Grind Your

COREBLADE is the flagship of Hughes & Kettner's line of high-end tube amps. Packing a whopping 100 watts, the head delivers tough tone, devastating dynamics, and an explosive punch. Clearly stoked about this four-channel amp's advantages, here's what metal meister Jeff Waters has to say:
Four independent channels, three parallel FX modules, an intelligent noise gate, automatic power tube management, and analog programming technology - all this adds up to an awe-inspiring arsenal of merciless sounds. And that makes COREBLADE the top-notch tube amp of choice for all metal axe-slingers. Grind your axe, indeed!
"This amp has everything a metal guitarist needs. And I had always loved the idea of the programming aspect being introduced into real tube guitar amps. But no one had ever perfected it. Until now!"
(Jeff Waters - Annihilator)
Wicked Tone

Two of the four channels are voiced to offer completely different high-gain alternatives. Beyond that, the amp sports a phenomenally versatile Drive channel and a Clean channel offering tons of headroom. The Boost button works in concert with the Gain knob to create more metal tone options than any Tube amp before, and three studio-quality effects sections may be
used simultaneously and stored on any channel.The ultra precise, remarkably musical IDB noise gate is available for all channels. With ultra loud clean tones, a mega-selection of the best metal rhythm sounds around, screaming leads and revolutionary new technologies, the COREBLADE is the metal guitarist's dream tube amp! Jackhammer riffs, full-blown metal madness and more, you get wicked tone galore.
