Back in the ‘90s, ATTAX amps were celebrated milestones in solid-state amp history. They married brute force power to subtle sound-sculpting options, with versatility and uncompromising finishing quality thrown in for good measure. And all this performance came at an unbeatable bargain of a price. Ten years on, the masterminds who brought you the TriAmp, Switchblade, and the like have revitalized the ATTAX, pairing its proven virtues with the latest technologyEquipped with four channels, ATTAX delivers to-die-for tone. Squeaky Clean, throaty Crunch, cutting Lead, and ripping Ultra high-gain – this amp takes you to all four compass points of the rock music map. Reverb, Delay and Modulation effects add three expressive colors to your sonic palette. Knowing Hughes & Kettner’s reputation for engineering excellence, it should come as no surprise that these are intelligently integrated, user-friendly on-board effects. Case in point: A nifty little feature called Channel FX Memory ensures every channel automatically activates with its own FX setting when you switch over to it.
Punchy, warm tone is precisely why players put up with fickle tube amps. To capture the burly, beefy warmth of valves running hot, Hughes & Kettner’s tone-tweaking specialists endowed the ATTAX with a power amp featuring the same current feedback used in tube power amps. Current flowing through the speaker feeds back into the power amp to lend a distinct tube-approved flavor to its response.
To convert all this awesome potential into sound pressure, the ATTAX comes in a sophisticated multiply wood housing loaded with a custom, second generation 12\" Rockdriver Ultra speaker that delivers true 100 watts of output power.
