HK Tubemeister 18

Post by Fuzzy_Nuts »

Anyone seen this bad boy yet.

Starting at 600 Euros MSRP (about $850) for the head. Probably a little cheaper at retail. The thing looks bad-ass to me.

I like the indirect blue lighting they're using. I hadn't seen this one yet.

I saw this picture of Hendrix, all he used was a wah.... And not even the Jim Dunlop Jimi Hedrix wah, just some old thing.....
Jimi didn't realise the horrible tone suck we had to listen to every time he used that wah.

I have no idea what it sounds like, but as far as the small amps go, I think this is the sexiest.
