TRIAMP MK II - MANUAL

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING THE TRIAMP® MK II !

When the first TriAmp® debuted in 1995, it wasn’t long until it garnered a reputation as the Holy Grail of amplifiers. And with good reason, for it was the first time that a design featuring three totally inde- pendent, dual channel, all-tube amplifiers was shoehorned into a single device. Tube tone purists were ecstatic. Its state-of-the-art handling and switching logic – optionally controllable via MIDI - enabled direct access to six of the most sought- after tonal flavors. And that put at players’ finger- tips a sonic spectrum with a breadth unrivalled by any all-tube amp. The TriAmp® MK II was truly a milestone in amp history.

Then the engineers at Hughes & Kettner® decided to play matchmaker, marrying the qualities of this milestone to the latest innovations in tube amp technology. They named the progeny of this union TriAmp® MK II. The findings of modern research flowed into the revamped six fundamental sounds. By the same token, the power amp circuit was redesigned from the bottom up, resulting in an even bigger, even more open sound.

Next to a variable effects loop (serial/parallel), the TriAmp® MK II was endowed with a Half Power switch. Now you can halve its output power from 100 watts to 50 watts whenever the mood strikes. This lowers the power amp saturation threshold.

The flagship of the Hughes & Kettner® Tube Custom Series, the TriAmp® MK II is exclusively han- dcrafted, bar a few exceptions.

Every device is put through the paces of numer- ous load and safety trials before it is subjected to ultimate test – the ears of experienced guitarists, the most sensitive gauge of them all.

When you chose the TriAmp® MK II, you opted for a top-drawer tool built by pros for pros. Courtesy of its versatility, professional-quality features, impeccable workmanship, and, above all, stunning sound quality, it truly merits the moniker “state of the art”, setting standards for generations of tube amps to come.

HERE’S WISHING YOU LOTS OF FUN AND JOY WITH THE TONE OF YOUR TRIAMP® MK II! YOUR HUGHES & KETTNER® TEAM.
