I sold my little old Tubemeister 18 last year for a Fender Twin and now I'm gonna sell my Twin for one of these. THE CIIIIIIIIIIIRCLE OF LIIIIIIIIIIIIFEEEEEEEEEE.

Tyler - "This Amp Changed Everything for Me" Me - "This Amp Will Cost Everything for Me"

The song was great.

It makes me think back to your video about being in a rut as a creater and just having to push through the ups and downs. This really is an amazing song. I'm glad your still doing what you love and making music.

Yep. This is my dream amp ever since I saw Lars from Candlemass playing it. It sounds incredible. I passed on one for half price purely because I don't play in bands and don't need anything other than a practice/modelling amp. I still regret it to this day

Such an amazing amp! Was my first/current head I bought. Have had one for 5(?) years and have never really wanted/needed any other amp. I hope you enjoy it and keep bringing this monster out!

Never thought I'd say this on a guitar gear demo... LOVE THE SONG!!!! Good job, bro!

I just purchased the same amp and combo cab 2 weeks ago upgrading from my Tubemeister 36 combo. I couldn't be more impressed, I am an H&K fan for life! Great presentation and song!

I have the deluxe 20. Not as much effects as the 40, but it still tops every Marshall, Orange, or Fender amp I've played out of! You will never be disappointed by investing in a Hughes and Kettner!

I come back to this video so many times, I love the song you wrote. It makes me genuinely happy. I've been considering buy an hughes&kettner amp and this seems to be an amazing choice.

Great song, love the layers and vox when it enters.

Wow that amp sounds awesome, looks lighting cool and thank you Tyler for showing us that awesome amplifier.

I purchased a H & K Tubemeister 36 and have recently traded in for a Grandmeister Deluxe 40 and I’m in love with playing guitar again. The tonal options also compliment a PRS custom 24. 🤘🤘🤘

Sounds pretty damn good Tyler. Its exciting to see this amp and a few others that now have XLR out.

Love the song man. I normally don't like instrumentals like that too much, but your soloing on top really felt a lot like vocals and I think for me that made it really work.

Best song I’ve ever heard for a gear demo. Well done

Let it Rock... Let it Roll 🤙🏼 tks for the demo! Good job. 🤘🏼

Nice amp Tyler. I just bought your course, excited to get started on it.

Not kidding I'm gonna buy that Thanks for telling us about that amp

Thank you for confirming what I had in mind for a purchase. I’ve been looking at several amps lately to purchase. All around the 50 watt range. I personally find many amps very limited, most amps have three channels, but basically it’s all the same sound, just different levels of distortion. I found the H&K’s four channels sound and feel dramatically different. I guess I know what I’m getting. Thanks again, and btw, great tune, really shows off the amp. 🤘 Music definitely is win.

love the song, especially the first notes and guitar tone, I would love to ear a full album like that !

I think that many people are missing is if they're watching this on an Android phone or a tablet or laptop with some cheap speakers factory speaker or crummy headphones you don't really get the full effect a h&k. as many say you need to play it for yourself it's like buying any kind of an amp what you hear on KZfaq or in a demo if you're not standing near it you really don't get to hear the full greatness of it that's the thing about the tubemeister. I was the same way with a Bogner amp and a Supro not really sure had heard demonstrations via computer until I actually went down to a music store and played one. Both of those are fantastic to just like an H&K but you actually have to sit down plug-in and play with to really get the full effect the tubemeister even if you don't have an Apple product for the extra access what it can do on its own is fantastic

I’ve got the Tubemeister 18. Don’t have all the fancy bells and whistles but it sounds great. Running it into a Harley Benton 1x12 vintage. Great amp for the money.

Ever since I saw Alex Lifeson from Rush use an H&K amp, I've wanted to check one out. This video has just added to my desire to get one. Thanks!

I have the GM36 and it's amazing. Sounds fantastic and integrates perfectly with my ES-8 based midi pedalboard. I can literally get any sound I need at the tap of a button.

That's a really neat song well played on a fine sounding amp with top quality instruments. Respect Tyler.

Its great that you're tracking parts. There is much to learn about the process, and even if you're just tracking thru the H&K you get a feel for what hard panned parts can do. You also learn about post EQ on the channel, you can find LPF & HPF here, and learn about trimming the frequency range down, creating the focused heavy guitars. I think you'll eventually get more amps and speakers. The reason I chose mostly stereo rackmount amps is because of the two for the price of one economics. Two different speakers on the same amp will certainly contrast them. You'll find 6L6 completely different to EL34. In the long run, you'll want to keep them all because it sure is nice to have such drastically different tones. Especially when you're tracking. There is nothing to fear with microphones. You don't need expensive ones. You don't need costly studio gear. Your Apollo Twin is high quality and will deliver the audio adequately. Different speakers, different amps, its like eating a different meal for dinner every night. You need the variety.

This amp was so damn clear and clinical that I returned it. Seriously. Not for people who don’t know how to optimize their pedal chain because this thing has some clear tones that are CLEANNNNNN

AAAHHHHHH, Nothing pissed me more off than yousician adds!!!!!!!!

I just bought the 36, first band jam tonight with it and it ripped! Love it!

Like the Amp. I'll look it up. Always enjoy your videos.

Sounded fantastic... love the features too

I bought this amp last fall. I love everything about it..... With the exception of having to pull it out of my rack twice in under 6 months. I'm hard pressed to find any negative feedback online about these amps. Perhaps i got a lemon? Having just gotten it back (again) from Yorkville sound..... I'm keeping my fingers crossed i have no further problems with this amp. Because it really is amazing.

I’ve been debating to get this amp. I’m running a mesa RK which is just too much at times. This seems perfect. Thanks for the demo and convincing

Great review- great tune- just bought it! You rock! (and great melody)

This is awesome! I just bought one and it's being delivered.

I have the original H&K Triamp - purchased new in 1995. It is the only amp I've used in the studio since then. Irreplaceable. Probably the best all around amp ever made - 23 years and counting. It also has the Red Box DI in it, which I never use... but yes, it's very reliable for capturing a good basic sound that you can tweak when mixing. I use a Royer 121 and a 57 on a legacy 4x12 cab up close. Mojave MA-200 a few feet back in the center of the grill. Booyah! Vintage Rock Tone!

I just Love the song! You are a big inspiration!!

Great Song, tomorrow I´ll get my Grandmeister Deluxe 40. I believe in you that this is a great Amp.

I have had This amp for a while now, and I freakin love it❤ its so versitile Best purchase i ever did🤘🤘

My first PRS gets delivered tomorrow. An S2 McCarty 594. Can't wait. I've just been introduced to the Hughes and Kettner brand. Thanks for the video!

Had my GM36 for five years now, upgraded the tubes last year... It's never sounded so good and it's still integral to my recording set up, although it's in to a Two Notes Live these days so eliminating the use of the sub-par DI on that model. It stands up at live levels too and not once have I regretted buying it.

Excellent tune. Just got a tm18 and no looking back. Last time I was tube-ing was a fender concert in the 80s that I saved up for and bought new when I was 16 years old working at Burger King. Feel like I’m home again, thanks Hughes and kettner

Love the song! Sounds great!

Damn. I just sold my Engl to downsize and I was thinking about this amp.... this video just convinced me. Thanks!

I love my TubeMeister 18. Doesn't have nearly as many features, but it also features the Red Box DI and it makes recording with an amp so much easier for me. Definitely changed things for me, too.

I got chills man.... Now that's an analogue....n great song

I think it sounds cool and you did a great job!

Yes I was waiting for this since ages

A while ago I was working with a guy who had one of these at a gig. The band were mainly playing alot of soul and 60s stuff, think Booker T and the MGs, but the clean sound on it in person was just beyond good

H&k: *snaps fingers* PRS amp: mr Larson... I don’t feel so good *dies*

I just picked this up. Its absolutely incredible

I know this doesn’t relate to the amp, but thank you for making your video called “the most underrated guitar effect”. I just played a concert at my school and had a Line 6 Spider (yes I’ll be getting a new amp. I’m just starting out though. Nothing too crazy) and I bought the EQ pedal you used in the video about 2 weeks ago and holy shit my amp sounded not bad. I wanted to say thank you for what you do

Nice review and great song:) U r amazing!

Nice work, great song!

I've got it one year ago and I fell in love. Best amp ever imho.

Wow thats a amazing amp! But what was more better was your song!! Awsome!

6:56 likely "full gamut" vs "full gambit". An interesting review and a very cool song!

Great demo, love the Hughes & Kettner amps. If they're good enough for Tony MacAlpine they're good enough for me. Liked and subscribed.

I am in love with this amp, i can't wait to get one, plus it shines, how cool is that??

Would love to get that exact rig w/ the 2x12 (maybe vertical cab) - I was lucky enough to find a dude dumping a HK Switchblade 100 for dirt cheap.. fucking love it. Gets super dirty but is still articulate. Basically I can get alot of sounds I like out of it. Now fast forward to the Grandmeister... innovation and improvement. Good sounds man! Dig the video. Envious is a positive way!!

JUST AS I WAS TALKING ABOUT WISHING I COULD HAVE THIS! SUCH TEASING! 😭😭😭

Damn man.. That's a really good tune. Props!

loved the song and the amp! i have been thinking of checking out the tubemeister 18

Great song Tyler! And he sings folks!

I've got a Tubemeister Deluxe - I love it more than my left bollock.

I own the same amp! Its truly amazing!!! Rock on!

I like it, it sounds nice, there are other amps out there that do this as well, I use the line 6 Firehawk 1500, and it does the same recording direct to the DAW via USB while pushing air, and it is nice to have that effect while recording. I agree. I actually like the Hughes and Kettner sound, hey Alex from Rush has used it for many years:) I really like my setup as well. To each their own, as long as your tone is making you happy:)

I have the same exact amp! My dream amp is a Triamp, but this one works too. 😍

Loved the song. You are a great guitarest

I’ve got the TubeMeister Deluxe 40, basically the same just without the effects but still so gooooood

Great tune and vid. I have a 1st gen Cyber Twin that can do alot. Too bad i can't really use it these days. Sorta cool i was hipped to this channel via another one for the Gibson Is Bankrupt bit. I saw the humor then and appreciate you as a player now.

I purchased this amp a month ago. First tube amp I have ever owned. Very impressed. Is there a way to listen through headphones without using an interface to a DAW? I purchased the matching Hughes Kettner 2 x 12 speakers. How does this speaker cabinet compare to any other speakers with Vintage 30's you own or are familiar with, given that the cabinet is ported?

I do "front of house" sound and have a home studio. Started doing sound in 1981 and my home studio in 2004. In addition to your Redbox DI, DI your clean guitar signal whenever you record. DI straight off the guitar before any effects or the amp. With the DI signal, you can re-amp or send it to a multitude of amp simulation plugins in your DAW. I bought the Radial Engineering J48 and X Amp ReAmping Kit. I always take a DI signal straight off the guitar whenever I record. It's easy insurance in case something happens with your original track. I've found that sometimes a guitar that sounded great soloed didn't sound that hot in the mix. Re-amping allows you to fix it without having to re-track the guitar and lose a great performance. With the addition of cabinet impulses, in your plugin chain, you can get virtually any sound you could hope for. You could improve your "Redbox" DI sound by adding the Mooer RADAR to the Redbox DI output. Pete Thorn has a good video demonstrating the RADAR. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpqfhZRkzsDGdp8.html I used the HK Redbox DI's in combination with a cabinet mic when I toured with Brother Cane in 1993. When we weren't doing arena dates we were in clubs where the stage volume had to be lower. With the Redbox DI's I could fatten up the sound in a way that wasn't possible with just the mic. You would probably never need one since it's built in on your amp but Behringer makes an inexpensive ($40.00) guitar DI (Behringer Ultra G GI100 Active DI Box) that actually sounds pretty good, as long as the 4x12 cabinent emulation is turned on.

Great song man sounds really good

The amp looks beautiful😘😀!!

Cool song and very sound review ✨

I have the tubemeister18 and it was a great purchase. Super happy. This is like that in steriods

I'm an old rack gear guy from the 90s. My gear started breaking down and I simply didn't want to tap dance on pedals all gig, so I searched for a programmable amp. I found the Switchblade 50 combo. Programmable tube amp!! Thank you Hughes & Kettner! Later, I saw a Grandmeister 40 Deluxe on local Craigslist. I traded the seller a guitar for it. I have never regretted that, this amp is my dream amp. I play live in a cover band and a U2 tribute. I use a multi effects (Boss MS3) with it, run it via the 4 cable method and switch the amp channels via Midi. It's a great amp. I play 4 hour gigs of wildly different genres and cover The Edge with this head. It's small and mighty

I have a tubemeister 18 running into a traynor dhx212 and I can confirm these amps do anything you want them to.

Nice song bro really liked it great arrangement

Bro, I've been considering buying a Hughes and Kettner for years, its the amp of choice for my favorite guitarist Allan Holdsworth

Dude, that song's awesome, you shredder ;)

Kewl tune Tyler! 🎶

I have the grandmeister delux 36 , and it's also a beast😊 love this amp😍 nice song btw😜

Holy shit dude! That song was awesome! More please!..

Great sound!

Great song! Im considering this amp, Blackstar ht 60 mk II 2x12 and Mesa triple crown 100, but this one definitely looks the coolest, I’m leaning toward the H&K.

Very nice...gonna find the download!

I love my H&K amps, I have a Tubemeister and a Studio 84.

What are the odds at the same time i clicked on this video, I thought to myself, Is he on spotify? lol Perfect time, awesome song, much love man :D

good stuff tyler, great review(as always) but the song totally blew me away it has such a ''catchy happy sounding'' melody to it.

But doesn't going direct and not coming out of the cabinet eliminate any tone you get from the speaker/cab combination?

I have a near identical set up, including the twin. A few questions for you! When you’re going Redbox into Apollo, are you putting anything in the unison? Are you going XLR to 1/4 or XLR to XLR into Apollo? Also, I noticed you said you put your pedals in the effects loop, do you put your distortions in the FX loop as well? Would truly appreciate any insight!!

Great playing and great tones. Was wondering if you opted for the 40 rather than the smaller models for the power output or if you actually needed the extra functionality? I tried a tubemeister 20 in store and loved it, but even the 18 has the power soak and red box out, although it doesn't have the amp modeling switches in the back, and at a much lesser cost. Wondering if I would be missing something. Keep up those videos!

On another note, great song. Every video is another reminder that i need to practice 😂

it's really cool in my opinion to have the functionality of a modeling practice amp in a true tube head!

Jeff Waters of Annihilator (criminally underrated guitarist) has been using H&K Grandmeisters since 2013 or so. There's a video from ... 2015, I think, where he shows his live rig and the only extra pedals he's using are an octive pedal and a tuner.

Hey Tyler! You should try playing/reviewing a Strandberg Headless Guitar with Fanned frets and tell us how it feels to go Headless show us the benefits of having fanned frets in your perspective. Thank you!

Excellent song ma friend 🤙
