Sporting 12AX7 preamp tubes and dual 6L6 power amp tubes, the Hughes Kettner Statesman Dual 6L6 combo features two sweet-sounding discrete channels.
The Hughes Kettner Statesman Dual 6L6's clean channel delivers the soulful shimmering tone of an open tube combo. Its Twang switch lives up to its name by adding a healthy helping of punchy high-mids that put the spank in funk and do the country twang thang so well; even contemporary ballads benefit from the upper mids boost. Dial in a dab more gain, and dive into a world of dynamic crunch tones and hair-trigger response to every subtlety of your touch.
The Drive channel of the Statesman Dual 6L6 offers more than merely more gain. It delivers the secret ingredient that is so critical to a classic rock sound - the powerful punch of a half-stack. The Gain knob takes you on a magical mystery tour from a throaty mid-‘60s bark to a typical ‘70s rock bite. The Boost button is a time machine, taking you and the amp’s overdrive tone a few years down the road!
The Hughes Kettner Statesman Dual 6L6 sports a genuine Accutronics spring reverb; the Reverb Balance knob controls each channel’s amount. A modern effects loop lets you add external effect devices to the sonic equation. And the included footswitch lets you tap your toes to conveniently activate the two channels, Boost, the FX loop, and Reverb.
An Eminence speaker developed especially for the Hughes Kettner Statesman Dual 6L6 amp brings together the grooviest tried-and-true design features of US and UK speakers. It is the key to the Hughes Kettner Statesman Dual 6L6's jaw-dropping tonal versatility.
