    Default Achtung! (Hughes & Kettner Tubeman MkII)

    Cool SS! What made you decide to get that one? You tried in a store or something or you heard some kick-*** clips somewhere?

    I havent tried it, and I havent heard much clips of it either. But I have sold a lot of H&K stuff in the past (when working in a music store) and the reviews on Harmony Central tells me that this is H & K at its best. Sounds pretty much like their top end tube amps according to a friend that has the first version (which I´ve tried and liked a lot). This one is all that the MK1 had with a upgraded integrated Red Box Pro

    It's must be the knob count - I mean 10 knobs on a pedal. :

    With that many I would expect it to be able to save presets

    But what do I know ?

    I think it's the fact that it's a shiny object that it gets my attention

    Looking forward to hearing your review.

    Justa, the GT2 + Tubeman will be my new love couple... I really think that they will work great together... but the PodXT will have to go..

    That's right SS sold his Tonelab & his Pod.

    He's a Big Game Hunter on the prowl for the ellusive perfect tube-like direct tone.

    sssssshhhhhh, he seems to think he's got it in his sights now....sssshhhhh.

    Haha very funny... Grrrr..

    The PodXT and the Tonelab are two GREAT sounding direct record units. No doubt about that. My personal problem is that I love to buy/sell/trade stuff and I love to test out new gear.

    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    Way cool! I'd love to know what you think.

    Did'ja think about trying an AXE-FX? They get rave reviews.
