Submitted by Alex Lifeson :) at 06/28/2003 05:26 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price Paid: EUR (300) used Features: 10 I play mostly Blues, Jazzy rock styles and ´some funky stuff, too. The amps raw power stands out cool against the 8 peace set I have to deal with. Excellent switching concept (phantom-powered footswitch LEDs!) and effekt loop design! Sound Quality: 10 Good clean sound and brutal crunches and leads. I play both a Fender Strat and a Les Paul clone by Pearl. The amp itself is very quiet and can produce most anything you want it to, unless it is a sound not usually heard in the music business :-) Reliability: 9 there was only one issue with a mechanical defect in the power supply. Otherwise the thing is very well built nad highly servicable! Customer Support: 10 About the best support one can imagine. They repaired my amp in no time at all (no charge!) and even sent it back to me for free. Overall Rating: 10 I'v been playing in various bands since 1968. If you can read German, check it out at my homepage www.helmutsworld.de/livemusi.htm I had lots of amps. The H&K Tour Reverb reminds me of my 100W Marshall Lead Head that I had in 1970. I'd rather not think of getting ripped of this amp, I'd go out and buy the smae one again! A built-in chorus is obviously only available in dual speaker amps. Sigh! It could use some tilt-back legs, which I had on my line6 flextone II once. Submitted by Helmut Jungkunz at 05/14/2003 03:33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price Paid: $750 (Canadian) Features: 9 Amp was made in 2000, and was bought brand new. I have had it for about 2 1/2 years now. 3 Channels. Clean, Crunch, and Lead. Clean is very good. Crunch is alright, but not really useful for what type of music I play. Lead is amazing. This is one of the best distortions I've heard from an amp in a long time. It also has a Reverb and Effects Loop which I've never really played around with. Amp is used for small gigs (100-200) people and it is mic'ed and sent through JBL Eons. Most of the time during our practices I am only on about 3 1/2-4 for volume, and it still has plenty of juice left to give if I need to turn it up. Sound Quality: 10 It is played through a Gibson Les Paul Classic (60' Reissue) and an Ibanez GRX20. For effects I use a ZOOM GFX-8 floorboard, and everything sound very good (Especially with the Gibson). The lead channel is perfect for the type of music I play (Mostly 90's Rock, and some Nu-metal). It has a bit of hissing when it is turned up loud enough, but it is not noticable during a gig. It can tend to feed back a bit if you get to close to it when it is cranked. The sounds you can get out of it vary between a nice warm clean tone, to a blues type tone, to almost any type of high-end driven distortion out there. This amp has a lot of top, but not that much bottom end crunch. The Celestion Rockdriver Pro 100 is an amazing speaker, and I have not had any problems with it so far (Unlike Line 6 products, where I have had several speakers blow in there amps, especially the Spider series). Reliability: 10 The amp is very dependable. I don't have a backup for it, and have done probably 10 gigs or so with it, without any problems. I have done nothing to the amp, and it still works just as good as new. Customer Support: N/A I've never dealt through H&K, However the store I bought the amp off of never did give me the channel switcher for it (They lost it or something). I have phoned several times and they say they are going to order it every time, and never do. I am a bit disapointed but I run it though my floorboard anyways so I have little use for the channel switcher, but it would be nice to have. Overall Rating: 9 I've been playing for around 6 or 7 years and have had 3 previous amps. This is still the best solid-state combo amp I've ever played in terms of sound quality. It it were lost, I would not buy this exact amp, but I would just simpily buy the Tour Reverb head with a 4x12 Cabinet. I love the amp. There is nothing I hate about it, I can guarentee you that the next amp I own will be a Hughes & Kettner. Submitted by Kyle at 04/03/2003 18:38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price Paid: 600 (Canadian) Features: 9 They have all been listed, 3 channels, clean, crunch and lead. As others have stated the clean and lead are killer, and the crunch is decent. This works well with me because I don't use the crunck often enough for it to be a deciding factor for me. I was slightly overwhelmed at first, this being an upgrade from a Fender Frontman 15..."Woah, more than five knobs?" Very easy and straightforward interface however. A chorus would have given this amp a 10. Sound Quality: 10 I am using my Ibanez RG470 (all stock parts) and I am finally getting the proper heavy sound out of it with this amp. My little 15 had absolutely no bottom end, it sounded a lot like a radio. After plugging this thing in and playing for a bit and experimenting I found out that there is a lot of loose things on shelves in my house. Now I have to go around making sure everything is safe from a fatal plunge. This amp is also finally allowing me to experiment with a clean channel because although my 15 had one, it didn't do its job. When I set the volume to about 4 and beyond I get similar sounds to what I heard from some Mesa halfstacks at small local concerts in my area... very nice. Voice dial is also fun to experiment with. Reliability: N/A Can't really rate this because I bought the amp last night. Seeing as it is solid state and seemingly well constructed, I wouldn't worry about it. If I could afford a back-up amp I would buy one, but I can't, so I'm not too worried about it. Customer Support: N/A I will find that out in good time. Overall Rating: 10 The only thing that does not satisfy me 100% about this amp is that there is no chorus, but I'm sure I can save up for a pedal or something. I have never had chorus before (except by playing through my computer and using Creative sound card effects). The amp's sound quality and options vs. price definitely gets it a 10 though. Submitted by Deryk Morrish at 09/27/2002 13:50 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price Paid: $685.00 with taxes and shipping (Canadian) Features: 9 Made 2002, three channels, clean, overdrive, and lead overdrive. The two distortion channels share the eq and a voicing knob. Each channel has it's own volume, and channel 2 and 3 have their own gain knobs as well. The voicing knob is great and allows you to scoop out the mids. There is also reverb, fx loop, extension speaker out, line out, and a volume for the fx loop. Good list of features. Sound Quality: 9 The clean is quite good, after owning nothing but tube amps for two years, is still sounds very good to me. Good volume, won't break-up, I like it. The second channel is really good too. You can set to almost clean with just a hint of break-up or some good rock/blues tones. I wouldn't suggest buying this amp for this channel, but for those who just want some versatility, it's a nice channel. The third channel is also (surprise) really good. It get's pretty heavy (it sounds a lot like my mesa nomad hi-gain channel). It sounds just a little middy to me though, and even with the voicing knob, I don't get quite the scooped mids I'm looking for (I've come to realize as most people have or will that the sound you like in your bedroom won't work on stage, that said I'm sure this channel has the tonal qualities to exactly fit the bill for metal in a live situation). I did put my boss gt-3 in the fx loop though, and using nothing but the nine band eq, I got a very heavily scooped mids sound. I do recommend this amp (with or without extra eq) to heavy guitarists. Reliability: N/A I haven't had it long enough, but it does seem very well constructed, and it's (sigh of relief) solid state. Customer Support: N/A Haven't dealt with them. So can't say much. Overall Rating: 10 This amp is a good amp. I've owned three tube amps prior to this, two Traynors, and recently a mesa nomad. I finally decided to get rid of the hassels of tubes and go solid state, and I'm not too dissapointed at all. Of course tubes do sound better, I'm not going to lie. But not much better, and I will gladly pay a third of what I would for a tube amp for this little degradation in tones. The fact of the matter is I'm not a pro. I may well become one, but right now I'm not. I don't need to have the best equipment (just really good), and I don't need to worry about the extra expense of tubes, and maintenance. When I do become pro, someone else can worry about that for me. Also, let's face it. I've never been to a non-pro concert that had good enough sound to really show the little tonal qualities of the players amp. It is either good, or bad, and this amp would defenitely be good. One last point, every one knows tube amps sound best when cranked, so why not do yourself a favor, and actually wait until you have pro gigs where you need to crank your amp, otherwise, save yourself $1000.00 on that amateur budget of yours. I did, and I couldn't be happier.

Submitted by terry at 08/12/2002 20:57 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price Paid: US $489.00 Features: 9 This amp has: 3 channels 2 equilizers ( one clean and one lead, the lead and crunch share one) ( treble, mids, bass ) lead channel has a voicing knob which enables you to get any sounds you want volumes on each channel. gain on crunch and lead channels Master volume Master reverb Master fx input jack foot switch jack 2 one for reverb and one for channels line out external speaker cabniet jack ( when plugged into a external cabneit this amp rocks my face off!) head phone jack Sound Quality: 9 sounds beastly i use a Epiphone G-400 which have gibson stock pickups my pickups are hot, and i get some feed back but who doesn't? this amp has a butload of variety, the voicing knobs and equilizers hold such endless possiblities. Any thing is possible. The distorstion can be brutal. i don't normally use mids but my new settings are: bass 10 mids 2 treble 7 with the voicing around 3 o' clockish and the gain up the whole way i sometimes use the crunch channel as a solo channel i turn it up louder than the others the clean channel stays nice and clean even at high volumes, it responds to the nauces of you picking technique it is sweet Reliability: 10 i have had this amp for about 5 months now. the main reason i picked a Hughes & Kettner product is because i bought their Attax 50 used. it was pretty beaten up when i bought it. but it sounded like a mesa boogie with out the tubes. sweet! anyways that thing has been dropped down flights of stairs, kicked around, and fallen out of a moving vehicle and it still works fine. the thing is beastly. i had to trust Hughes & Kettner after that. i have never had any problems with my Huges & Kettner amps! Customer Support: N/A no clue i don't have to deal with them because their amps are tanks Overall Rating: N/A i've been playing for 3 years i mainly play punk,funk,jazz,metal,rock for all of these styles this amp is sweet. i played the Marshall series but i instilled so much trust in the underdogs Triple R Guitar, Lemoyne, PA Submitted by Liam at 08/01/2002 12:03 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price Paid: US $575 Features: 10 This amp has an amazing amount of versatility! I like to play everything from ramones and green day to led zeppelin to nirvana to pink floyd - and I never have a problem getting the exact sound I'm looking for. The three channels are foot-switchable with a H&K two-button footswitch, but what I currently do is use a Boss FS-5L, which allows me to switch between the clean and lead channels (whenever I use the crunch channel, it's usually for an entire song or set). The reverb/effects loop are switchable in the same way. I use the amp for gigging (small to medium venues) and use it for practice all the time - I absolutely love it. Sound Quality: 9 The one thing I find very intriguing about this amp is how well it expresses a guitar's finest uniquities. A "cheap imitation Strat" becomes a "dirty savage beast," and a higher-end guitar makes this amp absolutely amazing to hear. As far as variety, loudness, and what kind of style it fits, the Tour Reverb has all, some, and none of the above - depending on what you prefer. Any sound you want is possible with a little tweaking - this is without a doubt one of the most versatile amps I've ever played with. Oh - and the distortion? Make it subtle, roaring, screaming, screeching, crunchy, dirty, saturated, muted, muffled, piercing, moderate, or whatever else - the amp has so many different variables in the tone, richness, and "crunch" of the distortion that there's virtually no limit to the possibilities. Reliability: 8 The only problem I've ever had was when I first bought the amp, speaker seemed to have been damaged. I returned it to the store, and the manager ordered me a brand new one. I've had no problems whatsoever (knock on wood) with the new amp - and the first one was a floor model in the store anyway. Customer Support: N/A Never had a problem... haven't dealt with H&K support. Documentation is plentiful. Overall Rating: 9 Versatile and loud, this amp is amazingly great. If you're looking for an amp in the $500-$800 range, I HIGHLY recommend the tour reverb. Submitted by Gene at 03/15/2002 22:46 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price Paid: $685 (CDN including tax) Features: 9 Three channels clean, crunch and lead what else do i need to to tell you that the other reviews haven't they pretty much cover the features, i would say that the clean channel is super clean, took me a bit to figure out how to get some good distortion at low levels without turning it up (really pissed the neibours off for about 2 weeks) Sound Quality: 10 i use an effects board (korg ax1000g) so i just put it thru the clean channel but i love the lead better than any preset on the korg sounds AWESOME i am going to go and buy the foot switch for the amp (this does not come with the amp upon original purchase) because i would like to just use the other effects on my korg like phaser, flange, delay and use the 3 channels on the amp + the effects on the korg :) Reliability: 9 well absoultly no problems with the amp so far and i live in edmonton, alberta left it in the car thru a bunch of different temperatures and it still works the same as the day i bought it Customer Support: N/A never had to call them but great work on a awesome amp Overall Rating: 10 I spent a long time looking for am amp and this is my 1st real amp, always used the 10 or 15 watters you get for real cheap. i was looking at the line 6 spiders and the tour reverb was right beside it my girlfriend told me to try it but i was like, as if i could afford a H&K, she made me try it and it BLEW the spider away then i saw the price and just about s**t, i WANTED the amp, went back to buy it and it was gone! no more in stock! well i was pissed for not buying that day i went looking for somebody else that carried H&K but hey nobody did not even in calgary found one place that did but they didn't have the tour reverb either. So i broke down and started looking all over again looked at mesa's and marshalls and even crate but still dreamed about the tour reverb, i had to get this amp, so i ended up looking all over the net and everything is in american dollars i could not find ANY and i mean ANY reviews of the tour reverb, to make a long story shorter i ended up having to get it shipped in from quebec and it took 5 weeks! The longest 5 weeks i have ever had to wait but i got it and am really happy i got it than any other amp i was looking at. if this amp were lost or stolen i would be crused i would buy another one for sure. I don't gig with it cause i am not in a band yet but i would trust it totally i was jammin witha buddy who had a marshall valvestate 100 and the H&K was WAY LOUDER kicked his ass but also much cleaner than the marshall. If you are curious about anything else then email me if you are reading this and it has been awhile and you want to know how the amp is still holding up or if i have had any probs email me. awesome amp for the amount that i paid you will find no better deal anywhere! unless it is boxing day and you waited in line all nite. brrrrr that could be a cold nite.

Reverb, Fx loop all the works Footswitch not included :( but never mind! Sound Quality: 10 I use a crummy squire strat and it still rocks!!! This amp brings out the best in distortion great for punk!! and the clean is also really good for the mellow sound! Reliability: N/A ?not sure yet only had is a while Customer Support: N/A Overall Rating: 10 been playing only 1 year i have had loads of 15 / 10 watt things when i saw this and heard it i fell in love with it!!! i chose it over valve state 100 and the Laney tube fusion tf300 This is a must buy amp!!! Submitted by FirmgripDOTcoDOTuk at 11/10/2001 08:43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price Paid: US $380 Features: 9 Solid state amp with a nice case. A 12" celestion speaker. 3 channels: clean (and this is clean!), crunch (you can regulate from smooth to some harder crunch, my fav channel) and lead (very interesting and rich voicing knob!). Can be controlled by 2 footswitches. FX loop in/out, line-out, headphones. I play some kind of slow core, emo-core and rock. THis amp suits perfect for it. It is loud enough for me, and the sounds get better if you crank up the volume (quite muddy on master 2). Sound Quality: 9 I use several guitars with it: Epiphone sheraton, squier jagmaster, squier tele thinline, ovation celebrity. I usually play with following eq. Settings: bass 7, mid 2, high 9. You can get very nice sounds out of this amp, form ultra clean, to really heavy wall-of-sound-esque sounds. When I bought it, I compared it to some tube-amps (The fender hot rod was better, the Marshall JCM 900 combo sucked against the H&K). For the price it's one of the best sounding amps I heard. Reliability: 8 I had some minor electric problems with it (in the crunch circuit), but I'm an electronic engineer so I could easily fix it myself. Also the input-plug lost it nipple several times. Easy to fix. I would not use it without a backup, but for gigging I would buy another one, and use it with different settings (eq., gain,...) and control it via footswitches. When I fixed the crunch channel I had to disassemble the amp. It has a nice simple, solid construction. Customer Support: N/A Didn't have to deal with the company. So Hi, H&K!! Overall Rating: 9 I play for 3 years now, and this is still my first real amp (I had some crappy 10 W amps which sucked big time). I'm very glad with it. Only the FX loop I don't use. I put all my FX right between guitar and amp-input. For a beginner like me looking for some great diversity in sounds with a reasonable price, this is a very good choice. If it was stolen or lost, I would perhaps buy another one. I'm finally used and I feel comfortable with this amp. Submitted by Dries Neyrinck at 07/18/2001 02:33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price Paid: 600 (Canadian) Features: 9 Solid state, 100W, with a 12" Celestion speaker, effects loop, reverb, line-out, 3 chanels, Headphone Jack. I bought it because i wanted a reliable amp loud enough to gig but still usable in my appartment. Excellent clean chanel, and very pleasant "Lead" channel add to the versatility. The chanels and the reverb/line-out are switchable. Sound Quality: 7 I use this amp with humbuckers only, often tuned down to C# (SG, Ibanez AX320 and Westone "Terminator"). I play mostly metal/hard rock/punk music and I get the tones i want from it. The clean chanel is very responsive, the crunch is so-so. I liked the sound of the lead chanel so much that i returned to the store the next day to get a switch so i can use it in a "live" situation. I don't like the "crunch" chanel: I usually put the master of the "crunch" chanel to 0, then use my switchboard to cut the sound when i want to unplug a guitar or something. I really tested this amp at hight volume, and you can cranck really loud without losing sound quality. Reliability: N/A I would not do an important gig without a backup. I had another (smaller) H&K amp before, and after many years of severe abuse it never broke down, so i'm confident with this one. Only time will tell, but the thing seems very well constructed, more than a lot of pricier amps i tried in the stores. Customer Support: N/A I get my support from the store. Overall Rating: N/A When I went to the store, i tried a lot of amps, tubes and solid state. I choosed it over all other amps in the same price range (including tubes) because this one had the sound i like. I hesitated a while between this one and a Marshall (tube). I've been playing for 15 years, and I have 3 guitars, and a bunch of effects pedals, and an old Fender "Vibro champ" that I don't use anymore. Submitted by St&eacute;phane Tremblay at 07/11/2001 16:39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Price Paid: US $459 Features: 9 this is a large sturdy, solid state amp with a good looking casing... it has one 12 in celestion pro rockdriver speaker, very good!! is has three channels, clean-very nice, gets a nice warm feel after 5 on volume(own eq), crunch - great for slightly distorted chords, or main riffs(shares eq w/ lead), lead - has an awsome natural gain, best natural gain in amp ive ever used, voicing makes for great flexibility!! doesnt come with footswitch, but they are only 20 bucks for the h&k fs-2!! Sound Quality: 10 the sound is amazing out of all three channels, anything you wanna play you can play out of this amp, and for the price, wow!!! the clean gets a great warm tone like a tube amp once turned up past 5 or 6!! the crunch is good for southern rock, country, and blues. and then the lead is great, you can get any sound you want with the voicing and its own eq(shared with crunch). not only can you emulate almost any of your favorite guitarists, but the also have there own natural gain! i dont play metal, but i think it would work pretty good.. Reliability: 6 a few days after i got it i went to jam with it and one of the springs in the back that is used to make a killer clean sound had disconnected, although i was able to fix it after a while of tinkering, is was very disturbing bc the clean channel wouldnt work, the other two channels worked fine!! Customer Support: N/A havnt dealt with them. Overall Rating: 10 the is by far the best amp for the money, i looked around for a really long time before buying this amp, at the hot rod delux, valvestate100, line6 flextone, and i picked this bc of the price and flexability!! it is an awsome ampe and i would recomend it over most 600 dollar amps, if you are looking for a amp that you can gig with or just a practice amp, this is for you!!
