The unmistakable blue lights of Hughes & Kettner amps have been seen on stages for some of the world’s biggest and best artists – from Rush, Kiss and Stone Sour to Pendulum, Al Di Meola and Elton John. In 2018, the German manufacturers announced their solid-state Black Spirit 200 head, the first to feature their revolutionary new ‘bionic’ Spirit technology – aiming to reproduce the natural response from classic valve amp circuits with effortless ease.
