Custom Class

The Master Class: Handcrafted Art of Performance

Our company is powered by a passion for tone. We know that it takes a lot more than a fistful of valves and branded speakers to make great amps. You have to obsess about every detail. And it’s not just the design, the workmanship or the quality of components. The magic is in the right combination!

Our Custom Class amps are the fruit of our never-ending quest for perfect tone and performance. It is this pursuit of excellence that makes Hughes & Kettner® Custom Class amps unique instruments for unique musicians, designed to satisfy even the most discriminating guitarists’ demands. Looking for the ultimate? You’ve found it.

Our Custom Class is not about yesteryear’s designs that limit your playing flexibility. Nor are these amps about this month’s flavor. They are the perfect marriage of classic tones and modern flexibility. These treasure-troves of tone are built to go the distance in all respects.

They are handcrafted in our German custom-shop, just like you’d expect from products in this class. But despite boutique credentials such as hand-wired circuitry and superior grade hand-selected tubes, we engineer these amps using 21st-century manufacturing and cutting-edge testing methods. And that translates to dramatically diminished tolerances and variances for unprecedented reliability and consistent sound quality.

These amps look awesome. But under that stylish skin, they are tough as nails – built to take a pounding and keep on sounding! Featuring heavy-duty stainless steel chassis, they are rugged, reliable and roadworthy pieces of performing art!

Whatever your favorite flavor – The Shadows, Slade, Santana, Sting or Slipknot – you can count on our Custom Class amps to give you the definitive sounds you’ve come to expect from Hughes & Kettner. Today and at every gig for many moons to come!
