sounds which remind me of Carlos Santana. On the same channel I can just use the boost and play my 7 string Ibanez and get really massive sounds.

The Gain and Tone preamp knobs make a lot of sense. The tone changes the voicing from mid focused (marshall style) to mid scooped (fender) and anything in between.

Overall I am super impressed and I've set up a travel pedalboard with the Ampman as the core, surrounded by fx and a drive for some extra flavours.

The only thing that bothered me is this unit is not grounded. So when used as an amp, I had some disturbing ground noise. I've make a ground connection from a jack to the wall outlet and now everything is super clean. But I wish they had thought of that better. At least it is easy to solve and the sound and versatility are totaly worth it.
