THIS IS A NEW-OLD-STOCK UNIT. BOX INCLUDED. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL AMPLIFIER.
Despite the name, this mini amp can produce a warm clean sound when set to lower gain levels and the tone can be varied widely with its effective EQ. When desired it will blare out 1980s style screaming metal with the gain turned up. Overall it makes a great head for practice amp or recording DI or as an effect unit in a pedal chain. The Metal Master is the same form factor as the other Hughes & Kettner "Sound Machine" low power amps. It is equipped with two 12AX7 (ECC83) valves in the pre-amp, 3 EQ bands and a 4.5W solid-state power amp, which drives speakers through the speaker output. As can be seen in the photo at the right, it is has a wide range of output jacks. These include: tube amp out, instrument out, mix out, cabinetular out (similar in function to a H & K RedBox) and speaker out. It even contains a switchable headphone jack, which makes the unit ideal as a fully featured amp for for quiet practice. Certainly better than those "toy like" practice amps currently available.
